I’m on a plane to Las Vegas first thing today, so it’s time for another round of six-word-reviewery! (Besides, there’s like a dozen movies opening this weekend. Who has time for complexity?)
California Solo: Regrets? Robert Carlyle has a few. [Susan]
Charlie Zone: Halifax crime drama shows promise, eh?
Future Weather: Climate changed, innocence lost. American indie. [Rad]
The Gatekeepers: Who watches the Israeli watchmen? Umm … [John]
Jack the Giant Slayer: Very silly, kinda cheesy, ultimately charming.
The Last Exorcism Part II: Oops, the Devil did it again. [no press screening]
Lost Rivers: Insightful urban-planning documentary. And pretty.
Of Two Minds: Bipolar disorder. Take a closer look. [Rad]
Stoker: Good luck remaking Hitchcock there, dudes.
21 and Over: Liked The Hangover and Project X, didja? [embargoed]
There, that’s everything. Oh, except for The Bitter Buddha, a pretty good documentary about Eddie Pepitone’s middle-aged rise to comic prominence screening Saturday and Sunday at the Bloor — and Pepitone’s coming in for a Q&A at Saturday’s screening. I’d be there if not for this Vegas trip, so tell him I say hi.
