The National Board of Review has named Another Earth one of the top ten 10 independent films of 2011. Alongside indies such
as Take Shelter, Win Win, and Beginners, among others, we’re in very good company.
A huge thank-you to the filmmakers and Fox Searchlight for making it all happen!
Another Earth comes out on DVD today, and it’s the perfect gift for the humanoid in your family. Or even your other you. Get it now, before you go ahead and buy it for yourself and then have to regift it back to yourself (this whole “There’s two of me/you” gets old and/or confusing pretty quickly when mined for laughs..)
The Funcom game The Secret World has released some new screenshots. (You can also register for updates.) I’ve posted on this before. No word yet on the release, but it’s looking pretty
darn cool and out there. My character is kind of a gatekeeper to a special park. I can say no more!
Citizen Gangster, about the infamous Canadian bank robber Edwin Boyd, and whose director won an award at the Toronto Film Festival, has found U.S. distribution. (See my post on the film.) The very highly regarded distributor IFC picked up the rights. Release date tbd.
When I was a student at Notre Dame — so long ago that there was not yet a need for “Return to Glory” — the campus sometimes felt, with a 3-1 ratio of guys to girls, as otherwordly…and not in a good way.
So, even if the ratio has evened out a lot, I suppose it’s appropriate that I’ll be back on campus on Nov. 4 for a screening and Q&A of Another Earth, given that our football fortunes now feel, well, you get the point. Tickets for the journey are now available.
