I sort of recognized Jim Beaver, and I knew it was someone from Deadwood, but I had to check the cast list to be sure. He was quite good.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
Despite knowing, in some sense, that Jessica Chastain was in the movie, I completely did not recognize her, between the hair color and the accent.
Me neither! She just vanished into that role.

I thought it was Jim Beaver, but I wasn't positive, and it took me a long time to be sure because I realized I'd never heard him speak with a non-Southern/Western accent. I started to hear the Beaver in his voice after a while and felt more confident it was him, and the credits confirmed it.

I have to be honest: The Night Before does not look like my type of movie at all...but it has Anthony Mackie and JGL. Damn it.
In case anyone wants to save $15 tonight, don't bother with Spectre. It's awful.
Friend of mine said he couldn't review Spectre because it was so boring he couldn't remember what happened. So, I fully expect my movie-watching friend* will want to see it next weekend.
\*The friend I usually go to the movies with. Not the only friend who watches movies.
I'm going to see it next week as part of a work gathering. At least it's at a theatre that serves snacky food and booze.
That's too bad, I was liking the ads. Not that I have had any success in getting to a theater, but it was on my list of movies I might try to see.
Still working on getting to The Martian and Crimson Peak.
