Your summer vacation time may be ending with school, work and responsibilities on the horizon, but there is still one more way you can get away — with the latest trailer for the Brit-com “We We Did On Our Holiday.” The movie looks like a rosier, and more English version of “Little Miss Sunshine,” but shame on me for pigeonholing it too soon. Starring former "Doctor Who" David Tennant, upcoming "Gone Girl" star Rosamund Pike and Billy Connolly, the story follows a couple and their three kids who head for the Scottish Highlands for a grandfather's birthday, all while trying to keep a secret from the rest of the family. But as they'll soon learn, its the children who could let the cat out of the bag. The film opens on September 26th in the UK, with no word on U.S. distribution at this point. [Digital Spy] »

Not bad for a movie budgeted at $170 million. With an A-grade CinemaScore, and a quiet month of competition ahead, if 'Guardians' holds steady, it has a strong chance of cracking the magic $250 million domestic, which no other movie has done yet this summer so far (though 'Age Of Extinction' is on its way). In short, this is a huge opening, »

Cobra Verde’s Last Stand

In the great tradition of tormented artist iconoclasts, Werner Herzog has never reconciled his obvious affection for quixotic rebels with what their quests often represent: the imposition of the might of the few upon the weaker masses. Herzog’s aware of this irony, and his refusal to smooth over the fascist implications of his grandest dreamers’ dreams is one of the wellsprings of his art’s complexity and of its principle. The filmmaker’s only pivotally fallen from this tonal tight-rope once, and the result was Fitzcarraldo, one of his most beloved movies. »
