The Week in Film: Oscar Bait

And for last, but surely not the very least, it’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Nothing animated about this…

... unless you count Nicolas Cage. I’m sure he does a very good job like the little excerpts say in the trailer, but for some reason, in my mind, he’s always playing a crazy, unhinged, psychopathic scene chewer. I’ve always liked dark material, but a good cop turning bad is something we’ve seen many times before, and I’m not sure how or if they can make this fresh or put a new twist on it. Then again, it’s acclaimed Werner Herzog. So, who knows? Val Kilmer co-stars.

BITS AND CRUMBS

For those of you who are excited like me for Alice in Wonderland, here’s the poster to whet your appetite until the movie comes out next year.

And here’s another pic, a spread.

And in the “why I haven’t heard about this sooner” pile, there’s apparently a movie coming out next year called Burlesque. And if I had to take one guess, I’m going to say that it’s going to be about Winnie the Pooh, isn’t it?

Kidding aside, I’m sooooo looking forward to this. I mean, Cher, X-tina, and one of my faves, Kristen Bell are all in this! Ahhhh! *head explodes*

Excuse me while I put my head back together. It may take me a week. So, see you then! That is if I manage to put my head back together and get my eyes working again.
