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.

2009′s Sundance Films You Need To See # 3: World’s Greatest Dad

dave — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 14:37:27 +0000

World’s Greatest Dad is the story of a father (Robin Williams) who fakes a suicide note for his son who accidentally dies due to auto-erotic asphyxiation. The film, directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, is a comedy of the darkest variety. There are no trailers available as of yet, but I’ll be sure to post one as soon as they are. I don’t know about the rest of you but after 1991′s Shakes the Clown I knew Goldthwait had a great film in him somewhere. Shakes, while ridiculous and uneven, is still one of my favorite dark comedies. The film currently has no distribution, but with the rave reviews it’s getting it shouldn’t be long.

*Williams is usually his best in little films like this.
