Sam Rockwell
Poltergeist movie review: they’re here (remakes, that is)
If you have any inclination to see this, just rewatch the original. You will lose nothing, and you’ll have a far better time.
Say When (aka Laggies) movie review: resisting the path
Charming and off-kilter, this is a rare tale of a young woman struggling with her identity in a way that deals a shock of recognition and never apologizes.
The Way, Way Back review: how to escape from your family
One of the more achingly poignant stories of awkward (male) adolescence I’ve seen. Sam Rockwell steals this movie more than he has ever stolen a movie before.
Seven Psychopaths (London Film Festival review)
Bursting with equal parts exasperation, despair, cultural criticism, and black comedy…
Seven Psychopaths (trailer)
“I almost got killed today because you kidnapped the wrong dog.” I cannot wait to see this.
Cowboys & Aliens (review)
Holy shit, Indiana Jones and James Bond are fighting frickin’ aliens. This is a geekgasm. Or it should be. But it isn’t.
Source Code (review)
If you haven’t already seen 2009’s Moon, I beg you to do so before you see Source Code, which will put you off director Duncan Jones, which wouldn’t be fair to you, to Jones, or to Moon.
watch it: “Sam Rockwell (as Chuck Barris) dancing”
I need cheering up, and this makes me giggle. (It’s from Sam Rockwell’s screen test for the role of Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.)
trailer break: ‘Conviction’
It must be awards season, when the studios are dragging out all the Incredible True Stories and the casts full of Oscar winners and nominees.
