LOOKING FORWARD TO FALL

Minus one rom-com

THE ACCIDENTAL HUSBAND | OPENS 8.22.08

This film comes out several times a year, always with the same sorry premise.

The month of April in films ... trailers? OK, just us judging books (movies) by their covers (trailers)

LEATHERHEADS | OPENS 4.4.08

Once, football wasn't an oppressive and dominant force that bringing us such joy 18/19ths of the time. Professional football leagues went bankrupt, the games were lawless donnybrooks and all the sports reporters were men

DEFINITELY, MAYBE

Three things can always make a woman coo: babies, baby animals and men taking care of babies. In Definitely, Maybe Ryan Reynolds dons the daddy -role to Abigail Breslin's little bundle of cuteness, but his stunning lack of talent will be more likely to cause gagging than cooing.

FOOL'S GOLD

This is basically a movie-version of the all-too-familiar tabloid photos of Matthew McConaughey running around shirtless on a beach.

[Trailer Park] TP_HerDeadBodySM

OVER HER DEAD BODY

Paul Rudd plays a man falling in love with the hack psychic (Lake Bell) he hired to communicate with his deceased fiancée (Eva Longoria-Parker). The bride returns to earth as an enraged ghost, intent on breaking up the couple.

WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORY

OPENS 11.2

Remember that kid from Almost Famous? Whatever happened to that kid? He's back in the limelight as the hapless hero in this indier-than-thou dark comedy from Croatian director Goran Dukic. When Zia (aforementioned Almost Famous kid Patrick Fugit) offs himself, he wakes up in a limbo reserved for suicide victims. Cue ... road trip? With Tom Waits? Holy emo haircut, Batman! Wristcutters could either be the best doom-on-the-open-road comedy since Thelma & Louise, or an insufferable display of po-mo pud-pulling. Either way, bring along the Prozac.

SHARKWATER

OPENS 11.2

Word up, humanity: Apparently, sharks are wicked misunderstood. They don't want to eat people-they want to eat other stuff. You can even give a shark a big ol' hug! At least, filmmaker Rob Stewart does. Sharkwater hones in on our skewed perspective of sharks; just cause they're not adorable like dolphins or manatees doesn't mean they don't deserve our love. Traveling around the world, Stewart argues that sharks are a vital part of the ecosystem, and should be protected. Expect plenty of footage of mangled shark carcasses on the land and shark-lovin' underwater.

Day #1 at Tales...

By pinklady on Fri, Jul 18, 2008 7:15 pm

Began late with a perfect Pimm's Cup and breakfast at the Napoleon House. YUMMMM...If you've never had a Pimm's Cup do yourself a favor and check this cocktail out, especially if you happen to be in the quarter, near the Napoleon House. We also sampled a Roast Beef Po' Boy, since evidently the deep fried version we had the evening before just wasn't enough for us, and a Muffaletta, which comes portioned as a whole, half, and quarter sandwich. We ordered the quarter size, and it was still as big as my head.

 


Tales Pre-party

By pinklady on Wed, Jul 16, 2008 12:24 pm

Before dinner MiMi, Em, and I (Pink Lady) head down to the Carousel Bar for Vieux Carres and to meet up with Hanky Panky and Barbara West. The Carousel Bar spins in the center of the room, so to chat with these seated gals, we have to march slowly around the room with them. We're doing the "Carousel Crawl." It looks impossibly silly.
