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.
Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant's CEMETERY JUNCTION Teaser Trailer
Check out the trailer for CEMETERY JUNCTION starring Christian Cooke, Tom Hughes, Jack Doolan, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson, Matthew Goode, Ricky Gervais and directed by Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant.
I only recently found out about Cemetery Junction and when I heard Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant were involved, well of course I got interested. These two made such a great team on Extras and of course they were also both involved with The Office. So I am definitely expecting great things for this movie.
To tease us, they have just released a short video/trailer also featuring Ralph Fiennes. And although we don't see anything from the actual movie (they are still shooting it), it's pretty funny and now I'm even more excited to see Cemetery Junction. (Thanks to Slashfilm for finding the teaser).
Cemetery Junction will be released to theaters in 2010. Watch the teaser trailer below.
Cemetery Junction Synopsis: A 1970s-set comedy centered on three upstart professional men working at an insurance company.

Check out the trailer for COLD SOULS starring Paul Giamatti, Dina Korzun, David Strathairn, Emily Watson, and directed by Sophie Barthes.
After posting the poster for Cold Souls a couple of days ago, we get a trailer. And now I'm really excited to see this film. I'm planning on catching it at the LA Film Fest, so hopefully I'll have lots more to talk about soon.
Cold Souls Synopsis: Paul Giamatti plays Paul Giamatti in this idiosyncratic comedy in which soul extraction is a unique form of stress relief. He soon finds out that the side effects of "soul storage" can get absurdly complicated.
Cold Souls will be released to theaters on August 7, 2009. Watch the trailer and check out more pictures below.
