  1. All of the trailers (except Killers) look interesting, but I must say, I'm most intrigued by The Exploding Girl...

  4. I kind of got a (500) days of summer vibe from the exploding girl. (that's a good thing)

    Leaves of grass looks amazing

  5. Agreed, to a degree, on both counts...

  6. I'm not sure what to think of "Leaves of Grass" quite yet. I think it could be quite a good film, even though the trailer isn't very well put together. It could be a bit like "The Wrestler" in that way, since that didn't have a very good trailer either, yet it turned out to be the second-best film of 2008, in my opinion.

    "The Exploding Girl" looks like it could be interesting, and I sort of understand the "(500) Days" vibe that comes off, but I think it'll probably be tonally different.

    "Centurion" looks amazing, in an entertaining way, although Michael Fassbender looks fantastic in it.

    And I thought "Killers" looked pretty bad. Seems like Katherine Heigl will be continuing her bad streak...

  7. No disagreements here from me on those remarks...

  8. Heigl's talent is better accounted for on television. She's had some pretty impressive turns as Izzy on "Grey's Anatomy." I just wish she'd get the same material for the silver screen.

    I dunno maybe her agent is only interested in amplifying her "American Sweetheart" image first before she starts taking more risks...Who knows, these are just wild guesses.

    Either way I have faith her talent. It's there. It just needs the right stuff to propel it..She's definitely one to watch....

    In other news; I can't wait to get my hands on that "Exploding Girl"---it seems like an interesting character study
