TWO FILMS
I just saw previews for two films coming out this year. I know I made that top ten list already, but these two, one looks just wonderful, the other....the performance of the lead. The first being Children of Men starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Michael Caine. It is about the next generation of humans from now, our children. For one reason or another, women can no longer carry children, and after this generation dies, the human race will be no more. Clive Owen gets pulled into a shocking discovery by an old friend(julianne moore): a woman has somehow managed to concieve. Clive and Julianne along with some freedom fighter type folks must get this girl safely across the border into some country not revealed by the trailer, where she will be safe and the child delivered safely into the world. The second film is called Edmond starring William H. Macy, like I said, not the movie but his performance that counts here, it looks like the best performance of the year, if not his entire career. He plays a stressed out businessman who decides to just let go and leaves his wife?, sleeps with some righteously beautiful babes(Mena Suvari and Denise Richards), and when he goes home with a third woman(Julia Stiles) he ends up killing her, most likely accidentally in some sort of rage. But the rest of the film is how he deals with this and most likely is busted by the police, but the movie looks fucking awesome, and the screenwriter is David Mamet(Hannibal,Ronin, and most importantly The Untouchables).
