The week of neverending screenings is almost at its end…although now there’s talk of DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS on the weekend.

Actually, there was a small wrench in the plans this week as I never made it to IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE due to some deceptively inclement weather. Gonna have to make do with renting it instead. Then again, if last week taught me anything, it’s that I should check the TV listings for the next week…as it’s entirely likely that the moment I go rent this sucker, I’ll flip past IFC and find myself fifteen minutes in.

Such was the case last weekend with BOTTLE ROCKET.

By the way – is it just me, or is there precious little coming out in the month of August that looks any good? Something tells me that my summer of hitting up the art house theatres isn’t letting up anytime soon. Enough grumpiness for one week. As I put the final touches on the next Matineecast, let’s look at what my brethren are up to.

For your reading fulfillment, I give you…

Tonight I’ll be watching the second part of The Vengeance Trilogy. As fate would have it, Groovers & Mobsters have dedicated a post to the whole series!

Congratulations to Fletch for the Oddest Top Five Ever.

In all the talk of Christopher Nolan lately, I’ve noticed that INSOMNIA tends to get almost mumbled as an afterthought. Thus, it’s good to hear someone like Jake at Not Just Movies give it some props.

Wunderkind Sebastian Gutierrez has been hosting an event dedicated to all things Jo-Go. Here’s his entry on my favorite of the man’s movies, BRICK.

The girls are back. After a gap just long enough to work anticipation into a fever pitch, Forager, 1416, Nerd Vampire, and The Final Girl have returned with the second episode of Some Cast it Hot.

Enjoy!
