Finally, after months of waiting, the Jacko-inspired Anna Wintour & the Chocolate Factory finally hits theatres and we strongly suggest seeing it at the IMAX, on Broadway at 68th St. For those of you embracing procrasination and wasting more time at work, have fun with the Trailer Crashers - The Wedding Crashers' promotional tool in which you can easily insert you and a friend in the trailer (last week we substituted Krucoff and Lockhart for Owen & Vince and we’re still mildly disturbed). Indie fans might be interested in heading to the IFC Center for Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, which follows folk musician Jim White in his strange South excursions, or the 2005 Asian American International Film Fest. And if you haven’t already, please go check out the riveting quad-rugby doc Murderball, which has quickly become our favorite documentary that doesn’t feel at all like a documentary.
