I like this sentence best (italics mine): "After a ten-second burst, the American picked up the unharmed infant and smiled for the camera." Well, duhhh!
I don't really like Clive Owen, but I think Giamatti is the bee's knees, even when he makes terrible movie choices. I saw a preview for this movie last night, and I was a bit skeptical. BUT, it's an action movie that's rated R (rare these days as producers try to capture the teenaged male demographic), and it looks to be a little tongue-in-cheek, so it might be excellent.
Paul Giamatti kicks ass. It takes a lot of faith in an actor for me to even consider that this Christmas film might actually be funny, as it's everything I would normally cringe at.
miss lynnster, that "Fred Claus" trailer almost ran me and my better half out of the theater while we were waiting for the Harry Potter movie to start. It looks heinous. I don't think even Giamatti could save that one.
