As previously reported, we did five movies today. Here's what they were:
Brooklyn's Finest - Antoine Fuqua directed cop drama set in the Brooklyn projects. Starring Wesley Snipes, Ethan Hawke, Don Cheadle, and Richard Gere as cops and bad guys with varied degress of rightness/wrongness. It was dark and unsettling and not bad at all.
Amreeka - GREAT MOVIE! I already posted about it.
The Greatest - the tale of a grieving family. Great performance by Susan Sarandon. Not as great performance by Pierce Brosnan. It was a good movie, but I felt like I'd seen it a few times before.
500 Days of Summer - Absolutely the favorite so far. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zoey Deschanel (playing Zoey Deschanel basically). Really interesting narrative devices. This movie will do *VERY* *VERY* well in theaters!
Spread - starring Ashton Kutcher as a hustling LA actor guy. Pretty vapid but entertaining. Wicked mainstream. Surprising (but not really) to see this at Sundance.
We don't quite know yet what tomorrow will bring.
