Tom Cruise - SLEEPER

Tom Cruise and Sam Raimi are setting up Sleeper at Warner Bros. Cruise is loosely attached to star in the adaptation of the DC Comics/Wildstorm comic that Raimi would produce with his Star Road Entertainment partner Josh Donen.

Written by Ed Brubaker with art by Sean Phillips, "Sleeper," which ran from 2003-05, centers on an operative whose fusion with an alien artifact makes him impervious to pain and allows him to pass it on to others through skin contact. He is placed undercover in a villainous organization by an intelligence agency and falls for a member of the group, named Miss Misery.

Burn After Reading


I can't wait for the world to see this film. It is a throw back to those 90 some odd minute films that were just full on entertainment from start to finish. Lets face it, a multi star cast like this could easily mail it in , but they don't and I can't say enough about the fact that it exceeded what I expected in terms of simplicity, script and characters. I'll post more after the screening at TIFF.

Pride and Glory - Early Review


Pride and Glory


The film follows a multi-generational family of New York City cops whose moral code is tested when one of two sons on the force investigates a case involving his older brother and brother-in-law.

I can't publish much here but I will tell you that this film is NOT a must see at the Toronto Film Festival. It's chalked up with cliches and plays out like every other cop movies you have ever seen. In fact, at one point I honestly thought I'd seen the movie before it was just that familiar. I've heard through the vine that the movie has been re-cut a few times too and I'm sure early audiances may have felt the same way.
So I'm a pass on this one.
