Hello Film Fans and Fanatics!
Welcome to Film Fan Fridays for Friday August 6, 2010! How on earth is it August already? Where has the summer gone? It's a mystery!
In limited release this week we have a whopping five films to choose from, but I couldn't be more excited to share that the South Korean western The Good, The Bad, The Weird is finally getting a theatrical run here in Toronto at the Bloor. I've been aching to see for over two years now! Two years! It's from director Kim Ji-woon (A Tale of Two Sisters), stars Song Kang-ho (The Host / Gwoemul, Thirst / Bakjwi), Lee Byung-hun (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) & Jung Woo-sung and has been universally championed as awesome. I can't wait to see it on the big screen! Also in limited release this week is The Death of Alice Blue which is a Canadian vampire office horror/drama, The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle which is very Canadian-looking but actually US film that is a comedy that looks something in between Primer and Junior. Also out is Get Low a dry comedy starring Robert Duvall as Felix Bush, a man who decides to plan and attend his own funeral and the documentary Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel.
In wide release this week we have a dance movie (!!) with Step Up 3D, which I know I'll be seeing, even if it's just to see the So You Think You Can Dance alums Twitch & Legacy! Also out in wide release is action/comedy The Other Guys starring Will Ferrell & Mark Walhberg as two desk-jockey cops looking to get a little more excitement at work in this action/comedy along with Aisha a Bollywood version of Jane Austen's Emma.
