Will: What do I wanna way outta here for? I'm gonna live here the rest of my fuckin' life. We'll be neighbors, have little kids, take 'em to Little League up at Foley Field. Chuckie: Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way but, in 20 years if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house, watchin' the Patriots games, workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill ya. That's not a threat, that's a fact, I'll fuckin' kill ya. Will: What the fuck you talkin' about? Chuckie: You got somethin' none of us have... Will: Oh, come on! What? Why is it always this? I ...

Kata’s Top 10 Films of 2008
Kata Rokkar —
10. In Bruges - The film hypnotizes you with humor and then blindsides you surprising violence. Super fun!
9. Iron Man - The best superhero films are the ones that make you feel like a child again. Iron Man did exactly that.
8. Burn After Reading - For those who know the Coen Bros. style, this may have been too predictable. However it’s sharp and dark humor and perfect characters saved it. ...

Exquisite Agony (Column)
PopMatters —
by Chris Barsanti In Darren Aronofsky’s punishing The Wrestler , Mickey Rourke looks like a thousand miles of rough road, and that’s when he’s having a good day. His face is puffy and lined with the latticework of tiny scars that are the badge of the pro wrestler (never know when you might have to cut yourself with a razor in order to get the blood flowing for the audience). Rourke’s body is a battered hulk still roped with muscle but clearly on the verge of giving way; one more serious injury and the whole thing will be quits. Tellingly, “Job” is tattooed on one finger. It’s the eyes, though, that really shine with the ruin of his ...
New To Theatres This Weekend: Yes Man, Seven Pounds, The Tale of Despereaux
Film Junk —
Well we’re only a week away from Christmas and I have to say I’m not overly excited about the selection of movies in theatres right now. I know some people are happy to see Jim Carrey return to form with Yes Man, and Will Smith fans are no doubt intrigued by Seven Pounds, but come on — The Tale of Despereaux is one CG mouse movie too many. Your best bet is to try and catch The Wrestler which finally opens in four whole theatres this weekend, or Slumdog Millionaire which is finally closing in on a wide release. Are you planning on seeing anything this weekend? ...

Screaming Blue Reviews —
The Will Smith movie behind the oblique marketing campaign; Mickey Rourke’s comeback; Jim Carrey returns to formula.
It’s difficult to say whether the fall/winter movie season is getting any better, but it’s at least getting more crowded. This week three films open on the heels of major ...
An Arbitrary Guide To This Weekend’s New Releases
Hollywoodtuna —
The Top Ten actually sees a little healthy competition this weekend, as Jim Carrey and Will Smith go up against each other in a battle for box office supremacy. But whoever wins, Carrey for Yes Man or Smith for Seven Pounds, don’t expect the good feelings to last - five new entries crowd the field starting Christmas Day.
Expect Yes Man to come out on top in the end though, mainly because it’s a comedy, and a high-concept one at that. Personally, my expectations for Jim ...

Paste: The Informer - This Week —
Big Fan Robert D. Siegel wrote the critically acclaimed film The Wrestler (which just scored an Oscar nomination for Mickey Rourke's performance), and before that he was a senior editor for The Onion . And now he's making his directorial debut at Sundance with Big Fan . Patton Oswalt plays the title character, Paul, a Staten Island parking lot attendant who spends his nights and weekends obsessing over the New York Giants and their star linebacker. He lives with his mother, writes rant-filled commentary to read on late-night call-in radio shows, and sets up a lawn chair, a cooler, and a TV outside of home games that he can't ...
