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!

Few new additions to the list but a bunch of movies are shuffled around to new locations and new release dates. Their are two big additions though, The Edina’s 75th Anniversary bash just got a little bigger with a screening of The Adventures of Robin Hood scheduled for Saturday August 29th. I’m relatively certain it is going to be an early show so parents can bring their kids to see it. Word on the street is they are trying to book a show for Thursday night as well. A little birdie told me that they are pursueing a whale for that slot. Wonder what that could be? Hmm.
The other big addition is Thirst on September 4th. Chan-wook Park’s latest is scheduled to open at The Lagoon, but I wouldn’t be suprised if it eventually opens at The Uptown if it starts gaining some buzz.

A huge number of new additions this week, I suppose that is what happens when the booking sheet isn’t sent out for two weeks. I’d list them off but it is somewhere in the neighborhood of ten films, which will just take me way to long to go through.
I will say this, the July 10th weekend is now looking like one hecdk of a weekend to go to the theatre. I’m recommending three of the films, and I’ve heard from several people that Jerichow is just as worthy of a watch.
The only other big addition is Inglorious Bastards, which is incredibly tentative right now to open at the Lagoon. And while I’m sure that is going to be a very wide release, that style of exploitation cinema really works better on a screen that isn’t in a giant multiplex. Though I do understand the subversive appeal of watching such a film along with tweens who have no idea what they are in for.
Though with all these new additions their is one film that dropped off the sheet, that being Mesrine: Part One. Hopefully it shows up again in the coming weeks as it looked very interesting.
Just in time for the upcoming Oscars, shocking I know, several theatres here in the Twin Cities have decided to host some movie marathons of films nominated for this year’s Oscars, from Live Action and Animated short films, to Documentary to every Best Picture nominee, you can find them somewhere in the Cities this weekend and next.
