Blue Valentine gets an NC-17 rating

Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams are starring in a new drama that has just been slapped with a NC-17 rating. The film has made its debut at several film festivals already including Sundance, Toronto, and Cannes and has even been receiving a bit of Oscar buzz.

Some are questioning if the film is truly deserving of the NC-17 rating. These days, not many movies get rated higher than “R,” but could the rating deter fans from watching? Word on the street is that the movie only got this rating because of a scene in question in which the male lead pressures his girlfriend.

I can’t remember any other NC-17 movies off the top of my head, but from what I’ve heard of this movie, I’m not sure if it all adds up. Chances are, I’ll still make my way to see it in theaters regardless.

Daydream Nation

The new film Daydream Nation, starring Kat Dennings will premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. The trailer definitely is quite mysterious, but what you need to know is that Kat plays 16-year old Caroline Wexer who relocates to a new city with her widowed father. She’s having an affair with one of her teachers at school, but has a guy on the side who is also in love with her. That’s not a very good synopsis, but you make do with the trailer you have.

Sorry.

*****

But seriously, here’s a synopsis:

Only sixteen years old, Caroline Wexler (Kat Dennings) is facing a teenager’s nightmare: her widowed father has moved from the city to a tiny, nowhere town where the major tourist attraction is an industrial fire that seems destined to burn forever and everyone under the age of nineteen is permanently stoned. Concocting new ways of getting high is a major hobby for most of Caroline’s classmates, including the lovelorn Thurston (Reece Thompson), who falls for Caroline the minute he lays eyes on her. And then there’s the minor inconvenience of a killer running around the neighborhood. What’s a girl to do but start an affair with the most available teacher at school?
