Big Screen Little Screen

Kill Your Idols - Palm Pictures, who’ve brought us the Directors Series, supply a new music doc covering the NY underground from the 70’s to the present, featuring interviews and performances from Lydia Lunch to Sonic Youth, Swans to Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

The Motel - Also from Palm. Director Michael Kane’s blog pubertysucks.com pretty much sums it up for the coming of age flick. “Either you kiss my sister, or you fight me.”

Harsh Times - Featuring Christian “I have to return some videotapes” Bale and Freddy Rodriguez (Six Feet Under). Directed by David Ayer, writer of Traning Day. No similarities whatsoever.

The Prestige - Christopher Nolan’s latest with Hugh Jackman, Christian “Do you like Phil Collins?” Bale, S. Johannson (can’t resist magician movies.)

Little Miss Sunshine - Greg Kinnear, Steve Carrell, Toni Collette, Yellow Bus, mutes with bowl haircuts, Alan Arkin shooting heroin, beauty pageants for tots. Opens July 26th.

88 Minutes - Al Pacino high-tails it Jack Bauer style as his would-be hunter uses up precious cellphone minutes with countdown updates, as in “now you have 83 minutes left to live.” How uncouth.
