In Bruges

June 13th 2008 12:51

Bruges, the most well-preserved medieval city in the whole of Belgium, is a welcoming destination for travellers from all over the world. But for hit men Ray and Ken, it could be their final destination; a difficult job has resulted in the pair being ordered right before Christmas by their London boss Harry to go and cool their heels in the storybook Flemish city for a couple of weeks. Very much out of place amidst the gothic architecture, canals, and cobbled streets, the two hit men fill their days living the lives of tourists. Ray, still haunted by the bloodshed in London, hates the place, while Ken, even as he keeps a fatherly eye on Ray's often profanely funny exploits, finds his mind and soul being expanded by the beauty and serenity of the city. But the longer they stay waiting for Harry's call, the more surreal their experience becomes, as they find themselves in weird encounters with locals, tourists, violent medieval art, a dwarf American actor shooting a European art film, Dutch prostitutes, and a potential romance for Ray in the form of Chloë, who may have some dark secrets of her own. And when the call from Harry does finally come, Ken and Ray's vacation becomes a life-and-death struggle of darkly comic proportions and surprisingly emotional consequences.

The trailer for in Bruges is below. It will be released in Australia on August 28th, 2008.

Genre: Comedy / Crime / Drama
Directed by: Martin McDonagh
Produced by: Graham Broadbent, Peter Czernin
Written by: Martin McDonagh
Starring: Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes, Elizabeth Berrington, Rudy Blomme, Mark Donovan, Olivier Bonjour
Distributed by: Focus Features
Runtime: 107 mins
Release date: USA - January 17th, 2008; Australia - August 28th, 2008; UK - April 18th, 2008
Rating: USA - PG-R; for strong bloody violence, pervasive language and some drug use.

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People

May 16th 2008 12:57

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is an upcoming comedy film based upon British writer Toby Young's 2001 memoir, also called How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. The film will follow a similar storyline, about his five year struggle to make it in the United States after employment at Vanity Fair magazine — though the names of the magazine and people Young came into contact with during the time were changed for the film adaptation. The film version is a highly fictionalized account, and differs greatly from the work it was built upon.

How to Lose Friends And Alienate People will be released in the United Kingdom on October 3rd, 2008. The Australian release date is October 9th and the US release date is October 3rd

Smart People

April 9th 2008 10:11

Professor Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid) might be imperiously brilliant, monumentally self-possessed and an intellectual giant – but when it comes to solving the conundrums of love and family, he’s as downright flummoxed as the next guy. His teenaged daughter (Ellen Page) is an acid-tongued overachiever who follows all too closely in dad’s misery-loving footsteps, and his adopted, preposterously ne’er- do-well brother (Thomas Haden Church) has perfected the art of freeloading. A widower who can’t seem to find passion in anything anymore, not even the Victorian Literature in which he’s an expert, it seems Lawrence is sleepwalking through a very stunted middle age. When his brother shows up unexpectedly for an extended stay at just about the same time as he accidentally encounters his former student Janet (Sarah Jessica Parker), the circumstances cause him to stir from his deep, deep freeze, with often comical, sometimes heartbreaking, consequences for himself and everyone around him.
The American release date is April 11th while the Australian release date is April 24th
