Must Watch List: August 2013

August is a great month for independent filmmakers. Here are the movies - ones I’ve seen and ones I look forward to - that are on my radar for this month. As always, check back for related posts on this movies as I make my way through them. 

*Note: some of this theatrical release dates are for limited release before it goest wide; all are US dates

“The Spectacular Now”

A very sweet romantic tale of beautifully flawed teenagers on the brink of maturity and currently my second favorite film of 2013. Starring Sundance 2013 Best Actor winners Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley and from the writing duo of Michael H. Webber (who I have been having very cool twitter exchanges with) and Scott Neustadter of (500) Days of Summer fame, it’s definitely one that shouldn’t be missed.

“Elysium”

It’s the (bigger budget) tale of the have and have nots, a follow-up to Neill Blomkamp's ult-world sci-fi drama District 9 that Matt Damon just happened to find his way into. Watch the trailer and read some of my trailer commentary here.

“Drinking Buddies”

Luke and Kate are co-workers at a Chicago brewery, where they spend their days drinking and flirting. They’re perfect for each other, except that they’re both in relationships. Luke is in the midst of marriage talks with his girlfriend of six years, Kate is playing it cool with her music producer boyfriend Chris. But you know what makes the line between “friends” and “more than friends” really blurry? Beer.

I love me some Jake Johnson and Ron Livingston so I’m so in (side note: If you do too, definitely keep the official Tribeca Film festival selection The Pretty One on your radar when it is (hopefully) released soon; both of these guys are also in it, and they are great). The trailer isn’t doing much for me but this movie was a huge hit when it screened at this year’s SxSW festival so I’m hopeful.  Drinking Buddies will have its theatrical debut August 23rd but you can catch it even earlier on VOD July 25th.

Sundance Film Festival 2013: Meet the Artists

Sundance starts tomorrow! Every year, the Sundance Institute posts videos of filmmakers discussing their films chosen to be screened for the Sundance Film Festival in their “Meet the Artist” series. I already highlighted a few of these director features for films I want to see at the festival. Here are a couple more videos from this Sundance series: 

Touchy Feely (starring Rosemarie DeWitt, Allison Janney, Ron Livingston, Ellen Page): A film about a massage therapist is unable to do her job when stricken with a mysterious and sudden aversion to bodily contact. Meanwhile, her uptight brother’s foundering dental practice receives new life when clients seek out his “healing touch.”

…and not necessarily one of my picks of the festival but an interesting one coming from Sundance alum, actress, and first time feature director Lake Bell:

In a World… (starring Lake Bell, Rob Corddry): A film about a struggling vocal coach who propelled by the hubris of her father, the reigning king of movie-trailer voice-over artists, musters the courage to pursue her secret aspiration to be a voice-over star. Unknowingly, she becomes entangled in a web of dysfunction, sexism, unmitigated ego, and pride.
