Trailer – Lars and the Real Girl

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

We’re big fans of Ryan Gosling here at the ATTIC and we are truly impressed by his bold choice of next film, Lars and the Real Girl. Gosling plays a delusional and lonely young man whose family and friends are shocked when he introduces his new girlfriend… a blow-up doll he ‘met’ on the internet.

Judging from the trailer, this is another typical indie heart-fuelled comedy with strong, heart-achingly real characters (except the doll). That’s a good thing in our books.

That oscar will be Gosling’s yet.

Trailer – Be Kind, Rewind

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

The master of oddities, Michel Gondry teams up with Jack Black and Mos Def to bring us Be Kind, Rewind. The premise behind this is simply superb. A man (Black) accidentally magnetises and wipes all the VHS cassettes in his friend’s video-store and the two decide to re-make all the lost film’s for the store’s most loyal, ageing customer.

From Ghostbusters and Robocop to The Lion King and Driving Miss Daisy, their films swiftly makes them the most popular guys in their neighbourhood. Be Kind, Rewind just made it to my personal list of films I can’t wait to see. This trailer is a MUST SEE!
