Thanks to our friends at /Film.
And thanks to the studio for continuing to market what’s most important about this upcoming film.
(bigger version right here…uh huh)
There’s a sweetness to Alice Sebold’s 2002 mega-bestseller “The Lovely Bones” that belies the story of a young girl’s brutal rape and killing. That same sweetness, so magnificently captured on the page, is missing from Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of Sebold’s book.
The best film of 2009 seems to be sliding too well under the radar. And we’re not sure why. Time to draw some attention to Tom Ford’s stunning directorial debut.
The film ultimately seems an exaggerated actioner, but perhaps the cast can help bouy it above being completely forgettable.
The average (sex) teen-aged boy thinks (sex) about sex (sex) every 7 seconds (sex). While this might be an old wives’ tale (like that one about hairy palms) you wouldn’t know it from Youth in Revolt. It’s a quintessential coming of age story revolving around sex, sex, and more sex.
Crazy Heart could also be known as The Wrestler: The Musical: washed up has-been tries to piece together a life out of a once-successful career while fighting addiction, trying to reconcile with an estranged child, and wooing a younger woman. But whereas Mickey Rourke played a wrestler, Jeff Bridges plays singer/songwriter Bad Blake and provides a soundtrack to his misery. Fittingly, his music is the music of pain: country.
“In order to be, like, legit Pandora people, you gonna have to, like, opposite bleach your skin, and dye it blue. But since I can’t afford that, I guess I’m just going to paint it blue for now. That doesn’t make me a wannabe!”
