I think that the big question with Funny Games is whether it is actually worth watching the remake instead of just renting the original, considering that they both share the same director. But I have little doubt that this will make fr a very good, if somewhat disturbing, film.

The word coming out of Toronto is that Juno is excellent. Having just watched the trailer, I totally believe it. Seems like the type of off-beat family comedy that can be truly funny and still have a heart.

Consider me sold.

I’m cautiously excited about Youth Without Youth. Coppola is undoubtedly one of the greats, but he hasn’t worked in a long time and it’s been a while since he really hit one off the park. So I’m hoping that it will be a return to form, but I’m not getting my hopes up too much before I see some truly great reviews.

The trailer itself simply doesn’t show enough to allow for any kind of opinion. I love getting a taste of the movie, but I’ll need a lot more in order to get more or less excited.
