Touching Home
I just read this book by The Miller Brothers about the making of their indie film, TOUCHING HOME, starring Ed Harris (not to be confused with Stealing Home or Coming Home). I’m not sure when the movie’s coming out or if it’s any good, but you can’t help but admire the chutzpah of these guys going all out to get their movie made. You can feel the hope and desperation at every turn.
The only thing I don’t like about their story is the film’s title. It’s an aesthetic thing. I don’t care for any title that begins with the suffix “-ing” — e.g., Finding Forrester, Searching For Bobby Fischer, Teaching Mrs. Tingle…but that’s my problem.
The Hangover Gets Hung
I don’t have HBO anymore, but I can almost see bucking up for HUNG. That Alexander Payne guy knows what he’s doing!
From the man who brought you Sideways, About Schmidt, and Election, here’s a short film he did for Paris Je T’aime.
Oh yeah, and The Hangover has gotten a lot of love, too — especially from Mike Tyson.
When Larry Met Woody
These guys seem perfect together, but the reviews for WHATEVER WORKS so far have been mixed.
Regardless of what the critics say, they’re both comic geniuses, so it still won’t curb my enthusiasm…er, whatever.
Play Moneyball!
I’m bummed. Was really looking forward to seeing how Steven Soderbergh was going to pull off the adaptation of Michael Lewis’s bestselling baseball book about the Oakland A’s, MONEYBALL, starring Brad Pitt — that is, before Sony decided to yank it out of sight.
But let’s hope Pitt & Soderbergh can come up with the dough sooner than later…
Flickr Pick: The Rock Vs. Jason
Hey, who needs another Freddy Vs. Jason rematch? They should bring back Sheriff Buford Pusser from the original WALKING TALL.
But I can understand why The Rock Dwayne Johnson had his character’s name changed to Chris Vaughn…You can’t go around town kicking butt with the name Pusser.
Where Have You Gone, Sean?
Last week, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Sean Penn is taking time off from making movies to spend more time with his family, so I couldn’t help but wonder…What if he had taken the last 20+ years off? Who else could’ve possibly filled those shoes?
Flickr Pick: Evil Dead meets Vacation…
…or make that European Vacation.
And to think this spoof only took third prize.
