isn't coming out until JAN. What movies are BROKIES looking forward to seeing in the 2nd half of the year. I'm looking forward to seeing THE FOUNTAIN, a philsophical movie in which the character drinks from the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH and lives for many centuries. It's done by the same director who did PI and REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. Doens't sound like there will be any gay subplot, but sounds most interesting.

The website for the film is visually very intersting.
Anybody else have films there looking forward to in the Fall season?

I'm looking forward to Half Nelson, which I just read about for the first time this morning. Ryan Gosling plays a 30 something middle school teacher who is a crack addict by night... it's getting great reviews and I'm a big fan of Ryan Gosling. It's supposedly much less Stand and Deliver or Dead Poet's Society than it sounds...

I'm looking forward to "The Fountain," too. I love Darron Aronofsky's movies. And to "Little Miss Sunshine" with Greg Kinnear and Toni Collette (I'm going to watch it in spite of Steve Carell, honestly). My Entertainment Weekly "Fall Preview Issue" showed "Candy" as being released here in October, I think it is, so of course I'm looking forward to that one. "The Good German" also looks very interesting - I'm going to see that one in spite of George Clooney. I'm probably in a vast minority on this one, but I can't stand him. I can always see him acting and it bugs the bejesus out of me. But Cate Blanchett, Tobey Maguire (playing against type again, I understand) and Beau Bridges are in it, all of whom I *love*, and it was written by Paul Attanasio, whose feet I would kiss if I ever met him for writing one of my favorite screenplays ever ("Quiz Show") and directed by Steven Soderbergh. The similarly titled "The Good Shepherd" with Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie (and directed by Robert DeNiro) looks promising, too.

Little Miss Sunshine looks very good... it unfortunately hasn't gotten very good reviews however (not that that necessarily means anything)
I also love Darron Aronofsky... Pi is one of my favorite movies, I'll watch anything he does. This thread is the first time I've heard of fountain.
Is it too early to say I'm looking forward to Spiderman III? Kiersten Dunst aside, I love Spiderman and the comics with Venom are some of my favorites, when I saw the movie had Venom in it I started to re read them all...

Little Miss Sunshine IS good, even better than I expected. And I predict that those of you who can't stand Steve Carell will like him in this.
Besides Candy, which I'm looking forward to/dreading (because of intense subject matter), here are four films that sound good to me (click on each to see more):
The U.S. vs. John Lennon (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=11057)
49 Up (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=14691)
Fast Food Nation (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=14387)
Running with Scissors (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=10698)

I didn't know they were making a movie of fast food nation... that should be interesting, the book was amazing. The only problem is, I know the book came before the movie Super Size Me, but wouldn't the two films be kind of similar? Oh well, I'll be interested to see how they do it.

My understanding is my beloved Joseph Fiennes plays a gay character in Running With Scissors. I'll be most interested in seeing that - I haven't seen him in anything in a long time, and haven't much liked him in anything since "Shakespeare in Love" and "Elizabeth."

Maggie Gyllenhaal is starring in a film entitled Sherrybaby next month. Tells the story of a former drug addict (Gyllenhaal) whom gets out of prison and tries to get her life back in order starting with regaining custody of her young daughter...looks really good!
-
The Black Dahlia starring Hilary Swank and Josh Hartnett looks good too! I love Hilary Swank!
-
And I am REALLY excited for Clint Eastwood's Flags of our Fathers...

I saw the preview for it, and it isn't a documentary, it's got actors (Greg Kinnear for one). I got the sense that it's a dark comedy. Interesting, hunh?

Speaking of Maggie, her movie Trust the Man also looks good. It costars Billy Crudup and Julianne Moore... limited release the 18th, wide September 8th.
