Douche Bigalow, Movie Whore
There's a movie that just came out called Junebug. It was directed by Phil Morrison, whose previous credits include episodes of "Upright Citizens Brigade" and "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" and its cast includes Ben McKenzie (star of "The OC") and Amy Adams (the girl in "Catch Me if You Can"). It's a film about North Carolina, made in North Carolina, by a North Carolinian (Morrison was born in Winston-Salem).
But can you see it in North Carolina? No. At least not yet.
Apparently, the heads of Sony Pictures Classics decided to "try it out" in cities like NYC and LA, even though this film obviously deserves to be shown in venues other than ones in big cities, especially after Roger Ebert gave the film four stars.
So, while the New Yorkers are off enjoying a film tailor-made for North Carolinians, we here in Greensboro are stuck with "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" and "The Dukes of Hazzard." And where the f*ck is Broken Flowers, the new Jim Jarmusch film starring Bill Murray and Sharon Stone? Or The Aristocrats? Uggghh...
See the trailer for "Junebug" here.
