i mean, just watch the trailer. He looks more amazing then....ever.


That and the movies been out in uk n ireland for a month now, and saying the reviews praise him is an under statement.

to qoute an ireland news paper "bale gives the best performance of the decade"

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/harsh_times/

1."Essentially Ethan Hawke to Bale's Denzel Washington"

2. "allowing Bale to clock up some of his best work this side of American Psycho and The Machinist. "

-bbc critic


1."A psychotic seizure of a performance by Christian Bale dominates "Harsh Times,"

2."Bale's showy turn as a 'round-the-bend Gulf War vet and the pic's sensationalistic treatment of modern ills will likely induce a distribdistrib and some viewers to bite"

3." Bale takes possession of his crazed character here to an alarming degree"

4."It's a potent dramatic set-up, especially with a commanding actor like Denzel WashingtonDenzel Washington or Bale playing the hard-ass. "

-todd mcarthy, variety



theres a few reviewsa form small eurpean magazines....bales drawn several comparisons to denzel in training day........the film opens november 10th....could this be the year he finally get a nomination?

If he get nominated at all it'll be for Prestige or Rescue Dawn probably, a movie like this would be an extremely hard sell for the Academy especially if your name isnt Denzel Washington.

You should just post this stuff in the best actor thread, dont have to start a new thread.

Wow Kill, this looks familiar doesn't it?

Great minds think alike............................

god do I wanna delete my Bale thread now

Why not bump it, considering I have something to say on that subject that will make you happy that I dont' want to post in here.
