An impressive number of big additions this week, specifically with The September Issue, The Maid and Flame & Citron. Yeah, I don’t know what those are either. But just when I thought that those were the only new additions the big guns started rolling in. The Informant!, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and most importantly, The Road. All three have my interest piqued for various reasons, but The Road is a film that I have been highly anticipating for about two years now, and it is a film that I believe stands a good chance of being something that I truly love.

Lots of new additions with this update, and several films get their dates shifted around as well. Its hard to decide which is the biggest addition. The documentary It Might Get Loud is certainly nice, their is the LeBron James documentary More Than A Game, Audrey Tatou’s new film Coco Before Chanel finally graces the booking sheet, and even the religion documentary Oh My God? looks to be an interesting addition.

But then we roll out the big guns. Mike Judge’s new comedy Extract, Lars von Trier’s new film Antichrist, John Woo’s Red Cliff and the whale, Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story. Should be an interesting couple of months.

Shockingly uninteresting update for this week, as no new films are added. The most exciting update seems to be that two films, The Answer Man and Burning Plain, have been pushed to later release dates. Wheee!

Wait … scratch that. One new addition this week! That being the mockumentary Paper Heart, starring Michael Cera as Michael Cera and Michael Cera’s girlfriend as Michael Cera’s girlfriend. Nice to see he is not simply relying on playing the same character over and over again, but rather simply including others in on the fun.

One interesting thing to note is that we are now scheduled to open six, count ‘em (I know you won’t!) six new films on August 14th. While theoretically we will have the screen space I just don’t see how that will ever happen. That is a ridiculous amount of new movies to release on one weekend. My guess is a couple of them get pushed, though since three of those films have already been pushed once, don’t be surprised if they simply disappear into the ether. Its a shame really, though I know this is only interesting to those of us who rabidly follow these updates. By those I of course mean me and Daniel.

A few additions this week, and a couple of films shuffle around on the schedule. Soul Power gets pushed a few weeks back, while The Merry Gentleman falls off the schedule, probably never to be seen. Hopefully The Parkway swoops in and shows it for a week.

As for additions, Jane Campion’s latest film, Bright Star, finally has a release date, and it will open exclusively at The Uptown, while the back end of the schedule sees several new additions with Other Man, No Impact Man, The Boys are Back and Crude receiving bookings. But, of course, the big addition is A Serious Man, the Coen Brother’s latest film has been booked for an exclusive engagement at The Uptown. But keep an eye on The Walker, as they are in talks to screen the film much earlier then the October release date.

I’m probably not supposed to reveal that little detail but really, like either party is reading this blog.
