"So what was I saying?"

Let me be the first to say that I have a boner just thinking about this trailer. Not even the movie. Half of my movie going experience is getting to see the previews for upcoming movies. They almost are the deciding factor for whether or not I'm going to enjoy the feature presentation. Alright, not really, but previews are great. I mean, think about it, who isn't glued to the tv when scenes from the next episode are promised after the commercial break? I won't even dare change the channel and I take pride in my remote handling skills.

Now I have become quite the movie buff in the past few years. In fact, I attempted to watch every movie that was nominated for the Best Picture at the Oscars from 1986 to the present day this summer and I have now seen about 95 of the 115. I believe that the two best actors of our generation are Leonardo Dicaprio and Denzel Washington. In no particular order I might add. I think they are 1 and 1 A.

For the longest time I had contended that there was not a single bad movie out there that starred Denzel until I saw Fallen, which quite frankly was brutal. And yeah, maybe American Gangster was a little long, but it brought us perhaps the most badass scene in the history of cinema.




If you put Denzel in any sort of role where he is a cop (bonus points if he is a hostage negotiator), a criminal, or a government operative than you are guaranteed a phenomenal movie.

Not for nothing, this director did a hell of a job with with Eastern Promises, so I'm even more excited. If you haven't seen it, Viggo Mortensen delivers an outstanding performance and was rightfully nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
