Saw it in Toronto, knew right away it was fine and solid, can't write about it until tomorrow.

Any chance of a Ruffalo surprise? From what someone said (I think Sneider), this is more of a substance abuse movie than the trailer lets on. God he's so overdue. His Toschi is becoming my favorite film character of the decade.

I'm with you on Ruffalo. He should have 2 or 3 nominations by now.

His performances in You Can Count On Me and Zodiac are two of my favorite performances. Ever.

This film is the mean Palookaville, from the trailer there doesn't seem to be any acting in this film at all. I hope you hard core cinema people like it, I am going to stay far away
for fear of the kind of people who will pay to see this.
btw salutations on your natal day Mr Konigsberg happy 73
and can't to see Whatever Works

Burmashave, wanted to express my sincere thanks for the heads up on my family's possible portrayal in Mad Men,. I'm not positive it was them only because my great grandfather George Washington Hill died in 1946 before the years Mad Men portrays. Still he and his son were the only father-son execs running American Brands. For what it's worth here are their resoective obits

azmoviegoer, no problem. It was definitely a father-son team, they were introduced as the Lucky Strike people that's all I know for sure.

As for Ruffalo, I was just flipping through channels and watched a few minutes of 13 GOING ON 30 of all things, and I've decided it's time: Mark Ruffalo. Brando bio-pic. Now.

How about a biopic that centers on Brando's last stage work in a summer-stock production of ARMS AND THE MAN--when Brando was feeling his superstar oats and not terribly interested in the stage. Ruffalo as Brando and Paul Giamatti as friend/antagonist William Redfield, who wants Brando to avoid throwing away his gifts as an actor.

I hope, as the trailer suggests, Hawke is much better here than he was in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. I realize the movie was a melodrama, but every time he was on screen I felt like I was watching a performance. Didn't get that with Hoffman or Finney... not that I don't expect much better things from them to begin with...

Hawke's real-life bad teeth fits right in ...

Noticed Donnie Wahlberg in it. Shame he had to take the money and tour with the New Kids. He's a good actor.

Ruffalo's always good. His day will come.
