Yeah Cronenberg's approach to violence has been the best out of any Hollywood director out there in the last decade. It's brutally effective I think.

Agree wholeheartedly on the superiority of Eastern Promises when it comes to Viggo films. In fact I feel like rewatching it right now. Naomi Watts IMO is one of the top ten best female actors currently in the industry.

Why is 127 Hours getting such a limited run? Are they trying to build hype and release it wide in December to get more hype for Oscars or something?

EP includes viggo mortensen, naomi watts, and vincent cassell, all three of whom need to be in more movies more often. i didn't know cassell was in BLACK SWAN until i just checked what's upcoming for him, and the fact that he got to work with aronofsky is super cool.

ha, I'm completely indifferent towards that film. Very, very little interest.

huh, so was I, but I had free time yesterday..... and I loved it! This might be one of the only movies that I have paid twice to see! :lol

It sucks that reviews are calling the plot unoriginal, and comparing it to The Incredibles and Despicable Me, specially since the only thing in common with TI is the fact that there are superheroes and with DE the fact that the villain sees the error of his ways, but is done in a very different way. It makes a fun of superhero films, SPECIALLY Superman (
the Jor-El immitation was hilarious
:lol )

I was really surprised that I liked it so much, the preview doesn't really do it much justice.

It is one of my favorite animated movies, up there with How to Train Your Dragon and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs!

They're all getting their good share of work. Mortensen was in The Road and is coming in another Cronenberg movie where he plays Sigmund Freud. Cassell had some trilogy that recently came out (french films) where he plays a serial killer, and like you mentioned Black Swan.

Haven't seen much of Watts lately though sadly :/ But that Fair Game movie is coming out. Looks good.

yeah, i definitely meant cassell and watts more than mortensen, who seems to get plenty of work in movies i want to see. cassell actually makes OCEAN'S TWELVE a really entertaining movie for me, among other things. for all its faults, i always think, ". . . but the night fox! vincent cassell!"

my Unstoppable review.

unstoppable.jpg


For their fifth outing together director Tony Scott pairs Denzel Washington with Star Trek star Chris Pine in this high-octane, low-impact adventure. Through his nonsensical ADD approach, he derails our characters in favor of capturing the barreling villain. We have no deranged criminal like John Travolta in his last blockbuster, Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 . Our enemy is a train with no brakes, filled with the toxic chemical molten phenol headed for a number of obstacles. Evocating Jaws on a track, this force has no intentions other than to destroy what is in its path, creating a unified motive for the audience to get involved. Our script from Mark Bomback (Live Free or Die Hard, Race to Witch Mountain) makes for a tight thriller, but it is our tired director that constantly devolves this story to the lowest common denominator.

I'm surprised they didn't just give it a nationwide release. It has the star power.

It doesn't necessarily have the mass appeal though. It's a hard sell concept.
Anyway, word of mouth is going to build a lot as a result of the slow roll-out, so by the time it opens nationwide it should be able to pull more than it would have if it had gone wide from day one.

Was pretty mindblowing when I found out the first name of his... should have put the 2-and-2 together... not too many other SUNY Buffalo people on this board.

Saw The Fighter earlier tonight at AFI Fest and holy shit Bale was good in it.

Mark my words, Christian Bale will take home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

GAF'S PRODIGAL SON HAS RETURNED

I know a lot of GAF are not keen, but I loved Crash. Munich and Capote were very awesome too, it was a tough year for Best Picture, I think Crash is the best of the three.

Brokeback Mountain is better than Crash, and Munich wipes the floor with both of them.
