Long-anticipated, the film reunites series stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson under the direction of series creator Chris Carter, who co-wrote the screenplay with Frank Spotnitz. In grand The X-Files tradition, the film’s storyline is being kept under wraps, known only to top studio brass and the project’s principal actors and filmmakers. This much can be revealed: The supernatural thriller is a stand-alone story in the tradition of some of the show’s most acclaimed and beloved episodes, and takes the always-complicated relationship between Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions. Mulder continues his unshakable quest for the truth, and Scully, the passionate, ferociously intelligent physician, remains inextricably tied to Mulder’s pursuits.

American Teen skates some thin ice with its documentary ethics but, in the end, presents a charming and stylish (if packaged) tale.

American Teen is the touching and hilarious Sundance hit that follows the lives of four teenagers – a jock, the popular girl, the artsy girl and the geek in one small town in Indiana through their senior year of high school.

We see the insecurities, the cliques, the jealousies, the first loves and heartbreaks, and the struggle to make profound decisions about the future.

Filming daily for ten months, filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes, The Kid Stays in the Picture) developed a deep understanding of her subjects. The result is a film that goes beyond the enduring stereotypes of high school to render complex young people trying to find their way into adulthood.

In the film, Charles Ryder (Matthew Goode, Match Point, The Lookout) becomes entranced with the noble Marchmain family, first through the charming and provocative Sebastian Flyte (Ben Whishaw, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer), and then his sophisticated sister, Julia (Hayley Atwell, Cassandra’s Dream and the upcoming The Duchess). The rise and fall of Charles infatuations reflect the decline of a decadent era in England between the wars. Academy Award-winner Emma Thompson co-stars as Lady Marchmain.

AUGUST

Two brothers try to keep their start-up financial company afloat on Wall Street during August 2001, the month before 9/11. source

We had the opportunity to attend an advance screening and here is our movie review. Josh plays a dotcom millionaire who falls hard after the internet bubble bursts at his company Landshark.com. We think the story would have worked better if the story arc showed more success and balanced it with the Land Shark CEO’s failures. Josh Hartnett fans won’t be disappointed if they want to see some Josh beefcake. Josh is shirtless several times in the movie to show off his tattoos and even has an intense love scene. Josh also flashes some skin when he’s bending over to prepare dinner for a date. Josh has several monologue scenes to show everyone he has got the internet startup lingo down. We recommend this film if you want to watch Josh Hartnett and have to see his movies. However, one of our favorite Dot-umentary films about the internet bust was the documentary “Start Up.Com”. This fascinating cinema verite movie directed by Chris Hegedus and Harvard alum Jehane Noujaim follows the birth and failure of new media company govWorks.com. What works in this film is we cared about best friends Kalil Izaza Tuzman and Tom Herman. Unfortunately, there aren’t any likeable characters in the movie August for anyone to feel compassion for when the company is bankrupt. Click here to read the full movie review.
