If you need reasons to go see this movie, here are four that quickly come to mind:
- Because it was written and directed by Tony Gilroy, the guy who wrote the screenplays for the Bourne movies. It’s as fast-paced and suspenseful as those are, but not a single round is fired.
- Because Tom Wilkinson, who plays a manic-depressive trial lawyer with a newfound conscience, will surely get the Oscar for best supporting actor. (You heard it on Three Roads first!)
- Because Tilda Swinton is far more cold and ruthless as the executive of a polluting agribusiness than she was as the White Witch.
- Because George Clooney “gives a beautiful, modulated performance, and he’s never been more likable,” says New Yorker critic David Denby.
Get a life man! don’t you live in Colorado? I bet you have a million toys just sitting around your place that cry every time you go watch a movie. All of that energy you spend cranking out pop-culture insights could be used to work off your corporate fupa. I mean, I like George clooney too (read my name and you’ll understand), but I’m not gonna get a piece of that fine Kentucky fried booty (He’s from the great bluegrass state) by sitting on my rump at the theater.
Thanks for reminding me of my “corporate fupa,” Karl. (I’m sorry; I meant Imava.) I’m going to hit the Stairmaster tonight.
And for the record, I live in Denver, which is great because it’s right next to Colorado.
