Although this Summer's Blockbuster movies have been killing it (Best Summer in Years!) I'm still an indie girl at heart, and I wouldn't be doing this blog any justice if I didn't make mention to the little films that are hitting the big screens too.
Both are brought to us from over seas and both have been creating tons of buzz at film festivals...
First up, THE GUARD, starring Don Cheadle and Brendan Gleeson. "An unorthodox Irish policeman with a confrontational personality is teamed up with an uptight FBI agent to investigate an international drug-smuggling ring." Written and directed by John Michael McDonagh. If that last name looks familiar to you (to most of you it probably doesn't) that's because John is the brother to Martin McDonagh, the writer/director of one of my favorite movies "In Bruges." I'm really looking forward to this movie! If John is anything like his brother (which I'm hoping he is) then this movie is gonna be full of dry, sarcastic, rude humor...fingers crossed!
Next up, ATTACK THE BLOCK, starring Nick Frost and Jodie Whittaker. "A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion." Written and directed by Joe Cornish. Now I don't know too much about this film, but it's been popping up in every film magazine I read (Yes, I read film magazines...don't judge) and already has a huge cult following over seas. It looks like a fun adventure and I love that the cast includes some fresh face kids from London...
Both movies are in limited release today...enjoy :)
Just an analog girl in a digital world...
