Doubt after-party at Hollywood Roosevelt hotel -- Thursday, 10.30.08, 10:55 pm.
The Vistor producer Michael London, star and likely Best Actor nominee Richard Jenkins at Arclight Cinema following post-screening q & a.
Doubt after-party at Hollywood Roosevelt hotel, marred only by lack of ventilation. I was feeling damper and stickier by the minute. I got through it by telling myself that Rudolph Valentino, John Barrymore, Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin must have felt even stickier when they attended parties at the Hollywood Roosevelt in the 1920s, when there was no a.c. at all.

I really hope that Jenkins gets a best actor nod for The Visitor.
Wells -- I know you can't post a full review of Doubt yet per Rudin's demands, but can you offer any minimal insight as to the overall quality of the film?

I gave my word and really can't say anything, but it's a class-A thing all the way. A critic I spoke to in the lobby after the screening called it an Elia Kazan movie, which is a high compliment in this context. As fierce, finely-tuned and generally knock-down as the performances by Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams are, the big revelation, for me and several others I spoke to, is the supporting performance by Viola Davis. She kills in one very intense scene with Streep. Davis is going to the front of the line in the Oscar Balloon right now.

Being a recovering Catholic, and still dealing with the guilt issues, I'm looking forward to this. Excellent cast, how can it go wrong?
