- This reviewer over at AICN didn’t seem to be a big Joey Laruen Adams fan, but he LOVES her film “Come Early Morningâ€, now showing at Sundance:
Come Early Morning – ****
The most shocking thing about this movie is that it is written and directed by Joey Lauren Adams who you have seen in most of Kevin Smith’s films. While she might always play a dumb blonde in most of her roles, this film is brilliant and insightful. The acting by Ashley Judd is top notch and I loved her character. This is a great and powerful film about women that all women (and men) should see. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
- Notable on DVD this week: “The Aristocratsâ€, a documentary featuring multiple re-tellings of the world’s dirtiest joke, features View Askew alums George Carlin, Carrie Fisher, Chris Rock, and John Stewart. Also on shelves, “My Big Fat Independent Movieâ€, which spoofs the indie genre, features the voice of Jason Mewes.
- A News Askew reader was the lucky winner of Jason Lee’s decorated Grolsch beer bottle auction that we mentioned here last month. The final price was $207.50, beaten out only by Donald Trump and Jeff Gordon. Check out the photos as proof!
- Retro View Askew hockey lovers: Popular deal-a-day website woot.com runs a special today on controllers you can hook up to your TV to play those classic video hockey versions, like you see in Mallrats and Amy. We believe the one sold here (NHL 95) is the one that was used in “Chasing Amyâ€. The prior year, 1994, was showcased in “Swingersâ€, by the way.
- And finally today, “My Name Is Earl†fans…Seems one fan has given Earl his own Myspace account. We don’t think it’s official, but it’s a fun read if you’re a fan of the show. Catch ya next time!
