Gothams Have Bite

Good luck tomorrow night to Jess Weixler at The Gotham Awards! Jess is nominated for Breakthrough Actor for her unbelievably awesome performance in Mitchell Lichtenstein's TEETH! She's already bagged a Special Jury Prize for acting at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and hopefully tomorrow night will make it two-for-two. Roadside is beyond psyched to be opening Teeth on January 11th, 2008. Here's the trailer to tide you over 'till then. You've been warned!

Starting Out In Theaters

Starting Out In the Evening, Andrew Wagner's masterful literary drama starring Frank Langella in an award-worthy performance (and it's not just me saying that. Just ask Roger Ebert and Lisa Schwarzbaum), opens today in New York and Los Angeles. Check out these rave reviews from The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly and New York Magazine. Then round up friends, family, co-workers and any nearby Academy voters, and hit the theater to check out one of the year's most acclaimed films and performances.

Colma Comes Holma (sorry)

Rich Wong's and H.P. Mendoza's groundbreaking, Spirit Award-nominated Colma: The Musical hits DVD shelves today. Be sure to rent, queue, or (best of all!) PURCHASE, the The New York Times' Critics Pick they call "an itty-bitty movie with a great, big heart."

Muchos Gracias!
