On DVD and In Theatres- "Colour Me Kubrick"

A new film from independent filmmaker Brian Cook is apparently being released on DVD and in movie theatres this week! The trend which seems to be a possible nightmare for theatre owners was started by Stephen Soderbergh when his film "Bubble" was released in late 2005. "Colour Me Kubrick" is playing at the Landmark E Street Cinema in Washington and the Galaxy Cinema in Cary, NC (Raleigh). The film details the life of Stanley Kubrick impersonator Alan Conway, who is played in the film by John Malkovich. "Film Comment" editor Chris Chang is calling the film: "a perversely entertaining docu-fare." Chang adds that anyone who has the 'slightest reservation about Malkovich's mannerisms' should perhaps avoid the film. But, Chang adds that the film is a delightful insight into what people will do for fame. The film was also given a thumb's up from mainstream film critic Stephen Hunter of "The Washington Post." He called the film a unique look at how movie obsessed the world has become. The movie is based on a real person who did in fact impersonate the director of "A Clockwork Orange" and "Dr. Strangelove........."
