Another Stunning Clip

'Let The Right One In' continues to shape up to be a must-see.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

I like this interview from All Things Considered today. Scroll for additional audio and clips from 'Synecdoche, New York'.

Changeling, Code 12

Here's a clip from 'The Changeling'.

Gran Torino

What can you say? Eastwood still has a commanding presence. Poster is very good. Have no idea what the plot details are (and will not look into it in advance), but something tells me this movie will deliver. 

ps - Oh. One more thing. If I look that freaking good at 78 (holding a crutch let alone a rifle) I'll be happy.

Let The Right One In Clip

NYT has an exclusive clip from 'Let The Right One In'. Scene has that delicate subtle layering that, for the most part, Hollywood isn't able to produce. I don't have high hopes for the remake that's underway.

JCVD

I can't believe my eyes. Is this the best thing I've seen Van-Damme in? Does this drama actually have a spine? Could it be?

Watchmen

The 'justice will be served -- no matter what' motif is pretty hard to resist, hmm...

It's...Um...Like...'Special'

One totally cool trailer. Here's the poster:

Apparently, this has been sitting on the shelf since 2006 and will finally be rolling out November 21 (2008).

Funniest Thing I've Seen In...

How can this movie not score at the box office?

Let The Right One In -- Red Band

Rotten Tomatoes has the red band trailer for 'Let The Right One In'. I'm not sure if this trailer is any different than the most recent one. I think it's got maybe a couple seconds more graphic stuff but I can't be sure without checking. Rather than doing that I'm just posting it. I like this picture that much.

The Haunting. The One In Connecticut.

Apparently based on a true story. I've heard of the haunting in Massachusetts, but not the one in Connecticut. Will have to check this one out on disc.

Franklyn

It will be interesting to see whether the execution matches the conceit. I get the feeling this one may be a tad too ambitious.

First 7 Minutes Of Standard Operating Procedure

Yahoo has the opening seven minutes of 'Standard Operating Procedure'. It's fair to call this riveting stuff. I found this excerpt from the documentary more compelling than the vast majority of Hollywood movies. You can get it on DVD tomorrow.

Defiance Keeps Looking Better

The first trailer for 'Defiance' was a historical glimpse, introducing us to the Bielski partisans, a group of over a thousand Jews who survived the Nazi purge by hiding in the forest of present-day Belarus.

The new trailer is a more emotional look at what must have been a mix of courage and desperation that was needed to attempt something so dangerous and nearly impossible to accomplish.

I think this movie will draw an audience. Release is scheduled for mid-December and I wouldn't be surprised if 'Defiance' was still in theaters doing good business in January. For some reason this one seems like it will have legs.
