    Not too much to say about this one other than I really enjoyed it and…. nope if I say the rest it will be too easy. I’ll save the clue for a couple of hours.

    If there is one thing I’ve learned about doing screenshot quizzes is never include text in the screenshot. I don’t remember the scene, but 2 seconds with google revealed the movie!

    I know but I’m hoping everyone doesn’t just google it. That takes all the fun out of it.

    Wasn’t a big fan of this movie. Felt like they spent all their money on casting high powered actors, but forgot to write them a decent script. Cop Land.

    Agreed that the acting definitely outweighed the script and ideas in this one. Still, that ‘near deaf’ sequence is tour-de-force. And a variety of other elements made me like the movie quite a bit.

    I was really impressed with what director James Mangold managed to do with the 3:10 to Yuma remake, another film that puts its actors to superb use.

    Without Googling, I guess…

    Factotum?

    Nope not Factotum but that one looks interesting. I’d never heard of it until now.

    oops, just saw that Logan got it. Yeah it is Copland. For me, I like any movie that gives an underrated actor a chance to really act

    @John: “I like any movie that gives an underrated actor a chance to really act” – I agree bigtime.

    Mark Wahlberg in I Heart Huckabees
    Adam Sandler in Punchdrunk Love
    Sylvester Stallone in Copland/Rocky
    Charlize Theron in Monster
    (post 1970s) Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction and Cathch Me if You Can
    Elizabeth Taylor in Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
    Naomi Watts (pre 2002) in Mulholland Dr.

    and I’m really excited about

    Jean Claude Van Damme in JCVD (Twitch Review)

    Great film. James Mangold…what a director.

    3:10 to Yuma was very entertaining. Russell Crowe and Ben Foster were great, Christian Bale was borderline-tolerable which for me is way better than he usually is.

    Cop Land was pretty shitty though. You can say that Stallone maybe is better than you’d expect from the star of Over The Top, but I definitely don’t think he did a good job in Cop Land, and I have to admit the story completely bored me as well.
