“…just like any good roller coaster ride, you laugh, you scream, you close your eyes and peer through your hands. “Inglourious Basterds” if you can stomach it, is the cinematic equivalent.”
“With its mixture of action, suspense, and some eye-rolling final scenes, “Edge of Darkness” delivers formula and familiarity, yet is engaging enough to rope you into playing along.”
“…as honest, real, and true as any tangible historical document could ever be.”
If you surveyed my thoughts on the Screen Actors Guild Awards where I indicated that “The Hurt Locker” was in trouble for the Oscar win, well…the game has potentially changed again in 24 short hours. The Producers Guild has awarded “The Hurt Locker” with its Best Film prize.
