The Buzz: What else can you say about a movie when you're most engaged by its myriad development and production issues? In the wake of The Avengers, a project such as this threequel seems almost quaint in its scope. Though I am looking forward to Brolin-as-K and Jemaine Clements's spin on an alien leader. And, in truth, I'm hoping that the smattering of reviews that proclaim the spirit of the original is recapture here rings true.

Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
A pair of young lovers flee their New England town, which causes a local search party to fan out and find them.
Director:Wes Anderson |
| Watch Trailer Get Showtimes |
The Buzz: For an increasing number of people, it seems the best thing Wes Anderson could do would be to break away from the familiar. Let's see if a period romantic drama with fresh faced and unknown leads does the trick.

The Buzz: As Paranormal Activity creator Oren Peli's brand of low-budget/ultra scary horror pervades the big- and small-screen (his now-cancelled TV show The River might have had poor ratings, but there was something addictive about the it), he's starting to show a political side with this Chernobyl-based horror/mystery as well as his upcoming directorial project, Area 51. The first trailer might be a non-event, knowing this isn't a found-footage gimmick featuring an abundance of hand-held camerawork feels a bit refreshing. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Katie Featherston somehow factors into the events.

The Buzz: Harvey Weinstein imported this French box-office sensation while he was busy shaping The Artist's Oscar campaign. We've read some brutal reviews, dismissing the movie as racist and revealing that the true story upon which the film is based saw an Arab man taking care of the white nobleman. So expect some in-depth analysis from your favorite critics and bloggers while we wait to see if it becomes an issue-film or a non-event Stateside. I'm particularly interested to see how this plays with art-house audiences, who loved Omar Sy in Micmacs and François Cluzet in Tell No One.

Oslo, August 31st (2011) - [limited]- Drama
One day in the life of Anders, a young recovering drug addict, who takes a brief leave from his treatment center to interview for a job and catch up with old friends in Oslo.
Director:Joachim Trier |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: With all hyperbole intended: after a stellar debut film, Reprise, writer/director Joachim Trier puts forth one of the best second films with his meditation on the reality one faces after hitting a drug-addicted low. Equal parts somber and dryly humorous, and made relatable by Anders Danielsen Lie's lead performance, this is one of the most effective dramas of the year, foreign or otherwise. Currently, Trier is working on a script called Louder Than Bombs, which is backed by the production company that has made Little Children, Election and Little Miss Sunshine, so my eye is on what could be his English-language debut.

OC87: The Obsessive Compulsive, Major Depression, Bipolar, Asperger's Movie (2010) - [NYC]- Documentary | Biography
Director Bud Clayman documents his struggle with OCD and Asperger's Syndrome and how it derailed his plan to become a filmmaker.
|
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Bud Clayman's documentary offers a personal look at the serious effects of living with Obsessive-compulsive disorder and Aspergers syndrome, while keeping what appears to be a discernible sense of humor about his life as a family member, aspiring filmmaker, and sometimes isolated individual. He seems superheroic to me.
