Surprising Trailer for 'At Any Price'

What's the surprise? Watch and see. Okay, I'll give you a hint. Here's what Roger Ebert says about the movie:
  • Dennis Quaid gives one of the performances of a lifetime
  • this film doesn't wrap things up in a tidy package. It is a great film about an American moral crisis. 
  • This is a brave, layered film that challenges the wisdom of victory at any price.
  • novelistic in its events and characters
Yeah, really. Ebert calls director Ramin Bahrani "The best new American director of recent years."

Watching the trailer, in the first few seconds, I couldn't help but be skeptical. It's just so formulaic. I thought comments by other reviewers were a joke. The trailer got better. And better. Then, there's Ebert's comment.

Totally stopped me in my tracks. Can't wait.

Smart People




So, I'm watching this trailer for the new indy 'Smart People' and I'm thinking, okay that looks good, this is well-made, not bad...then who appears? None other than Ellen Page. The cool cool new actor from 'Juno' who has such a natural energy on camera -- and, right away, just like that, 'Smart People' has must-see status. Page plays Dennis Quaid's daughter in this character-driven comedy. She's one to watch.



Kelsey Hubbard interviews three of the stars of 'Smart People' at Sundance, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thomas Heydan Church, and Quaid.
