Jared Hess is cutting his new film at my friends production studio here in the SLC. This is going to be a riot.

The amazing James Marsh documentary of the 1974 High Wire walk between with Twin Towers by Frenchman Philippe Petit has just been given the amazing honor of breaking the Best Reviewed Movie of All-Time on RottenTomatoes.com scoring a perfect 100% from 129 reviews and previously held by Toy Story2.

Movie Trailer.

Some pretty amazing still shots of the Twin Towers in their prime.

I was looking forward to going down the street and seeing Kevin Smith’s new flick “Zack and Miri make a porno,” but it doesn’t look like that’s happening this weekend.

If you’re looking forward to seeing Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks in director Kevin Smith’s new R-rated comedy “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” this weekend and you live in Salt Lake City, you might be out of luck. Utah Jazz and Megaplex Theaters owner Larry Miller has refused to book the film. The chain’s spokesman Cal Gunderson expressed concerns about the film with The New York Post, citing the film’s “graphic nudity and graphic sex” and that it was “too close to an NC-17.”

The company’s standards seem a little odd considering that the chain had no problems screening ultra-violent fare like “Saw V,” which features beheadings and explicit self-mutilation. When asked why Megaplex Theaters did not object to the gory horror sequel, Gunderson had no comment.

Hmmmm, this looks kind of promising. For all of the Layer Cake junkies, the Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrel fans, here is a documentary on a true to life British crime family headed up by the man formerly known as Dominic Noonan. Here is the synopsis from the A Very British Gangster’s website:

A Very British Gangster is an all access film inside one of Britain’s most dangerous crime families. For the first time, a gang of contemporary criminals open their lives to reveal a brutal world and an underclass which relies upon gangsters for justice, rather than police.

The film follows the trials and tribulations of Dominic Noonan over three years, as he lurches from criminal trial to criminal trial. Dominic, head of the Noonan crime dynasty, a second generation family of Irish stock, legally changed his last name to Lattlay Fottfoy, an acronym for the family motto; ‘Look after those that look after you, fuck off those that fuck off you’.
