I havent' seen a single movie with Colin Farrell in it yet and I really don't know how thats possible since he is in EVERYTHING. I'll probably go check out The Recruit and see how he fares. If I see Daredevil it would only be to check out Farrell -- I think that movie looks ridiculously bad.
DeltaSigStan -- I was surprised that people didn't flock to see GONY, too. Realistically I think they were turned off by how long it was. And it was so..... freaking ..... long. Scorsese is a fantastic director but I think he could have used some reining in there. While he did an amazing job of creating a whole world, there were many scenes that were just unncessary and the length distracted me from the film overall. I think he -- like Spielberg and Lucas to an extent -- has become too big for his own good. No one is able to pull him aside and let him know he's getting off track.
Anyway, one of the reasons I'm especially psyched to see Tears of the Sun is because one of my favorite new directors is in charge of it... Antoine Fuqua. He's the same guy who did Training Day which was so fantastic and so intense.
On the flip side, Basic is directed by McTiernan who needs to make a comeback in a major way after Rollerball. But this is the same guy who directed Predator, The Thomas Crown Affair, and Die Hard and DH3. So I'm pretty sure he's going to come through and make a solid movie.
