Okay folks here we have it - the cream of the crop of this fall's movie going season. Coincidently 3 of the 4 picks have the potential to make some viewers squirm and actress Naomi Watts might be part of these nightmares. And now, without much further ado here are IONCINEMA.com's final four...
In today's foursome, we have the first of Weinstein co.'s singer-related music biographies and we've placed two highly anticipated Paramount Vantage in the mix. Curiously all four films are book novel to film adaptations.
When adults who have children have other adult friends who also have children, those children will inevitably be thrown together on a regular basis. If you’re one of those children and you’re lucky, then you might get along with this other child. Or, if you’re Robert, in director, Volker Einrauch’s Der Andere Junge (The Other Boy), you’re lucky if you make it through an entire evening without your forced friend, Paul, beating you repeatedly. Your parents barely know you and rarely listen to what you have to say so you can’t go to them with your troubles. You try reasoning with Paul but his antics only become worse when he smells your weakness. You are alone and no one is coming to your rescue. The results can be very isolating. Before long, you feel cornered and you do what it takes without thinking about what will follow.
The midway point of our list presents established filmmakers changing up their "serves" sorta speak. Ang Lee goes subtitle country while Tony Kaye (American History X) delivers a documentary. We also have some legitimate shots at Oscar below - you decide which ones have the better chances.
Today's double pairings have very little in common - we have an Argentinean film that has had a delayed released, we have the only film sequel worth mentioning this year, we have a Clooney film from a newbie director and have a quirky comedy from a regular favorite filmmaker of ours.
