Lots of additions to the late months of the sheet, hopefully they stay on but with that much lead time who knows at this point. The big addition is the Miyazaki anime film Ponyo.Hopefully he keeps up his seemingly flawless run. And while it is scheduled to open at the Edina, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it actually open at The Uptown. Daniel should also note that his fondest wish has come true, as the new Harry Potter film has been added to the schedule as well. Maybe you should keep your mouth shut next time, Daniel!

Kathryn Bigelow’s latest film, The Hurt Locker, certainly has caught my eye, but I’m still not sure if this film will be as good as it appears it will be. She’s made good films like Point Break and Strange Days, but also terrible films like Blue Steel and K-19: The Widowmaker. And the fanboys will hate me for this, but Near Dark is totally overrated. Hopefully, though, this ends up being another one of her good films.
Interest level: Rising
The Hurt Locker will open exclusively on July 10th at the Minneapolis Uptown Theatre.
Nothing like a good German love triangle type drama to really cleanse the palate. Am I right or am I right? Right? The good news is Jerichow is a remake of The Postman Always Rings Twice. The bad news? The trailer is in German, so you’ll just have to trust me on that.
Interest level: Should be higher
Jerichow will open at the Landmark Edina Theatre on July 10th.
Ahhh, Whatever Works, the latest film from Woody Allen, which once again proves that he can make a film every year. They may not be good films, but he finishes ‘em. I suppose that has to account for something, though I have no idea what. At this point all I really ask for from Woody is that the film is tolerable.
Interest level: Tepid
Whatever Works will open in Minneapolis on July 3rd at the Lagoon Cinema.
Considering I tend to be a bit biased on which films I recommend to watch, I figured I would start posting trailers to all the films that will be playing at Landmark Theatres here in town. That way, you can decide what films you want to watch. What a concept!
First up, The Girl from Monaco. A classic attorney meets girl, giurl turns attorney into a wreck farce that the French love so much. Will the attorney put his head on straight before his trial falls apart?
The Girl from Monaco opens on July 3rd at The Edina Theatre.
