It is sad when little seen but wonderful movies are ignored. Nora´s will is one of the best movies of the year and Fernando Lujan is the most impresive job i saw this year

Jim Sturgess–HEARTLESS and THE WAY BACK.Esp.HEARTLESS

It\’s too bad,Jim Sturgess is always overlooked by your blog.And his brilliant performance in FIFTY DEAD MEN Walking was also overlooked by The Playlist last year.Please see these two films.Capone at AICN says like this in his HEARTLESS review.

\”I\’ll be the first to admit, the film\’s star, Jim Sturgess, was one of those guys who just never really had me convinced he had anything to give the acting world. I wasn\’t a fan of either ACROSS THE UNIVERSE or 21, but then I caught his leading role in the IRA-themed 50 DEAD MEN WALKING and my opinion of him began to turn. I\’m hearing very good things about his work in the upcoming THE WAY BACK, but nothing quite prepared me for what he pulls off in Heartless, in which he plays the reclusive Jamie, ..\”The film is scary, beautifully acted, and I never knew quite where it was going. But once it got there, my heart started racing. And none of it would have worked nearly as well without Sturgess\’ fearless performance. I\’m actually glad he is shunning the cutesy stuff right now, and challenging himself at every turn. But even I was shocked by what he achieves in HEARTLESS. \”

Thank you for some focus, Edward.

And re: Sturgess, I did feel that he was outshined in The Way Back by Ed Harris and ESPECIALLY Colin Farrell, who I would\’ve put in this article if it weren\’t so long already.

Dear haters. Salt made $118 million in the U.S. and was budgeted around $110 million, not counting another 30-40 million for P&A. It made another $175 million worldwide, minus what 40-50 million for P&A across the rest of the planet. Do the math is that a huge success?

Knight and Day was profitable too, but it stalled at $76 million in the U.S. and was budgeted around $117 million, minus the same P&A costs (remember the budgeting estimates at BO mojo are always conservative too). Internationally it hauled in $185 minus the same international P&A costs. Profitable? Yes, but the point remains, Jolie and Cruise are not the same draws they were, at least not in the North America and last time we checked this site is was based in North America and a little thing like the film industry we discuss on a daily basis is also based there.

What a great list! Comprehensive, honest an a great read. I will have to check out the ones I\’ve missed. I\’m trying to think of who you missed, but I think you got them all! Well done! Sure you might not of been accurate about some of the flops, the list is spot-on!

You look worse than copycat brooke barns.
Salt and Knight&Day; made tons of money. Everybdy knows it but you didn\’t.
You are amateur people.
I delete you site from my favorite list.

This sounds like the companion piece to Brooke Barnes\’ NYTImes fluff. All the constellations in the sky couldn\’t sell How Do You Know, not even if all your breakout stars were in it.. Salt however cements rather than diminishes Jolie\’s drawing power since it\’s #17 among this year\’s top 20 worlwide (and #18 Domestic). Even Knight and Day wasn\’t too shabby at #21 WW — people were just too quick to write off Cruise. These stars are stars because of their worldwide drawing power and this year\’s results don\’t disprove that. How much better would Scott Pilgrim have done if it had one of these stars attached? We\’ll have to see how The Tourist fares when it opens in all the markets but the same movie without Depp and Jolie wouldn\’t make a fraction of what it has.

Salt made like $300 mil all due to Angelina\’s Jolie worldwide star power. Tom is 100% right. It was a success. The truth is the truth no matter you guys try at masking it.

I\’m pretty sure Salt made a boatload of money. Just because you guys hate it and seem to think whatever you believe is right, doesn\’t mean the movie was unsuccessful.

Is Greta Gerwig for \”Greenberg\” considered breakthrough? She booked a bunch of Hollywood crap after that performance and before that she almost only worked around the mumblecore scene.

How \’bout JUlie Sokolowski for \”Hadewijch\”? Gabino Rodriguez for Venice Film Festival winner \”Verano de Goliat\”?

I may be crazy, but I think you\’ve got a double negative problem in the Edgar Ramirez portion.

\”it’s still hard to deny that Olivier Assayas’ “Carlos” is anything but compelling\”
