the swinging of a foot at a rear end.

This Trailer is Kick-Ass!
God, how do you contain the clever?  It...it cannot be, it is running wild!!! Hide your feeble minds!

Mark Millar comic, if you know it, you're probably amped like a meth fiend at Andre Agassi's house.  If you don't know it, you're missing out; and this film and it's filmmaker Matthew Vaughan are going to blindside you in a very good way.

Aronofsky's The Black Swan UPDATE

If you haven't heard about Darren Aronofsky's latest project entitled The Black Swan I'll give you a brief rundown.  The story revolves around the rivalry to two ballerina's, both vying for the top spot in a big production after the former star leaves.  The two aforementioned tip-toe enthusiasts will be played by Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.  What's that you say?  "Sounds pretty lame", "Doesn't sound like an Aronofsky film", "Ballerina's SUCK!"  I know there are a lot of ballet haters out there.  This is an Aronofsky film because the character played by Kunis MAY or MAY not actually be a real person.   
AHH THERE IT IS. 

According to Aintitcoolnews.com, besides the main two, Winona Rider, Barbra Hershey and Vincent Cassel have recently been cast.

FIX

Fix is the debut narrative film by  documentary filmmaker Tao Ruspoli.  The film has a fly on the wall-docu feel to it, which is no surprise due to Ruspoli's background.   I must say that based upon the two trailers I have viewed and the solid word of mouth and awards it has received, Fix could be the indy movie that could of next year.

Mary and Max

Mary and Max is a stopmotion claymation film written and directed by Academy Award winning  animator, Adam Elliot.   It is Elliot's first feature length film; he won an Academy award for his short claymation project Harvie Krumpet in 2003.  Elliot tells the tale of a unlikely pen-pal relationship between Mary, a lonely, self conscious 8 year old girl and Max, a 44 year old obese, Jewish man with Aspergers .  Epic in it's scope, particularly for claymation, their story spans 20 years.  The film has garnered a good buzz and a great response so far.  Mary and Max features the voices of Philip Seymour Hoffman, Toni Collette and Eric Bana.  


Norewegian Death Metal, murderous and vile or genius? Or both?

Until The Light Takes Us is a documentary film that follows and dissects the rise and history of Norewegian death metal.  Death or, black metal is a controversial musical subculture that is known as much for it's incredible musicians and layered, staggering pieces as it is for it's alleged links to many serious crimes throughout Norway.  From the looks of it, this piece really gets into the heart of this art form, letting the people who we there from the start tell their story.  



Michael Rupert and Chris Smith bring us Collapse

I'm not going to say too much, the trailer speaks for itself.  Even if you think Ruppert is a crackpot, conspiracy theorist, a view in which I do not share, there is undeniable facts that in many cases he has been way ahead of the curve.
