Year: 2008
Director: Irena Salina
Plot: Irena Salina directs this feature length documentary about the industry and consumption of mankind's most precious resource: water. As African villages survive on potentially toxic water supplies out of sheer necessity, Salina explores how the corporate structure has come to control humanity's water supply, and how politics and grassroots humanitarian organizations both fight and support the increasing privatization of water that could have dire consequences for so many. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

Really though, there's only one movie opening this week that matters. Burn After Reading will kick ass. I will be seeing it shortly after my work week ends on Friday and I can't wait.

Body: Waa-hooo! This Friday we are officially delivered from the movie release Dead Zone! Let Oscar-bait season begin!FEATURES1. Burn After Reading -- New Coen bros. movie this Friday! Does the trailer for this dark spy comedy remind anyone else of the dark stoner/detective comedy The Big Lebowski?Brad Pitt and John Malkovich are both interviewed about the film on SpoutBlog.And there's a Recast The Big Lebowski contest you're all welcome to join in the Filmgaming group. The swag we're giving away would go great with a bathrobe.2. Righteous Kill -- Robert Deniro and Al Pacino do the bad cop/bad cop routine.This could be...(a) a supremely awesome, double-espresso shot of testosterone, a la Michael Mann's Heat. Or this could be ...(b) a blown opportunity on the level of The Score (remember that extremely forgettable movie with Deniro, Marlon Brando, and Ed Norton?) Unfortunately I'm expecting Righteous Kill to be closer to option (b). Director Jon Avnet is no Michael Mann. His most recent film 88 Minutes starred Al Pacino, was in theaters for about half an hour, and barely got a kind word spoken about it. There's some hope for Avnet, though -- the first film he directed was Fried Green Tomatoes.3. Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys -- Of all Tyler Perry films, this one looks most interesting to me. Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard are long-time friends and the matriarchs of two seemingly different families: Bates' family is wealthy and WASPy, while Woodard's family is working class African American. The families experience similar crises, including extramarital affairs and unethical business practices.I haven't seen any Tyler Perry movies. Any fans out there that could recommend a film to start with?4. Christmas on Mars: A Fantastical Film Freakout Featuring the Flaming Lips -- (limited release) This sci-fi flick is the directorial debut of Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne. The story: it's Christmastime on Mars. When the community's life support system begins to malfunction, one man on the repair team begins to hallucinate about the birth of a baby. The Lips provide the music and each band member plays a role.I'm far from a die-hard Lips fan, but this sounds incredible! The film sounds like a natural (but inspired) progression from creating rock operas like Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. I'd enjoy seeing more rock opera movies. Are there any films you guys would recommend? I was disappointed by Tommy, and I haven't seen Pink Floyd: The Wall (I only like about half of the music on The Wall). If you guys haven't watched The Wizard of Oz while listening to Dark Side of the Moon, I highly recommend it.Here's the trailer for Christmas on Mars: 5. The Women -- This contemporary remake of feminist comedy drama The Women (1939) stars Annette Bening, Candice Bergen, Jada Pinkett Smith, Meg Ryan, Eva Mendes, and Debra Messing. The story begins when the most-envied of the women discovers her husband is having an affair with a shopgirl. With smaller roles played by Bette Midler, Cloris Leachman, and Carrie Fisher, this movie has as many stars as The Thin Red Line.Has anyone seen the original The Women? The remake is being called gossipy and bitchy-wisecracking; do you have any other bitchy-wisecracking favorites?DOCUMENTARIES6. Flow: For Love of Water -- (limited release) Presents how corporate privatization of water is adversely affecting many around the world. 7. Moving Midway -- (limited release) When Raleigh, NC man Charlie Cheshire decides to relocate the historic buildings of the Midway plantation, white Raleigh residents are outraged at the idea of moving their beloved symbol of the Old South. This is contrasted by the perspective of another branch of the Chesire family--the descendants of the slaves who were owned by the white Cheshires. The two branches of the Cheshire family meet on camera, which would be very interesting to see. Here's the trailer:

Body: On Monday, I’m flying to Denver to spend a couple of days hanging around the Democratic National Convention before heading up to Telluride on Thursday. If I was reading that sentence unawares, two questions would inevitably come to mind. First: “Why, Karina, are you going to a political event when you have a movie blog to write?” Answer: there actually are two major film events happening over the three days that I’ll be in town. The first, the Denver Film Society production Cinemocracy (previously mentioned here), will screen ten finalists in a short film competition that’s been winnowing down submissions online for months. You can watch the films and vote for your favorites here. The second event is the Impact Film Festival. Founded this year by Jody Arlington, Jamie Shor and Kimball Stroud, IFF will screen “socially-themed documentary and dramatic films” every day at both the DNC and RNC. Films on the program include Battle in Seattle, I.O.U.S.A., and Flow. Check out the Bside page for info on the full lineup. The second question is a bit trickier. “So, by covering one convention and not the other, aren’t you showing political bias? I don’t read your stupid little movie blog to hear you tell me who to vote for. WTF, Longworth?” There are several reasons why I’m covering the DNC and not the RNC. For one, there’s simply more to do, film-wise, at the DNC. For another, I have to fly into Denver on Thursday to get to Telluride anyway––coming a few days earlier in order to be there for a quadrennial event seemed like a no-brainer. And finally, all things being equal, I’d actually love to go to the RNC, but it can’t because it overlaps with both Telluride and Toronto. I can understand how, if you really want to believe that I’m playing favorites, all of the above will just look like excuses. But all I can do is tell you honestly that I really still have no idea who I’m voting for (I’m not crazy about either Obama or McCain), and that I’ll be heading into this experience with my usual blend of voracity and skepticism. I’m honestly less interested in the activities of the Democratic Party than I am in the injection of film and celebrity into politics in a more general sense. If you have questions, thoughts, or suggestions of approaches/specifics for the coverage, hit me up in the comments. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » Karina Longworth
