Is this going to be better than the barely mediocre Burn After Reading? It doesn’t matter. I will fork over money every time these guys make a movie because they’ve rarely let me down.
A Serious Man is a black comedy set in 1967 and centered on on Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg), a Midwestern professor who watches his life unravel when his wife prepares to leave him because his inept brother (Richard Kind) won’t move out of the house.

For those of you curious about the fate of Bobcat Goldthwaith’s pitch black comedy World’s Greatest Dad you may rest easy. It’s received a limited theatrical run starting August 21st. No cities have been announced yet, but if you live in major market and are lucky enough to get it in a theater near you, rush to see it. If you need a quick refresher, the movie stars Robin Williams as a father who covers up the accidental death by auto-erotic asphyxiation of his son by faking a suicide note. Which is later reprinted without permission and becomes a major hit nationally. Williams has had his ups and downs over his career, but I always think he’s at this best in small films like this.

This Bleak yet endearingly sweet black comedy debuted at TIFF this year to a lot of buzz. Until now there had been no trailer for the film to be found. Well here it is in all it’s glory. It contains a few minor spoilers, but damn it it’s worth it. The film has been picked up by Canadian distributors but not yet in America. Ummm, could someone make that happen please. Soon.
