The Cinema Eye Honors, my favorite awards ceremony after the Indie Spirits, has released the nominations in eleven categories with Louie Psihoyos’ The Cove racking up a total of seven nominations .
A trio of films from last year's batch (Nowhere Boy, Never Let Me Go and The Debt) that effectively received a greenlight, and are now in the can, and in the list's inaugural year, Grant Heslov's Men Who Stare at Goats was the top vote-getter.
That director R.W. Goodwin can pull some of these scenes off, regardless of how predictable they may be, without playing it as satire or parody shows how much of an honest homage Alien Trespass is to the monster and sci-fi films of the 1950s.
Looks like the IFC folks and filmmaker Armando Iannucci are making the most out of a Tribeca Film Festival showing, supporting the movie early on with some poster art eye candy (retro fit) which eventually comes out July 24th.
Apart from the world premiere of Michael Cuesta's Tell-Tale and one more festival screening and chance to shine for Hirokazu Kore-eda's Still Walking, the selections are comprised of unknown projects, New York-based film productions that were completed in the last year, a bunch of films that receive a May theatrical release anyways and a batch of better than average films that were showcased at Sundance.
