Wondering what movies are coming out to theaters this Friday, August 7, 2009? Here is a list with our recommendations (which you can take or leave, it's up to you).
DEFINITELY WATCH AT THE MOVIES
Cold Souls (Limited)
I really enjoyed Cold Souls and so if you're in the mood for something different you should check it out. You can also read my review here.
Cold Souls Synopsis: Is your soul weighing you down? Paul Giamatti has found a solution! In the surreal comedy COLD SOULS, Paul Giamatti plays an actor named... Paul Giamatti. Stumbling upon an article in The New Yorker about a high-tech company that extracts, deep-freezes and stores people's souls, Paul very well might have found the key to happiness for which he's been searching. But, complications arise when he is the unfortunate victim of "soul-trafficking."
COLD SOULS Review

I love discovering movies that are not targeted to a mainstream audience, that make you think, that have original stories, and that are fascinating to watch. These are the reasons I love going to film festivals, because you discover movies you would have never seen otherwise.
That's sort of how I feel about Cold Souls. The movie tells the story of an actor, named Paul Giamatti (played by Paul Giamatti of course), who decides to literally store his soul because he can't deal with it anymore. This of course leads to some really absurd, but really funny scenes. But that's not the whole story. Something goes wrong with the storage, which leads Paul to go on a journey both physically and mentally.
Cold Souls is a character study film with a very slow pace, although not in a boring way. It is definitely not going to appeal to everyone one, but I found it to be a breath of fresh air.
