Things Are Looking Up.

It was a crap summer at the movies. Oh sure, Friends With Benefits and Crazy Stupid Love offered a surprising zing of romcom polish, and The Help got folks worked up, and … you know, I can’t remember any other movies from the last three months off the top of my head? Either Summer 2011 tanked, or I’m getting old. (Let’s not rule out either of those.)

Anyway, autumn rocks. Check out New York Magazine’s breakdown of 50 fall releases worth getting excited about. I wouldn’t say I’m equally pumped about all of them, but come on: Ryan Gosling at the wheel for Nicolas Winding Refn in Drive? Cronenberg and Mortenson reunited for A Dangerous Method? Tilda Swinton in We Need to Talk About Kevin?

Eat your heart out, Summer. See you at the movies.
