Want to Know About Some Cool Movies?

I thought so.

Here's a great interview from salon.com with director Mike Leigh (Secrets & Lies, Vera Drake) about his new film Happy Go Lucky (10/10). Here's the trailer.

In the same article Stephanie Zacharek gives David Koepp's "Ghost Town," kudos, referring to it as "breezy and smart." I will see any movie that's referred to as breezy. Here's the trailer.

I ran across another great piece from Zacharek on the sad state of romantic comedies. The article is from '99, but guess what? It's nearly a decade later and romantic comedies still suck.

Here's a few other movies you'll probably want to see.

John Patrick Shanley's Doubt. (It was a play first, but you probably know this because you are smart.)

Jonathon Demme's Rachel Getting Married on October 3rd.

Here's an article about upcoming indie flick Gigantic. Zooey Deschanel is in it. Need I say more?

More Girl News!

Today I am listening to She and Him- Volume 1, the anxiously awaited collaboration between Zooey Deschanel and M.Ward. I've been lucky enough to catch this dreamy indie collaboration twice, once last year at the El Rey and earlier this year at the Disney Concert Hall. Both times I was blown away, not just by Ms. Deschanel's enviable fashion style and what are undeniably the coolest bangs ever sported, but I am in love with her voice. Watch this clip and you will see why.



Listen to She and Him

Rolling stone digs She & Him almost as much as I do.
