Mumblecore alert: a new film by Joe Swanberg, starring him and Greta Gerwig. Gee, I wonder if it’ll focus on white, well-adjusted twentysomethings and their quirky relationships . . .
Nights & Weekends is available on IFC’s in-demand channel starting September 24.
New song! There are three more new tunes wandering the internet, collected over at You Ain’t No Picasso.
Off of Age of the Understatement, out now.
“Never Miss a Beat” single out October 6.
Focuses on the work of Clayton Patterson, who, for 30 years, captured a day-by-day visual history of New York’s Lower East Side using photography and video. Currently making the festival rounds.
From Pain Language; due out September 16.
UPDATE: The Wrestler just won the Venice Film Festival’s top prize, the Golden Lion! How awesome will it be if this takes a run at the Oscar?
This new film from Darren Aronofsky and starring Switchblade fave Mickey Rourke is currently receiving fantastic festival reviews.
“Short Documentary about No Idea Records which is run out of Gainesville Florida. The documentary was produced by students of Full Sail University in Orlando Florida.”
Notice that No Idea started out as a zine and then morphed into a record label to showcase local music. Hint hint.
Director: Neil Burger (The Illusionist)
Starring: Tim Robbins, Rachel McAdams, Michael Pena
After suffering an injury during a routine patrol, hardened sergeant TK Poole (Michael Pena) is granted a one-month leave to visit his fiancé. But when an unexpected blackout cancels all flights out of New York, TK agrees to share a ride to Pittsburgh with two similarly stranded servicemen: Cheever (Tim Robbins), an older family man who longs to return to his wife in St. Louis, and Colee (Rachel McAdams), a naive private who’s pinned her hopes on connecting with a dead fellow soldier’s family. What begins as a short trip unexpectedly evolves into a longer journey. Forced to grapple with old relationships, broken hopes and a country divided over the war, TK, Cheever and Colee discover that home is not quite what they remembered, and that the unlikely companionship they’ve found might be what matters the most.
The Lucky Ones is set to be released on September 26.
