The Woodsman


Bacon’s performance is gutsy and nuanced and perfectly delivered.  The result is a character so conflicted and conflicting that much of the film, though beautiful, is horribly stressful to watch.  It’s as if The Wrestler were about Sandusky.  Mos Definitely under-appreciated, underrated, and hopefully unrelated to Sedgwick’s love of Bacon.

The Italian Job (2003)

Original remake that abandons subtlety of original in favor of explosive action but maintains sexy iconic mini-cooper chase. A tremendous cast of A-listers Ocean Eleven their way through a clever heist. Audiences may have trouble accepting Norton as a bad guy, or anyone other than Jude Law as Michael Caine.
