Rummaging through the Old Maids (9/26/08)
Posted by: Matt Gamble in Features, Movies, Previews, TrailersI’m running a bit behind today so I am going to have to keep this relatively short. In semi non-related news I finally broke down and bought an Eee this week, and it should arrive sometime next week. I’ve been eyeing one for sometime so I can actually get some work done while I am on the road visiting family, and it should allow me to not have to sit in my cramped room all the time when I type things up.
As for new releases this week the easy choice for theaters is the new adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke, starring Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Houston and a slew of other people you will recognize but not know their names. I had the chance to see it several months ago at the Mpls/St Paul International Film Festival and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Hopefully you will too.
But the film I am most excited for this week is getting released on DVD this upcoming Tuesday, and that is Bigger Stronger Faster*. It is a documentary on the steroid culture in the United States and it is outstanding. It is one of a slew of excellent documentaries being released this year, which is looking to be yet another banner year for the genre. Do yourself a favor and watch the movie.
As always trailers are after the break!

I am definitely excited about the DVD release of BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER as that one has eleuded me. Some are contending it will rank up there with UP THE YANGTZE and MAN ON WIRE among the year’s best docs, but we’ll see. KI will be seeing CHOKE tonite at my northern New Jersey multiplex, as well as either THE DUTCHESS or the poorly-reviewed Spike Lee film. Good trailers.
