Ugh, a very dull, slim week. Absolutely nothing worth purchasing and most of these are simply curiosities that I've scrummaged through all the Rambo dross.
Mala Noche (Directors Suite)Gus Van Sant's first film - other than that I know very little about it. A curiosity definitely, has a strong reputation.
My Spy (aka My Mom's New Boyfriend)
A direct to the shelf film? I think. There seem to be so many. And then there are film's that seem to play less than a week in theatres and are then forgotten. Directed by George Gallo (who wrote Midnight Run) it has a decent middle of the road cast, including Antonio Banderas, Meg Ryan, Colin Hanks and Selma Blair. I hope they didn't change the title because of 'Mom'?
There's Always Tomorrow (Directors Suite)I couldn't find a cover for this but above is a still - it sounds like the most interesting release of the week. A Douglas Sirk film from 1956 in stars Fred MacMurray, it seems like ripe Sirk material and something other than Double Indemnity that MacMurray could sink his teeth into. It grabbed my attention though, because it has a commentary by John Flaus and Adrian Martin. Wow! Brings back memories of the old Film Buffs Forecast days! Definitely a rental.
Run Fatboy Run
Everyone is going to rent this, other than those that will buy it so I don't need to say anything else.
Feast of Love
Yet another straight to video flick (I think?) with an A grade cast (Morgan Freeman, Greg Kinnear). Obviously there are just too many films being made. Or there are not enough cinemas? Or there are too many? Or my head's about to explode!
The Hunting Party
Another straight to video (?). I liked Richard Shepherd's The Matador so this will probably be a rental as well at some point, although it looks like a more straight forward actioner than that idiosyncratic flick.
