Atom Egoyan's new film Adoration concerns a young man who turns a provocative homework assignment into a controversial, public exploration of his parents' (possibly intentional) death in a car crash. The Village Voice's Scott Foundas has this to say: "Inspired by a classroom translation of a news article about a Jordanian man who attempted to blow up a commercial airliner with a bomb hidden in his pregnant girlfriend's luggage, the boy claims the story as that of his own deceased parents—a lie that quickly goes viral and takes on even more bizarre dimensions when the teacher (for reasons Egoyan holds close to the vest for most of the running time), disguised in a face-covering burka, pays a house call on her student and his blue-collar uncle (an excellent Scott Speedman).
"Never short on ambition, Adoration has no lack of interesting things to say or interesting ways to say them, but the longer it runs, the more you feel Egoyan working up a sweat to deploy the same effects—Pinterian abstractions, fractured timelines, shifting points of view—that he once made seem effortless. The end result is a movie considerably more absorbing to talk, write, and think about afterward than it is to actually watch."

just saw ST today before the super nerds. it was stunning. i like the fact that spock gets jungle fever.
Without Shatner as Kirk, it isn't Star Trek.
damn, the shows are sold out. :(, live long and prosper bitches.
I hate it when a director's Pinterian abstractions come off as forced.
I saw it last night. So good.
I just saw it at the Pavilion on Prospect Park and there the theater was still a quarter empty.
Weird for a Friday night opening of something like this.
Actually, I was kind of disappointed. This movie looks like a Long trailer for a new star trek series with the love struck Spock. Also without Shatner it isn't star trek. The movie was ok.
