Leaving

Director: David Fincher
Written By: Aaron Sorkin
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010

Despite the suspiciously glowing reviews on RottenTomatoes, I’m still interested in seeing this. And it’s not because I’m all that interested in Facebook. I am interested in the story the filmmakers have devised. It’s not like this is actually how it all went down.
Diagnosis: Want to see.

Director: Christian Alvart
Written By: Ray Wright
Starring: Renée Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, Ian McShane, Bradley Cooper
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010

Horror film month is approaching soon and with it a slew of films where randy youths get chopped to bits and people deal with tangible demons. It’s pretty much my favorite month for mainstream B horror and attempts at something better. This doesn’t look like the later.
Diagnosis: If I have time.

Director: Matt Reeves
Written By: Matt Reeves
Starring: Chloe Moretz, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Richard Jenkins, Elias Koteas
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010

It’s a remake. I liked the original, but some positive reviews have turned on the curiosity. So much for my stance on remakes.
Diagnosis: Interested in seeing.

Director: Wilson Yip
Written By: Edmond Wong
Starring: Donnie Yen, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, Fan Siu-Wong, Xiong Dailin
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010

If I see the phrase “one man defies an empire” one more time, I’m gonna scream. Didn’t we get that same description for Hero as well? Seriously. Time to get new copy.
Diagnosis: I eat this punchy-kicky-shit up like cocoa puffs.

Release Date: Oct 1, 2010 (Limited)

As much as I love tales of infidelity and woe (I don’t), the trailer just doesn’t grab me. I think after the third shot of the lady running away and the mean ol’ coot of a husband staring off into the distance, I decided not to seek this one out. But I’m a guy…and I like punchy-kicky-shit and cocoa puffs.
Diagnosis: Not interested.

Admittedly, I’ve grown into a bit of a documentary person. Not sure when that happened, but the few on my Netflix Instant Queue remain there for a definite reason. Now there’s this one and the trailer has piqued my interest.
Diagnosis: Want to see.

Director: Chris D’Arienzo
Written By: Chris D’Arienzo
Starring: Patrick Wilson, Judy Greer, Chloë Sevigny, Cybill Shepherd
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010 (Limited)

Not entirely sure on the premise, but the trailer makes me think that this could either be really fun or really suck.
Diagnosis: Tentative…

Director: George Hickenlooper
Written By: Norman Snider
Starring: Kevin Spacey, Barry Pepper, Jon Lovitz, Kelly Preston
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010 (Limited)

Did they just say “show me the money” in the trailer? *shoots self*
Diagnosis: Pass.

Director: Adam Green

Starring: Kane Hodder, Danielle Harris, Tony Todd, Parry Shen
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010 (Limited)

There’s a Hatchet 1?! Wow. The trailer promises a lot, but I think the B horror nature of it has won me over already.
Diagnosis: Need to see the first one first. But yeah..

Director: Drake Doremus
Written By: Drake Doremus, Andrew Dickler
Starring: Andrew Dickler, Ben York Jones, Marguerite Moreau, Nicole Vicius
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010 (Limited)

Saw the trailer to this before Enter The Void. I’m kind of curious.
Diagnosis: I’m kind of curious.

Director: Max Bartoli
Written By: Max Bartoli, Doug Burch, Sam Ingraffia
Starring: Michael Rooker, Dean Haglund, Greg Travis, Kera O’Bryon
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010 (Limited)

The trailer wasn’t working for me, but the premise seems interesting enough. Really, anything that starts with “on a routine mission” promises some degree of calamity.
Diagnosis: If there’s time. Otherwise, DVD..

Director: John Borges
Written By: David Landsberg
Starring: John Livingston, Erin Cardillo, Dana Green, Fiona Gubelmann
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010 (Limited)

I question the “based on a true story” subtitle. I also see the National Lampoon logo on the poster and…there goes any interest in seeing this gem.
Diagnosis: Pass.

There’s a lot of plot to sift through on the synopsis on RottenTomatoes. Um..this might be a wait for Netflix for me.
Diagnosis: Netflix Instant

It’s a documentary.

I feel like I’ve seen this plot play out in other films, but it sounds like it could be a fun film nonetheless. But honestly, who these days is silly enough to use a shared computer for online dating sites?

I’ve got this constant fascination with Roller Derby. Meant to see Whip It with Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore, but forgot. I think I would probably be more interested in this, however, as it’s real Roller Derby folk.
Diagnosis: Want to see.

Director: Michael Imperioli
Written By: Michael Imperioli
Starring: Aunjanue Ellis, E.J. Carroll, Emory Cohen, Joe Caniano
Release Date: Oct 1, 2010 (Limited)

The synopsis didn’t grab me initially, but watching through the trailer kind of grabbed me.
Diagnosis: It kind of grabbed me. Maybe I’ll see it.
