A Great Rental and One to See in the Theater



The World's Fastest Indian

This movie with Anthony Hopkins is a great movie for anyone who loves to see interesting, quirky characters. It is based on a documentary filmed from 1971 about a man named Burt Munro. This guy is a kick! He is from New Zealand and wants to break the world's record on his 1920's Indian motorcycle. It is an inspirational feel good movie but also a great film. It should have won a lot of awards last year, but went unnoticed. Anthony Hopkins' performance is brilliant! The cinematography is breath taking. Rent it!
Also, watch the documentary from the 70s in the special features section. It is beautifully shot and you can see the real Burt!



A Scanner Darkly
Coming to Theaters July 7
Have you missed Winona Ryder? Robert Downey Jr? Woody Harrelson? Keanu? Me neither. Okay, maybe Robert Downey Jr, but I am sure you have seen those commercials that look as if they are shot on film but after a moment, you realize they are animated. Well, this film is the same deal. Very cool to look at, mind boggling. A Scanner Darkly is supposed to be a fantastic independent film (only because it is so non-traditional). And if you are looking for cheap thrills, people are making a big deal over Winona's topless scene in this flick. Bet your running out to get your tickets now ;)

Anyway, check out the trailer and let me know what you think.
