Sneak Peek At Some Movies We’ve Got Our Eyes On

Monday, September 21st, 2009

It’s the best movie time of the year right now…the Fall/Winter/For Your Consideration Season.  Here are a few of the upcoming films we have our eye on.

Capitalism: A Love Story.  Love him or hate him, Michael Moore always makes an interesting movie. And this time, he’s got his eye on the global economic meltdown.  Capitalism opens on the 23rd in limited release in New York and Los Angeles and everywhere October 2nd. See how the folks in Moore’s hometown of Detroit reacted to the film here. Enjoy the trailer below.

This one is our wild card.  An Education has a stellar cast (Peter Sarsgaard, Emma Thompson and Alfred Molina) but a story that seems to have been done before…. teenage girl wise beyond her years falls for an older man, blah blah blah.  But, the exquisite cast , the dreary/dreamy setting of 1960′s England and a script by Nick Hornby, have us intrigued. An Education opens on October 9th.  Enjoy the trailer below.

The Damned United is a football (British use of the term) movie that tells the story of the rise and fall of one of Englands’ most notorious and beloved figures, coach Brian Clough.   Wonderfully acted by a cast that includes Michael Sheen and Colm Meaney and directed with the loving hand of Tom Hooper, it’s a film that fans and non-fans can all enjoy.  The Damned United opens October 9th, and you guessed it, the trailer is below.

And finally, Broken Embraces is the lastest film from the fabulous team of Penelope Cruz and Pedro Almodovar.  It’s Almodovar’s  first noir -like film and we can’t wait.  The film opens November 20th.  Peep the trailer below.

To paraphrase the great hip hop artist Rob Base, “Ladies Love Him, Girls Adore Him” and a few dudes do too. Whether you fell in love with him from “Quantum Leap”, “Murphy Brown”, “Star Trek:Enterprise” or anywhere else you may have seen him, Scott Bakula is the man. He returns in theaters this Friday with The Informant, (air quotes) “starring” Matt Damon and returns in January to tv in the show “Men of a Certain Age”. Sorry, Ray Romano, but we all know who the real star of that show is.
