Intriguing Preview Corner: Dogtooth

Well, I'm not really sure what to think of this preview, but it certainly fits the word Intriguing.

Thoughts?

Opinions?

Gonna go see it?

Intriguing Preview Corner: Boardwalk Empire

If HBO is anything, it is a guaranteed place for some quality original television. The Wire, The Sopranos, Sex and the City (stay tuned to this site for a comprehensive analysis of this show coming soon!), Deadwood, etc. Now we have a new show, Boardwalk Empire, and it looks quite intriguing. Major talent from The Sopranos and Scorcese directing. It also has Gretchen Mol, a personal fave, starring.

Plus there's Omar! So many reasons to check this show out.

Intriguing Preview Corner: Parallel Lines

Boing Boing brought this film to my attention. In it five filmmakers make five radially different films using the same dialogue. What does this say about movies? Is the script that inconsequential or that open to interpretation? This contest, for which I am currently working on a submission, raises the same questions. The only stipulation, other than the time limit, is that the script remain the same. How should one analyze this idea that the script is such an incidental part of movie-making? Or are these just gimmicks?
