  • Quick, recommend me a film!

    I might pop to the cinema in a bit and I haven't got a clue what is worth watching. So come on, what do you recommend? Nothing too sloppy either...

                "A History of Violence"

                  Nearest one. Or ring them both and check that neither is full.

                    I have noticed that film, plus it has an 18 certificate (definitely a plus ). But what is it about?

                        from http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/history_of_violence/

                        Canadian director David Cronenberg, whose impressive oeuvre includes such disparate works as THE DEAD ZONE, THE FLY, DEAD RINGERS, M. BUTTERFLY, and SPIDER, has made what might be the best film of his career with A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. Loosely based on the graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince Locke, the movie stars Viggo Mortensen as Tom Stall, a quiet, easygoing family man who runs a diner in a small Indiana town. But when two dangerous criminals come into the restaurant prepared to wreak havoc, Stall turns hero and shoots them both. After Stall's story is blasted all over the media, Philly mobster Carl Fogaty (an excellent Ed Harris) shows up, claiming that Tom is actually former hit man Eddie Cusack--and they've got some important business to finish. While Stall insists that Fogaty is mistaken, his family--his wife, Edie (Maria Bello); teenage son, Jack (Ashton Holmes); and young daughter, Sarah (Heidi Hayes)--gets dragged into the danger that constantly threatens to explode. Cronenberg, whose films often deal with the fantastical, the futuristic, and the supernatural, has done a masterly job creating a wholly believable modern world where evil lurks just around the corner. Howard Shore's tense, moody music complements the outstanding acting in a violent, powerful film that is not to be missed.




                        it is awesome

                          Apparently it's remarkably comprehensible for a Cronenberg film.

                            and Maria Bello gets naked in the movie too

                            To us, it is the BEAST.
