Craig Baldwin's Mock Up on Mu premiered here last fall in the New York Film Festival's avant-garde sidebar; the found footage/original action mash-up is now screening in a week's run at Anthology Film Archives. J. Hoberman at the Village Voice calls it "a modern American myth fashioned from all manner of cultural detritus, notably the prehistory of the sci-fi religion Scientology...This mocking 'mock-up' is a mixture of conscious and unconscious primitivism—as though Ed Wood Jr. had attempted to film a script by Thomas Pynchon about a script Pynchon secretly wrote to be adapted by Wood."
A rather lackluster batch of new movies are being dumped this week, which is okay because so many must-sees opened around the holidays that there's plenty of catching up to do. (Gran Torino, The Wrestler and Waltz With Bashir, for starters.) Anyway, click the images for more on this week's stinkers.






people criticize Gothamist for the shoplifter story yet the movie Notorious about a drug dealer, gang banger, high school dropout will most likely sell out this weekend. sick society
I have Hello Kitty band-aids just like Paul Blart.
I just got a hello kitty toaster Jen, it's great, i make toast just to see her little face... which is way more entertaining then say, wasting money on these lousy movies.
Def. agree with the catching up on the "good" movies out there.
FOX is the distributor of Notorious. Even the trailer stinks, and the trailer usually highlight the best parts of athe movie. blah

I wonder if the actor playing Puff Daddy will also jump around like some fame-whoring cricket in "Biggie's" videos.
I remember the "Sugarhill gang"
Were they not ht hip hop group?
Oh for the early 1980's I was old
even back then.
This film (good or bad) will make money
especially in Europe & Asia where when
they see American's on film thye get
terrified of us a little as a keeper
of Atomic weapons.
The Japanese like to see African-Americans
so that they don't ever have them in their
backyard,if you know what I mean.
i saw MB3D, it was really fun in 3D but the movie sucked. nothing like t he original! also people walked out.
