Like, Nat and other Oscar guessers constantly talk about movies with Oscar pedigree that are just expecting awards and so forth (Memoirs this year for starters) but I thought All The King's Men was a much worse case.<BR/><BR/>I mean, at least Memoirs hasn't been on the screen before. And it's actually sort of a risky venture (not to make western audiences sound racist but haven't there only been, like, 2 all-asian films to gross more than $50mil - Crouching Tiger and Hero). All THe King's Men is a remake of a Best Picture winner with that cast that just screams FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION!<BR/><BR/>I mean, I'll end up seeing it and i'm sure it'll do good with the Oscars when it is released but it smells fishy to me.<BR/><BR/>-GlennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1130027810584075482005-10-22T20:36:00.000-04:002005-10-22T20:36:00.000-04:00Hmm...despite my reluctance about this film's Osca...Hmm...despite my reluctance about this film's Oscar possibilities, I'm disappointed to see it disappear.

I'm so happy! This movie just was not exciting me AT ALL. As much as I love the cast, it just screamed LOOK AT ME. And I'm glad that Sean Penn will be out of the Best Actor race. Hopefully that will tighten the possibility for someone like Heath Ledger or even Cillian Murphy to solidify a spot. <BR/><BR/>But all along I have been saying that I wasn't feeling this movie wasn't going to eventuate into much (especially Sean Penn for Best Actor) so I feel slightly justified."<BR/><BR/>And while it may indeed go on to a BP nod next year, still doesn't mean it's not troubled. only The Hours out of those three you listed was actually any good.<BR/><BR/>-GlennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1129878532099873102005-10-21T03:08:00.000-04:002005-10-21T03:08:00.000-04:00Oh but All the King's Men is most DEFINITELY in tr...Oh but <I>All the King's Men</I> is most DEFINITELY in trouble. I've actually seen it and I can vouch for the fact. It's an absolute mess. It's edited very poorly and the book is too big and sprawling for the movie for some reason (I mean, they did it in 1949, right? How hard could it be?) Frankly, I think the problem is mostly direction. The material just sort of languishes up there on the screen. Patricia Clarkson is used solely as comic fodder in an otherwise very somber tale and her scenes seem out of place and mostly unwanted in such a serious piece. Jude Law is good, but I have to confess that Kate Winslet, though fine in the role, plays an underwritten, difficult-to-understand character. It's almost impossible to relate to her or to comprehend any of her motives throughout. Ditto Mark Ruffalo. I say it's a mess. Really. I've been looking at those predictions on your site for weeks and expecting no good news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
