Thanks to Peter Chattaway pointing out “Crunchy Con” Rod Dreher’s comments on The Reaping, which was filmed in his hometown. Apparently, it’s not just the movie that’s ridiculous.
Even the claims made by Hilary Swank about the history of the area in which was filmed are false!
Oh, and yes, as promised, my review is up at CT Movies. In my history of reviewing for them, I think Catwoman is the only movie I’ve given a poorer grade…
Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be in line for that one.
I was wondering your thoughts on the new Rodriguez/Tarantinto outing. Are they the same as your thoughts about “300”? I agreed with you on “300”, but have a desire to see “Grindhouse” just because Tarantino is involved and I think he’s a great writer. You think its just another goreno flick?
Enjoyable review, Jeffrey. This is the second time I’ve heard David Morrissey compared to Liam Neeson. The thought never occurred to me. Do they really sound that much alike?
One small typo in the review, though. The screenwriters were Chad and Carey Hayes, and at least one of them is a Christian. Too bad they couldn’t transmute their faith into an interesting screenplay!
Maybe their next project (an adaptation of Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw) will fare better.
Huh, there are a lot of articles calling him Casey (do a Google search and you’ll see), but you’re right… the official site says Carey. My bad.
Yeah, it looks like Emanuelle Levy, The Hollywood Reporter and Yahoo! News got it wrong, too. Weird.
Totally unrelated note (well, hopefully):
You can check out the myspace blog of Michael Rinaldi, the gentleman working on the screenplay of “Screwtape Letters” at: http://www.myspace.com/dissonanceisbliss
Best!
