There is this movie which I am very excite about, after watching another movie of Terry Gilliam recently. I was taken aback to see Heath Ledger playing one of the main roles of the movie. Even the plot is not at all disappointing!

revolutionary road- looks good

PR and Thilak: Most welcome. Pryor is most famous for being an all out, no holds barred comic. Pretty much all the modern day African-American raunchy stand-up (including Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle and Eddie Murphy) were born from Pryor's style.

I hate people who dimiss Carrey as a comedic actor. Ivanga ellaam Truman show ellaam paarkurathe illaya (in spite of the plot being incredibly melodramatic the perfromances were OK). He is also pretty good in Man on the Moon where he reprises Andy kaufman (Carrey widely admits that Kaufman is his biggest comedic influence).

I too am looking forward to Fincher's The curious case of Benjamin Button. Also looking forward to Frank Miller's Watchmen.

Eagerly awaiting Synecdoche New York

Naanum uNgalaip polath thaan. It premiered at Toronto. Here is a review: http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/tiff...oche-new-york/

I am surprised there isn't more of a discussion of Kaufman on the hub. It surprises me how he is able to make such indulgent movies and no ge silen ced by the system. Also eagerly awaiting a theatrical release of Synechdoche.

Complicateur, Kaufman is a big favorite in the hub including yours truly.

Thilak, ingellAm release paNNuvaingalAnnE theriyale. torrent dhaanA ? Amaam. A remote chance of theatrical release. I saw "ETernal sunshine of spotless mind" in Studio 5. Just a single show was allocated, and the crowd rate was reasonably good, considering the 'romantic comedy' genre. I remember a friend (who is a girl) got disappointed after my recommendation. she critiqued "Kate winslet looks bad in different hair colors, Jim carrey was sleepwalking with no single comedy scene to offer, etc". Perhaps she'd have a different opinion if Julia Roberts and Richard Gere starred in it... http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/ymlol.gif

Complicateur, Snyder is doing "Watchmen" after "300". Miller hasn't written the script, and his only active involvement with DC comics is Batman series and Ronin (his best GN work IMO). But, I think I'll enjoy DC's "Watchmen" more than Miller's 300. Personally, I couldn't stand 300 for its allegory, and in fact, I hated the novel more as a result.

I haven't read "Watchmen", but I hear it released it around the same time as Miller's "The dark knight returns", with this DC redefined the medium, and paved way for adult-oriented, less campy graphic novels. It's of certain interest to see superheroes in such a world.

And by the way, did you check out trailer of Miller's solo debut "The spirit". It looks like he has captured it in a "Sin city" world, thus angering the fans of original comic strip. However, I wouldn't mind as I'm a big FM fan. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...icon_smile.gif Neo-noir fans wouldn't mind watching I hope.

Thilak: I was misinformed it seems. I was quite certain I had seen it as Frank Miller's Watchmen when I saw the first teaser trailer. O well I'm still looking forward to it.
I liked the graphic novel 300. I enjoyed the spectacle of the movie (benefit of watching it on IMAX) and was OK with it since it was fairly faithful to the original except with the additional scenes for Lena Headey.
I just looked up The Spirit, will watch the trailer when I get home tonite. Heavyweight cast but have not heard of Macht (who is playing the lead).

Anybody here seen Seven pounds??. Heard it from some of my friends here that it is very good.

Remember seeing an aXXo release for TCCOBB few days back. Padam December 25 thaane release? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/huh.gif
