The Lookout a Great Film


So Jenny and I saw the new Movie "The Lookout" last night. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jeff Daniels, Matthew Goode, and Isla Fisher and directed by Scott Frank. Levitt plays Chris Pratt who is left mentally and emotionally handicapped after a traumatic automobile accident. Living with his blind roommate (Daniels), he spends his days going to rehabilitation classes and his nights working for the local bank.

One night Chris is befriended by an old classmate named Gary (Goode), who quickly introduces him to a life of partying and enjoyment while increasingly involving him in a plan to take advantage of Chris's position at the bank.

It was a really good film. I was captivated thou out the whole film and couldn't wait to see what happend next. The ending of the film was great. Levitt does an amazing performance. I read Oscar buzz. Anyone who loves a good crime story will love this film.


here are a few pictures from the film

Lily Tomlin Goes Ape Shit on Director

Not to confuse anyone but this incident took place back in 2004 on the set of I ♥ Huckabees.The first video is footage of a scene in a car containing Tomlin, Dustin Hoffman and Isabelle Huppert in the front of the car with Mark Wahlberg and Naomi Watts in the back seat. Russell cannot be heard, but Tomlin is repeatedly shouting angrily at Russell's direction. At one point, Tomlin attempts to get out of the car; at another, she berates Watts and Hoffman. The other actors in the scene remain mostly silent throughout the video, except Hoffman, who suggests they carry on shooting the scene. The car scene was never used in the final film.

In the second video, a scene is being filmed in the Jaffe detective offices, Tomlin, Hoffman and Jason Schwartzman are present. Russell gives Tomlin direction until Tomlin criticizes Russell's directing style. The video is then cut to moments later when Russell rises from the floor and shoves props off of the desk Tomlin is acting behind. Russell shouts obscenities at Tomlin, storming off the set, only to come back a short while later. The argument between the two briefly continues until Russell exits the set again, knocking over a lamp on his way out.

Both Videos are sort of Surreal. But this Director has had problems with cast membes in the past. He made George Cloony go ape shit too.

300 Looked Good

Jenny and I went and saw this film last night at the AMC. We thought it was good. It was really good. The guys were surreal. They were crazy fit. The whole movie was shot in Canada which is another plus. I Think it would look sick in HD.
