Aye Aye, Robot
Pirates of the Carribean meets Disorderlies. Aye Aye
Robot stars Will Smith, who anchors this tale of a
tough but tender sea captain and his crew of robotic
first mates as they explore the oceans of 2035. When
the captain insists on remaking old sea shanties as
hip-hop jams, a robo-mutiny ensues. Co-starring Jenna
Malone, Christopher Plummer, and Redman.
Collateral
Tom Cruise visits the bank to apply for a loan.
Just After Sunset
Having run out of shit to talk about, Ethan Hawke and
Julie Delpy share a peach tart in a Parisian
cafe, while taking 87 minutes to complete the day's
Jumble. The movie unfolds in real time.
Explosive Mussolini
From the producers of Napoleon Dynamite...
Benito Mussolini, everyone¹s favorite 20th Century
dictator (better luck next year, Pol Pot!) lived with
his older brother in 1982, when he attended high
school, tried to sweet talk girls, and doodled
pictures of himself riding unicorns in his diaries.
One afternoon following his only friend's poorly
attended birthday party at Round Table Pizza, Benito
has an incredibly powerful and noxious case of
diarreah.
The Other Notebook
An amiable old man brightens the day of an
Alzheimer's-striken woman not by reading her a story
about two star-crossed young lovers, but a series of
equations from his high school Algebra class. Like
Good Will Hunting, A Beautiful Mind, and
other
Hollywood entertainments that feature mathematics as
an undercurrent, no attempt to explain any aspect of
mathematics are made in this film.
Still Bourne
When last we saw amnesiac Jason Bourne (Matt Damon),
he had outwitted a number of evil CIA assassins and
his own past as an international agent to be with his
girlfriend on an exotic and unknown foreign island.
Thoroughly bored by the lack of activity on the remote
island, Bourne concocts elaborate prank phone calls,
whereby he rings indifferent former co-workers and
breaths heavily into the receiver, just to let them
know he still exists.
