As shown here, Valhalla Rising is an intense ride with Mads Mikkelsen in a commanding performance as the Viking One-Eye.

Valhalla Rising is currently screening at the 2010 International Film Festival Rotterdam (official listing) and definitely recommended if you are there. Also be sure to check the interview I did with Nicolas Winding Refn if you haven’t already.

Youth in Revolt (2009) – The Daily Movie Wallpaper – Nick & Vijay

Sunday, January 10, 2009

After big launches in 2009 at the AFI and Toronto International Film Festival, Youth in Revolt, is now out in US theaters. It’s a fun, rebellious coming of age movie that is one of the first must see movies of 2010. This also marks breakout performances by Adhir Kalyan (who will be starring in upcoming high school stoner comedy, High School) as Vijay Joshi and Michael Cera as his alter ego, Francois Dillinger. Kalyan brings what normally would be a one dimensional role to life and in many instances nearly steals every scene that he is in. With Cera as Dillinger, he finally gets to blaze (and does so extremely well) past his lovable outsider characters to one that is much more cultivated, dark and nuanced.

If you are in Austin this is currently showing at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz Downtown (info) where you will see a hilarious 30 minute pre-show for it that you won’t get anywhere else. Also be sure to check out Rodney’s review (here).

Mother was Tim League’s favorite film of 2009 (full list) and Rodney Perkins #5 favorite (full list). I’ll be doing the first ever Cinema is Dope best of list later this week for 2009 and I can tell you that this film will also rank high in my list. I had to camp out almost 3 hours before it started at Cannes Film Festival 2009 just to see it due to its enormous interest there. By the end as the credits rolled it was like the audience didn’t know whether to cry, applaud, hug each other or just let out a resounding, “OHMYGOD!” It was an incredibly powerful film and movie going experience I won’t soon forget, especially up on a big screen with a fresh audience that had no idea what they were in for. I’m shocked this has yet to screen anywhere in Austin yet but it looks like with Magnolia Pictures releasing it, we can be sure that a screening at the Alamo Drafthouse will happen at some point in the near future.

I’m beyond excited that one of the best films of 2009 is coming out relatively soon now on home video! I urge anyone that is a fan of the film to hop over onto Twitter and tweet why you think Sam Rockwell should be nominated for Best Actor and be sure to include the hashtag:
