Rummaging through the Old Maids (10/3/08)
Posted by: Matt Gamble in Features, Movies, Previews, TrailersForgive me if my mind is somewhere else today. It is difficult to select new releases to recommend when I have recently received word that Bruce Campbell, The Chin himself, will be coming to the Twin Cities for the opening of My Name is Bruce. Which means I will get to meet him. This, along with meeting the Coen Brothers a few weeks ago, really makes me so much cooler then any of you. In my mind.
Anyways, it is slim pickings once again for DVD releases on Tuesday. I’m tempted to pick The Happening, which I actually did enjoy, but decided I’d pick a film I wanted to see but only had a split-second release in theaters. That movie being Boy A.
For theatrical releases it seems as if somewhere close to two dozen films are being released this weekend. While Flash of Genius, Appaloosa, Religulous and A Girl Cut in Two all look interesting enough for me to watch at some point, this week I am recommending a movie that I have already seen, enjoyed quite a bit and am quite confident most people will not like at all because nothing really happens in it. This movie is better known as Blindness.
As always trailers are after the break!

Damn you get to meet the Chin?!?! I’m so jealous. I wish he’d come up to our neck of the woods. Can’t wait to see My Name Is Bruce.

Lucky! He was here a few years ago and I planned to go, but got sick at the last minute.

I met Campbell back in 2001 or 2002 at the University of South Florida, where he gave a hilarious 90 minute “lecture” and then signed copies of his book up until 2 in the morning. He seemed gracious, patient and sincere. It was a real pleasure to have met him, as brief as it was.

Also, I can’t wait to see Appaloosa.
As for the DVD releases for this week, people need to see The Visitor; it’s one of the year’s best.
