It seriously blew my mind. A comedy with zero jokes, I can't wait.

I had to sit through that trailer (non-red band one) a couple weeks ago before 30 Minutes or Less. Not one laugh in the entire theater. It was awkward in a "why the fuck does this exist" kind of way.

I like the cast and it's from the same guy who directed Capote.

Take Shelter looks incredible. I love Michael Shannon.

Just watched the trailer, I agree. Putting that on the list. That means 5 movies that I want to watch. Will probably only end up seeing Drive and 50/50 though. Unless some friends want to watch the other 3.

Curious about:

Take Shelter (why do the promo pics remind me of The Happening?!)
Drive (guessing this will be all style no sub, but hopefully the style is good)
Tucker & Dale (not a horcom person myself but the premise is cute)

And will probably see the one with Marion Cotillard and the other one with Rachel Weisz.

Expendable, do you watch foreign language movies?
Click to expand...

Yeah absolutely love foreign films. Almost every year they are actually much better as a whole than Hollywood or even indie output here in the states.

What a brilliant month.

Gonna watch all of the top 10 save for Restless. Seems pretty boring.

Also, Straw Dogs and Killer Elite. Busy month.

Won't stop picking the right nation
I question the wisdom of turning Moneyball into a film (this talent would be much better applied to The Big Short), but a Miller/Sorkin combo seems irresistible - at least if Miller can live up to Capote.

Maybe you should start recommending these movies in this thread. Maybe some kind of sub category. There are a lot of great indie/foreign film that gafers should pay attention too :)

With Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Drive and Tucker & Dale Vs Evil all coming out so close to each other over here, I'm actually just planning on spending a day at the cinema. Should be good. Just trying to figure out what would be the best order.

Well, this plan only really works properly if Tucker & Dale gets shown in Manchester. Hopefully.

Wait, Shark Night is only PG-13? Fuck that, then. I'll replace that with Tucker & Dale.

And I absolutely love Nick Swardson's comedy and Grandma's Boy, but Bucky Larson looks like it could be the worst movie of all-time.

Talked with mods and not going to have anything linking to my site in these posts anymore since it qualifies as spam since it is not original content. Sorry, just have to do a quick Google search for the trailers from now on!

Yep, I always recommend any ones on my radar! Just check out past lists, which are full of them. There was nothing this month worth recommend, aside from possibly Love Exposure. But I only realized that was getting a limited NYC run after I posted the list :( It wasn't even on Box Office Mojo.

What a terrible month for films. Also Tucker & Dale is available to rent on the Zune marketplace right now. :)

I guess Take Shelter is the only film I will see, will rent Contagion when it comes out on dvd.

I think it's fair enough that you don't spam your blog with all of these topics.

But if you are going to keep making them you should replace links with Youtube trailers etc. Just lazy not to just because it's not self promotion any longer.

Definitely going to see Drive and 50/50. Might try to catch Lion King in 3D simply for the nostalgia. Might just wait until DVD to see the others I'm interested in (Contagion and Straw Dogs).

Really looking forward to Drive and Take Shelter. I'll probably also try to catch 50/50, Contagion, and Moneyball (although Brad Pitt's haircut infuriates me for some reason) at some point.

I've been waiting impatiently for Drive since it was announced as Refn's next film. Glad to read so many positive reviews for it although I have a bad feeling about how it will do at the box office.

Love Exposure was in LA a few months ago and I missed it.

I continually joke with my friends that if this was a VOD release, we would totally download it under the influence just to see the results. Sony should just do that, might make more money.

Will see Dream House, Apollo 18 and Warrior due to work, will see Moneyball, Contagion, Drive and Limelight because I want to.

Already seen Tucker & Dale, which was fun for sure.

Apollo 18 is already out in UK and I keep hearikng bad impressions about it. Unless you like the live horror thingy, I'd say stay out of it.

Wow, Warrior is getting some nice reviews so far. Going to have to check it out when it hits the cheap theater.

Interested to see the Contagion reviews.

I saw Take Shelter at the local film festival a month or two ago, and would really recommend it. I'll probably be seeing it again if it gets a wider release over here.

Who did Jessica Chastain blow in the last year or two?

I mean... man she's really getting a lot of work.
Click to expand...

She actually shot The Tree of Life years ago, but since then people wanted to work with her after Malick brought her on....so she ended up shooting all of these movies and after some getting delayed (The Debt, Texas Killing Field), they are all finally coming out all around the same time.

Yep, and all the Venice reviews just came out. Almost everyone says it is amazing. So very jealous.

Do people actually like most of the shit that Jason Statham is in?

Apart from that, all of the other movies look great. Bucky Larson looks awesome.
