I cannot help but view this with suspecision as a way to promote their new movie "Friends with Benefits." After all, the movie takes place in New York and LA potentially shutting out 'Fly Over Country.' Low and behold, the two stars of the movie are going on dates with those who serve in the military. I cannot help but view this as a way to bring positive publicity to a movie that otherwise a conservative site such as BIG HOLLYWOOD would trash for its loose convictions on sexuality. Just something to consider.
I just saw "Battle: Los Angeles" and the only thing refreshing/original was a Hollywood war movie about hero-ism and sacrifice. Everything else was at most mediocre. Editing was terrible, even headache inducing. Too shaky. Ebert needs to understand with the CinemaScore rating that many of the 'A' ratings came from under 25 males. Everyone else rated it a B. However, this is a critic who gave "The American" and "Salt" 4 stars!?!?!?
As a strong and devout Christian, I find this sad and lame. Christian faith is from the soul and heart...no need to get a certificate to denounce God and Jesus Christ.
This isnt an AP story, this is an opinion piece. These aren't facts, their assumptions.
"Once" wasnt nominated for Best Picture. It won an Oscar for Best Song for "Falling Slowly." If you enjoy an old fashioned, low key movie then rent "Once."
I enjoyed both "I Love You, Man" and "Duplicty." Both movies will carry themselves through word of mouth. I think they exceed standard genre pics. "Knowing" looks terrible. Of course, its doing well!
I suggest everyone rent the documentary I.O.U.S.A. or watch the core 30 minutes posted by the director on You Tube.

Im a big movie buff and political guy and this was one of the best movies from last year!
First, there are characteristics to this current recession that make it worse from the 70's/80's. Also, the deregulated growth of these past few decades are what's behind this economic mess. What goes up must come down.
The only person alleging suicide was the Republican congressman from Iowa blasting AIG.
I think "Knowing" looks like a cross between two Nick Cage movies, "National Treasure and his bomb "Next."For the sake of creativity in Hollywood, I hope this movie under performs. "Duplicity" was entertaining, but not as good as "Michael Clayton." Good script and performance through out the movie and is topical covering the shady side of business. This will be more of an adult oriented, word-of-mouth movie. And I caught a promo screening of "I Love You, Man" last week and enjoyed the 'bromance' aspect of the film. Very funny! Hope it's number one this weekend.
I saw an advanced screening last night of 'Duplicity' (I work at a movie theatre), I can tell you its a much better film then what's being advertised. 'Knowing' looks cliche and familiar.
