2008 - What films will you see ?
Reply to Topic
(copied from my post on summer releases)
10,000 B.C.
Roland Emmerich is a true genius, and a spectaculair blockbuster director. Looking from the trailer, the effects look awesome, backed up by a good enough premise.
The Wackness
I am a big fan of Ben Kingsley since I have seen Schindler's List, and very under-rated in You Kill Me, also with Josh Peck from one of my favorite shows, Drake and Josh? I'm in!
Choke
Getting great reviews at Sundance and being based off a book written by the man who wrote Fight Club? I'll buy the 1st ticket!
Smart People
Juno's Ellen Page in a new movie with the great Dennis Quaid? Heck yes!
Burn after Reading
Joel and Ethan Coen writing/directing Oscar nominees George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, and John Malkovich? Intresting premise? I'm going to go!

ANYway, there are some great movies with even better Kingsley, and since you didn't mention them I don't know if you've forgotten about 'em or just haven't seen them. Sexy Beast is amazing and he was robbed of the Best Supporting Actor Oscar that year (Jim Broadbent won for Iris). Don Logan is a character you will never forget. He is frippin' fantastic as the proud and stubborn Behrani in House of Sand & Fog. I think he's just as great in Polanski's Death and the Maiden as the man who may or may not be Sigourney Weaver's former torturer. And damn Without a Clue is a fun little movie that has been forgotten but needs to be rediscovered, with Ben's brilliant Dr. Watson foiled by Michael Caine's egotistical and relentlessly stupid Sherlock Holmes. And I believe he was in a little something called Gandhi.
He appears in some out and out crap too, but even in a horrid film he's often magnetic and totally believable on screen.

You Kill Me was OK, and Ben is by far the best thing about it and a reason to rent it, but it never quite kicks into a higher gear. As far as hitman comedies, it's simply not on the same level as flicks such as Grosse Pointe Blank and In Bruges. It just ain't. But the opening scene with Kingsely shoveling the snow off his walk like only an alcoholic can, that alone makes it worth the price of a rental.

James Bond 22:
Al Pacino cast as the leader of the terrorist group.
Now tell me that doesn't make you want to go and see it.

IMDB Quantum of Solice page
Al Pacino's IMDB Page
IMDB staff checks the cast and his credits, don't worry
also they are filming, and I think a big role like that would be cast
after a google search I did find a page here and it says

Now take this whole thing with a huge grain of salt because there is no proof or official word,

Fair enough.
Considering I read it on MX (A paper they make so you're not bored on Melbourne's train system) I may have jumped the gun a bit.
Sorry, Lennon.

I know, I saw.
I understand, I figure it can only get better :P
Should be a good movie though, Daniel Craig was excellent in Casino Royale.

also there is
I am curious to see how the people from We Own the Night will handle a romantic-drama. Plus Gwyneth Paltrow, is amazing to look at
and a damn fine actress.

Nah, it was Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.
Vinnie Jones is Big Chris and the kid is Little Chris.
Or something.
That was a good British gangster movie.

My apologies for the double post, but another movie I want to see is Rendition.
Called "the perfect movie" by one of either Ebert/Roeper?

I still don't think it's out here.
Or maybe it is, and I'm lazy.
Either way, definitely on the DVD list.
