Almost nothing new added this week, nothing that is, except for Harry Brown and The Kids are Alright. And while The Kids are Alright does little to inspire confidence in it being anything of particular note, Harry Brown does the exact opposite. Probably because Michael Caine as a vigilante is pitch perfect casting, even at his current age.

What a difference a week makes. This time I actually am up to date on posting the list, as well as finally getting some time to check out the new additions and see just what the heck they might be. Best Worst Movie needed little introduction, as I’ve been waiting to see it since it debuted on the festival circuit almost two years ago. In addition we have what looks to be a fascinating documentary on directors called, surprisingly, Great Directors. Mumblecore masters the Duplass brothers seem to be hitting the big time with their latest star studded film Cyrus. But the film that most caught my eye, is the Jeff Daniels starring film Paper Man, which in and of itself is great, but when Ryan Reynolds is playing his imaginary friend Captain Excellent I tend to get a wee bit excited.

Its shaping up to be a pretty damn good summer for Indie film fans. Who knew?

Tons of new additions this week, probably because I’ve been too busy to post a new list in the last month. My bad. And thanks to the ridiculous amount of new films I’m going to bypass most of my rambling and just say that the Red Riding trilogy looks amazing. Like whoa level amazing.

And the posters? Oh man, they make we want to … well … you get the idea.

Its been sometime since I’ve been able to post a recent Coming Soon list so you’ll notice that a vast majority of the movies listed are labeled new additions. With the sheer number of new additions I didn’t have the time to go through and check out trailers and reviews for some of them but I did try to label as many of those as I could as recommended. The Red Riding trilogy coming in March is certainly one that I have an eye on, as I’ve heard excellent things about it.

Of course the movie I’m most excited about on the whole sheet is the one being re-released this weekend at The Uptown, that being Rashomon, the breakout International hit for my favorite director, Akira Kurosawa. If you haven’t had the chance to see it yet, now is the perfect time to swing by The Uptown and watch one of the greatest films ever made.
