'Dirty Girls'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Since MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE came up again, I'll just chime in that ita's thought was exactly mine. When Shaw says "I'm one of the bad guys", it's because he already knows he's going to use Ben as an assassain (and for his own suicide).
I was curious if someone had made that suposition too.
That was pretty much how I saw it, Frankenbuddha.
Did Godsend play in the theatres? I must have missed it. Because there's no way a movie with De Niro can go straight to video, right? But a De Niro movie coming out and me not noticing -- also unlikely. I'd have thought.
Did Godsend play in the theatres?
Yeah, for a few days. It was even a wide release.

Wow. That's rough.
At least he has Meet The Fockers coming up.
I saw the Meet the Fockers promo at The Bourne Supremacy last night.
It was definitely one of the better trailers. I also saw a slightly changed trailer for Collateral that includes Jamie Foxx-Jada Pinkett Smith footage and overall seemed to emphasize the Foxx over the Cruise. Interesting. Also, there is this clip in a disco where for no reason you can tell in the context of the trailer Tom Cruise makes this face? I and my friend both laughed outloud.
And Cellular looks much more like one of those very complicated ads for a phone service than an actual movie.
And what did I learn from The Bourne Supremacy?
Karl Urban moves very beautifully.
Also - car chases = boring.

The poster I saw made me do a double-take. It's like Clive Owen's BMW movies in reverse.
I liked the chase in Bourne. It's no Ronin, or anything -- but I liked it.
The largest impact that Cellular has on me is to remind me to turn my phone off.
I just read that 6'2 Christian Bale dropped down to 120 pounds for The Machinist. That's going to make it extra hard to watch.
Yikes. That's gonna be painful to see and I don't want to think about what it's done to his metabolism.

God, that was amazing. Gives me chills everytime I see it (much like The French Connection).
LIked the Bourne car chase, too. Didn't mind the length at all. Was pleased to see Urban without funny hair and armoured shoulders--now all that's left is to see him in a movie where his principal expression isn't--well, constipated.
