This loosely based off that woman who drove her three kids into the lake? |

Saw the trailer during the first episode of Nip/Tuck. It looks interesting and I'm a fan of SLJ (who isn't?) so I'll definitely see it. |

The three leads are great but the film is helmed by Joe Roth, director of such masterpieces as America's Sweethearts and Christmas with the Kranks, so I wonder about this one. |

he also directed the classic Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise. This was a possible Oscar hopeful, but it was recently moved (dumped) in February of 2006. |

I swear I thought it was a sequel to The Forgotten before the title came up in the trailer. |

Does Samuel L Jackson's character like you know gets into SLJ mode and responds with "Hell no woman! You think I kidnapped your son. Heck no. Get out of here before I put my foot up your ass"? |

Yeah, it looks pretty shit. The director just screams run away in fear. If it gets good reviews maybe I'll see it... but I don't think so. |

Freedomland By Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter.com Bottom line: Crime is merely the starting point for this dark, involving drama "Freedomland" is a sober, unsettling drama that uses the framework of a police procedural to explore matters of individual madness and the collective madness of racism. Adapting his 1998 novel, Richard Price has fashioned a stripped-down, elegantly written tale that's topical without being heavy-handed. The film is, above all, a moving portrait of hurting souls, brought to life in compelling performances. .......................... review continues ************************************ but that sounds pretty good for starters. |
