Fox Searchlight has just officially announced that Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life will be released May 27, 2011. The film stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn playing roles as father and son stretched across emotional (and generational) boundaries.
There is a fight at the heart of all of Malick’s films, a fight against the medium itself.
MediaStinger: "These movies didn’t necessarily have trailers that blew you away, but at the very least they all had potential to be much better than the actual final product."
Cowboys and Aliens was not a big disappointment to me or anyone else that I know that saw it. We all loved it and for the same reasons. The characters, the actors that played them, the fresh storyline that's not been done...it wasn't a reboot or sequel or prequel..just a new story and different.
I guess we have to agree to disagree on that one.
CO - Let’s be honest… it’s always a good time to be Brad Pitt. One of the sexiest men alive, rich and powerful, and an extremely underrated actor, he’s considered a shoe-in for a Best Actor nomination for Money Ball, out on DVD and Blu-Ray this week. He’s excellent in the film, which reminded us that beyond his good looks he’s appeared in a number of modern classics worthy of mention in our ongoing series Five Great Movies.
I think I found a new respect for his acting in Lengends of the Fall. That is when I started to like his acting a little. Seven was very good though.
