Movies Coming Out This Weekend August 7 2009

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."

I SELL THE DEAD Movie Trailer

Check out the trailer for I SELL THE DEAD starring Dominic Monaghan, Larry Fessenden, Ron Perlman, and directed by Glenn McQuaid.

I cannot believe that I haven't posted this until now, since I really enjoyed the movie (you can read my review here). But better late than never, right?! Plus this is perfect timing since I Sell the Dead will be released in NYC this Friday, August 7th and will be available on IFC On Demand starting August 12th.

It's definitely an entertaining movie that is different from what we have been seeing lately, and I think the trailer gives you a good idea of the tone it has. So watch the trailer below and make sure to check out I Sell the Dead when it comes out to theaters or on IFC On Demand.

I Sell the Dead Synopsis: The harrowing tale of Arthur Blake and Willie Grimes, two bumbling grave robbers embroiled in a series of adventures with the dead and not so dead, is told by Blake to a strange priest on the eve of his execution.

I SELL THE DEAD Review (LA Film Fest)

I am not a horror fan at all, but interestingly enough, I Sell the Dead was one of the movies that I wanted to see the most at the LA Film Fest.

I Sell the Dead follows the story of Arthur Blake (Dominic Monaghan) and Willie Grimes (Larry Fessenden), two grave robbers, who one day discover a body with a stake through its heart. Now unfortunately, Willie and Arthur have not been educated by pop culture and don't know that if you find a body with a stake in it, you just never remove it... This new "adventure" leads them to become dealers for the undead, in this very original and funny horror/comedy movie.

I Sell the Dead opens with Arthur confessing his "crimes" to a priest, Father Duffy (Ron Perlman). We then go back and forth between the story and the present in the prison. We learn about what lead Arthur to this point and all the crazy adventures he and Willie went on, as well as all the creatures they encountered along the way.

LARRY FESSENDEN Interview - "I Sell the Dead" Screening (LA Film Fest)

When I went to the screening of I SELL THE DEAD at the 2009 LA Film Festival, I got a chance to talk to Larry Fessenden who plays Willie Grimes in the movie. I do apologize for the sound, it's a little hard to hear him, but there were a lot of people around. Hopefully, you enjoy his interview anyway. (You can also watch our interview with Dominic Monaghan here.)

I Sell the Dead is directed by Glenn McQuaid and is sort of a comedy/horror film, about two grave robbers.
