A while back I got a chance to attend a screening for New York, I Love You, which was released to theaters today, October 16, 2009.
New York, I Love You is a collection of short films that all take place in New York and involve some sort of love story. It's the second episode in the "Cities of Love" series of collective feature films from producer Emmanuel Benbihy, following Paris, Je t'aime.
There are a total of 10 short films directed by Jian Wen, Mira Nair, Shunji Iwai, Yvan Attal, Brett Ratner, Allen Hughes, Shekhar Kapur, Natalie Portman, Faith Akin, Joshua Marston, and 11th director Randy Balsmeyer was in charge of all the transitional scenes.
Some of the cast includes Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha, Andy Garcia, Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Natalie Portman, Irrfan Khan, Emilie Ohana, Orlando Bloom, Christina Ricci, Maggie Q, Ethan Hawke, Anton Yelchin, James Caan, Olivia Thirlby, Blake Lively, Drea De Matteo, Julie Christie, John Hurt, Shia LaBeouf, Ugur Yucel, Taylor Geare, Carlos Acosta, Jacinda Barrett, Shu Qi, Burt Young, Chris Cooper, Robin Wright Penn, Eva Amurri, Eli Wallach, and Cloris Leachman.
I ended up liking New York, I Love You even more than Paris, Je t'aime. The stories were all really interesting and the actors were great.

DEFINITELY WATCH AT THE MOVIES
Where the Wild Things Are
Even though I have never read the book by Maurice Sendak, I have really enjoyed the clips from the movie I have seen so far, enough to get me excited to see it.
Where the Wild Things Are Synopsis: Maurice Sendak's classic book comes to the big screen in an adventure tale for every generation. Where the Wild Things Are follows the adventure of Max (Max Records), a mischievous young boy who is sent to his room after rebelling against his mother (Catherine Keener). Max's imagination is free to roam, and it soon transports him to a thriving forest bordering a vast sea. Delighted, he sets sail for the land of the Wild Things, where mischief reigns and Max rules. In bringing this imaginative fantasy to life, Jonze leads a team of filmmakers incorporating the most dynamic elements of voice performance, live-action puppetry and computer animation.
