Just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to David Cronenberg for completely rescuing 2005. If his latest film
A History of Violence is any sign as to the quality of the fall/winter movie season to come it's going to be an incredible year after all.
Go see it! Review will be up soon (hopefully)
Oh my God, Nathaniel! I swear you made my day! An A!!! That's like... I know you're extremely demanding with your films so this is definitely something special. And to me (and a lot of people, I can assure you that) your opinion means more than a thousand critics! Thank you!!! Now I have this on my top To-See list! I knew this had potential!
ReplyDeleteAwesome to hear. So, if we use previous years as an indication, that like guarantees a top four placement, right *(don't worry - you don't have to spill yet :D)
ReplyDeleteAlso, Tsotsi has a studio now. The Weinstein-less Miramax.
Arkaan -since this year has been so crappy i'm less secretive than usual. I absolutely can't imagine that it won't be one of my best picture nominees.
ReplyDeleteoh and Javi, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHow you gon' rub it in that A History of Violence hasn't opened in Hartford yet? I am weary with longing, and envy. ;)
ReplyDelete*sigh of relief*
ReplyDeleteAm so glad to see a well-deserved "A" next to the title of Croenenberg's latest masterpiece. It was the best film I saw at the Toronto film festival. Can't wait for your review, Nathaniel.

Yaaaaaaay. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's odd but knowing Nath liked it makes me want to see it even moreso than knowing if 100% of critics like it.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
(But will it play to Oscar?)
-Glenn
well now i have to see it! like i was going to miss a Croenenberg film.
ReplyDeleteer, is it wrong that I've only ever seen The Fly. Oh, and 5 minutes of Spider!

I agree. It was amazing to watch the audience's response to various elements/scenes of violence throughout the movie. The evolution of emotional reaction provoked throughout the film is telling---this is much more simple plot line to write home about.
ReplyDeleteDamn blog that makes us know that Mr. Rogers has adored A History of Violence and makes wait for the review.
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad to know that there is some special film to watch.

Wow...and A from Nathaniel...such a rare 'gift' for a movie...this means I had better see it...I'm sure AHOV is much much better than the dreadful Corpse Bride, which is nothing more than a weak incarnation of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAnthony, don't count Maria's chicken's 'til they've hatched.
ReplyDeleteCronenburg isn't exactly known for getting anybody involved with his films nominated. And I think we can all agree that Academy has snubbed many a worthy perf before.
