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.

I’ve been on bit of a werewolf kick as of late. By as of late I of course mean since I first started dating my girlfriend some 30 odd months ago. So what do werewolves and my girlfriend have in common you ask? This question, and many more, I promise to answer in the next several paragraphs. I may even sneak in one or two comments on this weeks entry while I’m at it.
Back when Fox was a brand new network it was initially viewed as the brash young upstart that was merely for kids and infantile grownups. Programming like The Tracy Ullman Show, 21 Jump Street, and Married with Children did little to dispel this notion in the publics eye, and the Fox Network certainly enjoyed being viewed as the rebel network.. But Fox was up to something on Saturday nights when it began broadcasting the television show Werewolf in 1987. Designed with adults in mind, nonetheless a legion of teens, tweens, and other assorted pre-pubescent watched the show. I mean, if it is on television, how scary could it be?
