Alan Ball Courts Controversy with TowelheadBy deciding to stick with the brash title of the novel upon which it's based, the moviemakers behind Towelhead grabbed people's attention and have yet to let go. The movie, which will get a limited release this Friday, September 12, 2008, and a wider release September 26, stars newcomer Summer Bishil as Jasira Maroun, a 13-year-old Arab-American struggling with both the overbearing parenting of her father and the sexual advances of her much-older neighbor (played here by a supremely scummy Aaron Eckhart). Check out the trailer, which oscillates from humor to heartbreak and back again. September 10th, 2008 |

Harry Potter Gets Darker (And Delayed)By now the news has been reported far and wide (as any Harry Potter news is wont to do) that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie will be seeing a July 2009 release date instead of its originally scheduled November 2008 date. After watching this trailer, the delay becomes even more unfortunate as it looks like this will be the film that transports the franchise from the family-fantasy genre to the more adult horror-fantasy realm. There's really some Shining-level creepy kid action going on here. August 27th, 2008 |

Steve Coogan Makes Shakespeare Cool in Hamlet 2Hamlet 2, which fetched a cool $10 million at Sundance, stars the always-funny Steve Coogan (24 Hour Party People, Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story) as a inappropriately unaware high school drama teacher whose latest production is a raunchy and irreverent sequel to the classic Shakespeare tragedy.
