The Bagger and Sundance: The Carnival Moves On

... Morris Agency and the film “The Messenger” were still cooking as well. The gig for “We Live in Public” was live as well. And here’s the thing. With many of the people who had no reason to be here like, say, Paris Hilton, pulling out, the conversation among folks who remained focused on movies of all things. In no particular order, here’s a partial list of the movies that the Bagger heard chatter about: “Amreeka,” “Sin Nombre,” “In the Loop,” “Adventureland,” “An Education,” “Cold Souls,” “Humpday,” “September ...
Sundance Review: Adventureland
Cinematical —
... Adventureland is and isn't everything I expected it to be. First off, no matter what the trailer may show you, this is in no way Superbad, circa 1987 -- so get that out of your head now. Adventureland is, instead, a sometimes subtle dramedy that's more touchy-feely than it is funny.

Whaddya Think: 'Adventureland' Red Band Trailer
Cinematical —
Back when I saw Adventureland at Sundance, I tried to make it known that this flick wasn't Superbad, despite the fact that it's directed by the same dude (Greg Mottola) and that the studio insists on selling it as "the next Superbad". That said, I definitely do like this new red band trailer, which pokes fun at the whole red band trend by pointing out the reasons why we like to watch these foul-mouthed, R-rated promos in the first place. And if you watch this new trailer for Adventureland, you'll ...
