I've fully intended on writing about film in this blog. So far, I've been uninspired. First, it's been a lackluster summer. I saw Spiderman 3 in May and it was such a bitter disappointment that I wrote off the summer film season right there. Also, cooking school took my attention away from the big screen. Finally, I've been reading nonstop so that's been another distraction.
There is hope though. Fall is always the best season for film. I just glanced at my latest EW, a fall preview issue, and it brought a thrill to my heart.
New films from Ang Lee, the Coen Brothers. A real Jodie Foster film (not Flightplan or Anna and the King Jodie). A Daniel Day-Lewis film. An Elizabeth sequel. Tim Burton's version of Sweeney Todd. Sean Penn's adaptation of Into the Wild. A Ridley Scott film with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. An indie starring Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Yes, I think that will make up for a lame summer at the show.
