Friday's New Feature Films: 1/27/12

The Grey
I have to admit, when I saw Liam Neeson taping broken, jagged shooters to his hands so he could fight a hungry wolf in the snow, I kinda laughed out loud (while being extremely curious). However, I hear this just might be pretty damn intense, so I'll check it out eventually. For now, I'm destined to hunt down the three Best Picture nominees I skipped the first time around.

Man on Ledge
Sam Worthington on a ledge. Might he possibly be any more charismatic in this situation? Probably not. I'd only really care to see this if it ends with him accidentally slipping and taking Elizabeth Banks down with him.  Someone let me know, k? I don't mind spoilers in a situation like this.

One for the Money
The title says it all, no? Is Heigl really in it just for the money? Well, looking at her resume, it's certainly not for art or respect so yeah, I'd say that's a fair assessment. (Yes, I know it's based on a book.)

What best picture nominees?

Haven't seen Hugo, War Horse or Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. However, with my current home life schedule, I think I'm just going to see Hugo, since it got the most nominations and really is one of only three probably to be taken seriously for Best Picture (with The Artist and The Descendants). I don't think the other two will come close to getting Best Picture or anything else they've been nominated for so I think I can wait till dvd.

War Horse could win for best cinematography or score perhaps.

Sydow has a good shot at best supporting actor. The film isn't all that good, though.

As many know, I didn't care for HUGO.

Alas, I hope you enjoy.

Whatchu got against Liz Banks, huh?

You check out Hugo yet?

Be careful when laughing at Liam Neeson. He has the ears of a thousands hawks and will rumble with rocks to get to you.

Elizabeth Banks just never really did anything for me. She just plays herself most of the time (or at least the same character on repeat) and I think she's kinda bland. I don't hate her, but if I never saw another movie she did, I'd be fine with that too.

As for Mr. Neeson: can't say I'd mind it if he did "rumble with rocks" to get to me. Whatever it takes!
