Lame Mainstream, Hot Indies

Just read an article entitled “Worst Weekend Box Office in Years..”  Here’s the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/09/worst-weekend-box-office_n_1868916.html

So what’s out there now? The Words (a writer steals another person’s work- Dullsville) and The Cold Light of Day (a family is kidnapped and secret agents are looking for a briefcase- Clicheville).

Contrast that to the independent films now showing or will very soon.

First, there’s David Cronenberg’s new film Cosmopolis, an adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel. Here’s the link to the movie website: http://cosmopolis-movie.com/

Coming September 14th

Detropia is coming soon. Detroit is on the brink of dissolving as a city. Detropia documents the rise, demise, and potential abandonment of Detroit. The story is universal to all decaying cities in America. Here’s the link: http://www.detropiathefilm.com

Coming September 21st.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film The Master looks, well, masterful. Philip Seymour Hoffman gets better and better with age, not to mention Joaquin Phoenix. Here’s the link: http://www.themasterfilm.com/

Finally, top that off with September 21st and 22nd midnight showings of Iron Sky. Here’s the link:  http://www.ironsky.net/

There are awesome movies out there, you just have to know where to look- not at a mainstream theater.
