i'll chime in for War, Inc.; of much less interest, but still notable, Surfwise
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

Yeah, right now War Inc. is leading the field it seems.

Please, please, please review War, Inc. I had the distinct pleasure of being raped by its awfulness at a special screening at Ryerson University a couple months back. John Cusack was there and everything. Wow. What an atrocious film. To give you an idea of how terrible this film is: imagine a film twice as socially, satirically, and comedically ambitious as Southland Tales, which fails about five times as hard as Southland Tales. What a glorious misfire. All I could think about when it was over was how awesome a review by you guys would be. I kind of hope it'll be a case where Matty loves it and you hate it. Maybe it'll be as amazing as The Battle of The Lake House.

I just know War Inc. is going to be banal. What about: The Promotion, My Father, My Lord, Bigger, Stronger, Faster, Reprise, Encounters at the End of the World, Stuck, or Sangre de mi Sangre

I'm assuming you guys reviewed The Happenning for this upcoming show.

The Edge of Heaven? Foot Fist Way? Operation Filmmaker? I don't know what's playing in your area.

This almost makes me want to see it.

What about just saving The Happening until next week.  Otherwise a movie I would recommend is The Strangers.  It is a really effective psychological horror movie.  Also Capone liked it and Scott Smith raved about it. 

Other Possibilities:
The Promotion
Reprise
The Foot Fist Way
Chronicles of Narnia
My Winipeg
Baghead
Quid Pro Quo

I think I know what the upcoming show's poll question should be?

I'd rather they save the Hulk for the next week, I have a pretty good idea what that's going to be like, but no idea whether to see The Happening in the next week.


I think an indie roundup would be in order: Reprise, Surfwise, Bigger Faster Stronger, Stuck, etc.
