The steady flow of movies slows down a bit this week before the big December rush, but there are a few films headed to theatres this week. If you can stomach it, a new thriller arrives in theatres, plus the many lives of Bob Dylan come to the big screen, Woody Allen debuts his crime melodrama, and a family gets in trouble at the West Edmonton Mall.
Awake
As more and more psychological thrillers flood the market, Hollywood seems to be reaching into the most obscure realms for frightening story ideas. Awake seems to be a great example of that with Hayden Christenson taking on the role of a patient in surgery who finds himself aware of everything that is going on while he is supposed to be under anesthesia.
Jessica Alba co-stars as a fairly young wife who must deal with her husband’s surgery, and her own demons. The idea may be somewhat fresh, but nothing about the film is more than another basic thriller. This is also the first film for writer / director Joby Harold, a bad sign-and host Alba has been appearing in many cheesy movies recently. There are no advance reviews, it is just guessing, but all signs point to this is a thriller can be leased when it arrives on DVD.
I do not There
It takes cake for experimental filmmaking, but it is artful, to pull over the strange premise? There, I do not throw six participants in the role of the legendary musician Bob Dylan. Instead of attempting an actor plays many aspects of Dylan, directed by Todd Haynes spins tales six options for six people, including two women, under-function. Lots of buzz for the film was mostly very Cate Blanchett in the role of Jude, but considers Blanchett incredible job in every movie she’s ever in this should not surprise anyone. While it is difficult to pin the film along with a single item, and quote, Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post said that the better: “[I am not catering E] proposal absorption, sometimes hallucinatory disquisition on how Dylan has brilliantly succeeded his audience projections.”
Cassandra ’s Dream
Star Ewan McGreggor and Colin Farrell, Cassandra ’s Dream is the latest in a virtuoso filmmaker Woody Allen. Following in the footsteps of his previous film, Match Point, his new film, set in London, and two brothers, which had financial problems but also to quickly get wiped out in the tangle Internet ends murder. Although the film is primarily a drama, it also has elements of a thriller and melodrama. Critical reviews of the latest film festivals, were not exactly kind of movie, but McGreggor and Farrell were praised for keeping the film moving, even as the plot becomes too complicated.
