Cinematical’s Indie Calendar

Daily lol – Cinematical runs down two indie movies opening this week:

INDIE THEATRICAL RELEASES

Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? hits about 100 theaters today after playing at Sundance and South By Southwest, among other festivals. It’s Morgan Spurlock’s attempt to summarize the War on Terror, and Cinematical‘s James Rocchi reviewed it favorably at Sundance

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a documentary about how people who believe in evolution are big meanies who don’t understand why “Intelligent Design” (i.e., that God made everything) should be taught in science classes, too. Somehow the teacher from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is involved. The people distributing the film have been very careful not to let any critics see it, going so far as to require preview audience to sign nondisclosure agreements. You know it must be a great film when the only way you’re allowed to see it is if you promise not to tell anyone about it — anti-word-of-mouth. I almost don’t even want to mention it here, except that it is an indie film and it is opening in several hundred theaters today. So there you go.
