Russell’s ‘The Fighter’ Will Hit U.S. Theaters This December https://staging2.theplaylist.net/eagle-of-ninth-pushed-to-february-2011-20100526/ Fri, 13 Nov 2020 03:01:20 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Anthony https://staging2.theplaylist.net/eagle-of-ninth-pushed-to-february-2011-20100526/#comment-19241 Thu, 27 May 2010 12:54:22 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=2973#comment-19241 I am not a film specialist: so can someone explain why a February release for The Eagle of the Ninth makes it 'pocorn fare' rather than an 'award season contender'? Is being 'popcorn fare' good or bad or just different – does pocorn fare mean something which more people will see; because if it does I am all in favour of that!

I am a Rosemary Sutcliff fan (and relative), so look forward to seeing the film whenever, as long as it is excellent! Meanwhile others might join me in reading or re-reading the book; or more about Rosemary Sutcliff and the film & book at http://www.rosemarysutcliff.wordpress.com
