Now Playing (In Only Five Words)

...from least screens to most. Just 'cuz. And because I'm in a Dogme 95 sort of mood, I've imposed a limitation on myself to describe these films in 5 words each, based on their trailers.

Choose Connor Pimply. Political. Smarmy. Tortured. Gay?
Fall of Hyperion Meteors! Cheap. Has-beens. Cable. Gay!
Good Dick Well, duh. Quirky. Independent. Ritter-ific.
Ice Blues: A Donald Strachey Mystery Again? Why? Shoestring. Gay-faced Hunk.
Nights and Weekends Soundtrack Free. Navels Observed. Heteronormative.
Saving Marriage
Religious Bigots Vs. Determined Homosexuals.
Lola Montes (this is a reissue of the 1955 classic) Eye Candy! Costumes. Opulence. Bliss.
Happy-Go-Lucky Vera Drake's cheerfulness sans miserabilism?
Breakfast with Scot Gay. Gayer. Gayest. REALLY GAY.

Two Tony Leungs: Chiu-Wai and Ka Fai in the all-star cast
of Wong Kar Wai's Ashes of Time

Ashes of Time Redux
Colorful contemplation. Both Tony Leungs!
RockNRolla
Violence. Bare Chested Scenery Chewing.
Talento de Barrio Guns. Rap. Too Many Edits.
Billy: The Early Years of Billy Graham Vanilla. Beige. Bill Maher Puking.
Sex Drive 2,635th version of this movie
The Duchess
(it's been out for 3 weeks but... expanding by a 1000 screens) Wigs. Candles. Adultery. Clenched Jaw.
City of Ember
Golden Compass Complicated? Murray Miscast?
Quarantine Paranoid. Derivative "Found Footage"? Sweaty.
Body of Lies Betrayal. Ugly Haired Machismo. Syriana-esque.
The Express (adding 2000 screens) Glossy Inspirational / Interchangeable Sports Bio.

Keira Knightley in the J-Horror remake The Wig That Ate Devonshire
