Save yourself some time and expense and rent the original "Stepfather" w/ Terry O'Quinn (Lost). It's pretty good and scary. I saw NY I Love you at the Filmfest and it sucked with the exception of Robin Wright Penn. #wherethewildthingsare
Shouldn't the fact that Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman wrote and directed two of the "New York, I Love You" segments be a greater Cause for Concern? Anyway, the powerful suck comes across loud and clear even in the Spanish-dubbed trailer.
I love how they chose to relocate the premise of the original ("Paris, Je T'Aime"), which for the most part registered as a series of after-hours commercials paid for by the French Board of Tourism. Well, except for the Alexander Payne segment. Which was genius: #wherethewildthingsare
Having only seen still pictures, I honestly thought "Stepfather" had Penn Badgely as a young man who marries a cougar and becomes a stepfather. Now, I find out it's just another teenage boy who is mad at his mom for having a boyfriend. Oh well.
As for "Law Abiding Citizen" . . . there is no court of law in the U.S. that, if they have evidence, would allow a killer of a child to go free or make any sort of agreement with him. Maybe I'm not understand the premise of this movie. And, besides that, Gerald looks blotted and Jamie looks nasty!! He really needs to do something about those black lips; perhaps stop smoking!!
I think "Wild Things" will be an initial hit but will fade badly once parents find out how dark and depressing it is.
In other words, nothing to see this weekend. Perhaps later in the year there will be some good movies out. #wherethewildthingsare
@mslewis: "Law Abiding Citizen" (Subtitle: "Can I Get a Hyphen for $400, Please?") sounds like it could turn into a fun drinking game once it comes out on DVD. Whiskey shots all around every time something absurdly implausible comes up on screen!
That's been the sole appeal of "Angels & Demons" for me. Scientists at CERN wear white lab coats? Drink! "Antimatter bomb" could actually explode and obliterate the world? Drink! You can rip a page from a priceless 15th-century manuscript stored at the Vatican Library and walk right out the door? Drink!
