As we all know, The Dark Knight launches on Thursday with thousands of midnight screenings. Most of us won’t be making it to those packed house viewings, so we all have to wait for Friday night. Then most of us who have a IMAX theater nearby, will have to wait Saturday or Sunday to see it on the exclusive IMAX since it’s sold out now for it’s opening weekend in MANY of these IMAX theaters. So…why is Mama Mia coming out on Friday? Well, if you’re an idiot and didn’t pre-purchase tickets this week, YOUR Dark Knight will be sold out, and now you’re stuck with MAMA MIA?
So, why a Mama Mia mention on a LIMITED RELEASE WEDNESDAY??! Well, most indie companies were smart not to release any new releases…BUT ONE, JUST ONE, does come to mind that should be a must see to break away from blockbuster madness!
TRANSSIBERIAN – Screenwriter/Director Brad Anderson (The Machinist, Session 9) returns to film, after trying his hand at television (Surface, Masters Of Horror). Transsiberian tells the tale of an American couple riding a Tran-Siberian train from China to Moscow. Emily Mortimer, Woody Harrelson, Kate Mara and Ben Kingsley star in this thriller that Brad Anderson promises won’t be as comedic as the 1973 film “Horror Express”.
MY HONEST OPINION: I have seen most of Brad Anderson’s work and have enjoyed the majority of it. The stellar cast is enough to get my rear in the theater. PLUS! This film is playing the Angelika! A film on a train, the Angelika…huh? I think you know what I mean!!! Friggin brilliant. You can’t ask for more. If you don’t get it, GO see this, and see it there!
That’s really it this week for Limited Release Wednesday. This is a new section of our blogging in which we will take care of you and list the new indie films that will be coming to LA and NYC. Expect to see some of them making their rounds nationwide in other indie-cinema outlets.
Well, enjoy the Dark Knight, and SEE IT ON IMAX!
