New Release Tuesday

American remake with one of the greatest directors working today, David Fincher.  I do not know alot about this flick heading into it and that is the way I want it.  I enjoy all of Fincher's work even Alien 3.  Kudos to the studio for letting Fincher stick with the dark subject and putting his version on the screen and not making him clean it up for the big screen.

Remake from the BBC late seventies mini series with the late Sir Alec Guiness.  One of the movies from the awards movie season I have been looking forward to seeing the most.  I really wanted Gary Oldman to win the best actor trophy for this role and was shocked when Oscar noms came out and realized this was his first nomination. 

We caught this in the theater and the parents enjoyed this more then the kids.  Nice trip back to my kid hood watching all the Muppets reunite on the big screen again.  I loved Chris Cooper in this, not at all a role you would expect him in and that was surprising.  Maniacal laugh... maniacal laugh...


I am beginning to worry about Rangers closer Joe Nathan.  He has not looked good so far and today we hear Feliz left early with a shoulder strain.   Contenders do not head into the season with closer issues.

AMC's the Walking Dead season 2 wrapped up this past Sunday to a very fulfilling finale.  The group had to move on from the farm as it was taken over by zombies.  Rick has claimed himself dictator as he finally disclosed what the CDC told him last season.  The group moves on to look for a new pad as there is a Shawshank looking place nearby.

FX's Justified continues tonight as Raylan and the Carpetbagger look to square off OK Corral style.
