TIFF! Copernicus Renders A Verdict On George Clooney In MICHAEL CLAYTON!

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

Now that certain films are screening at festivals, I’m going to jump in and start talking about the fall movies. It’s nice to have entertainment for adults storming the multiplex again, and this is always my favorite time of year. I saw this one last week, and I’m curious to see what Copernicus makes of it, and how it does at the fest overall:

We know Tony Gilroy can write like the devil. The Bourne movies have some of the best scripts of any thrillers, spy or otherwise. But hallelujah, he can direct too. He directed MICHAEL CLAYTON from his own script about a “fixer” (George Clooney) who must reign in an old friend (Tom Wilkinson) who’s gone off the reservation and threatens to undermine a billion-dollar lawsuit. Soon Clayton is torn between his buddy and his own interests, and that of his company. He’s deep into a murky world where money and power eclipse all else, and if you don’t toe the line you are headed for certain ruination.

TIFF! Another Reader Scares Up A New Review Of THE ORPHANAGE!

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

I’ve only seen a few stills from this. I don’t even want to see a trailer. What I’ve seen so far gives me the heebie-jeebies, and I love it. I hope this film delivers on the word of mouth it’s been building since Cannes at the start of the summer, and I’m glad to see reviews of it show up in the inbox.

Especially from a spy with such a great, great nickname:

Greetings Mori,

Sent this to Harry but sending it your way as well. Hitting up Toronto for the Fest, and had the pleasure of seeing The Orphanage.

TIFF! The Repeater Offers Second Opinions On LUST, CAUTION and MICHAEL CLAYTON!

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

First, congratulations to Ang Lee for winning so many awards at the Venice Film Festival for his new film, LUST, CAUTION, which sounds like an interesting companion piece to Verhoeven’s brilliant BLACK BOOK from last year.

I hope I’ll be seeing this one in a few weeks here in LA, but for now, I’m excited to see another review for it:

Harry - I was at the screening last night for LUST, CAUTION at the Elgin Theatre here in Toronto, and caught MICHAEL CLAYTON’s second screening this afternoon at Ryerson University. I’m a huge film fan - but far from a professional reviewer. I’m going to talk about seeing an actor’s junk in part of the review, so that should prove it.
