Backseat -an indie that describes itself as a "coming of age late" story. Co-starring Donald Sutherland as himself. How about that?

Shotgun Stories -Michael Shannon (Bug, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead) adds another lowlife drama to his filmography in this indie about a violent rivalry in the South.
Flawless -Demi Moore and Michael Caine headline this thriller about a janitor and an executive who scheme to lift jewels. Speaking of flawless, this is Demi Moore out on the town in NYC the other day...
Dayum!

Would you have a beer with Phillipe?W I D E
21 -Kevin Spacey trains college kids (including frequent Spacey co-star Kate Bosworth) to count cards in Vegas in this high spirited drama.
Run Fat Boy, Run -Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz) is out to win the heart of Thandie Newton. He has to run a marathon to do it.
Stop-Loss -Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) directs this buzzy drama about soldiers who are home from Iraq for far less time than they imagined. Starring Ryan Phillipe, Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon Levitt (also starring in MNPP's "do, dump or marry?" series don'cha know --great fun). Co-starring Abbie Cornish and Victor Rasuk.

I really liked Stop-Loss, even though it tends to reduce the military characters into irretrievable basket-cases. It reminded me of a St. Elmo's Fire version of a war film, except without the elastic girdle (THANK GOD!).

Please don't give Hollywood any ideas re: spoof mivies. I can totally see them making Not Another Spoof Movie now. If they do, I blame you...
I saw Priceless on a Qantas flight to Australia in September. It's not particularly good or anything. I mean, the only reason to see it would be for Audrey Tatuou. If it had been in English and starred Kate Hudson, I never would have even bothered with it.
Oh forget about the films
it's all about that question :
Ryan or Channing ?
I think both.
I saw The Cool School at the Denver International Film Festival last November. It's worth watching not only for the story of the artists, but also in revealing what a small town L.A. has been.
Honey, I would have more than a beer with Ryan Phillipe!
I thought "Stop-Loss" was great. Too bad the critics meh-ed all over it.
