'Iceman' Review

Can't wait to buy this Blu-ray.

Trailer for 'The Iceman'

I've been waiting for this one. Based on Richard Kuklinski's work (hit the link for background).

Looks fantastic. Michael Shannon is perfect for the role. Good to see Winona Ryder -- really moving performance, even from the snippets we get. A nice turn by James Franco. Always good to see Ray Liotta. A nice role for Chris Evans.

Don't see this doing great theatrical business (don't hold me to that, though) but should score on TV/cable/rental, etc., and make a great Blu-ray purchase. Looking forward to the making-of footage.

Must-see for movie buffs. I can see 'The Iceman' taking its place among great crime flicks.

Poster for Brad Pitt's 'Killing Them Softly'

With James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, Sam Rockwell, Ray Liotta, and Sam Shepard. Directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Chopper).

Based on the novel by George Higgins. Originally titled 'Cogan's Trade' which made me wince. When I first heard that title I figured I would never get around to seeing this. 'Killing Them Softly' is so much better.

Very confident poster.

The (new) title and this poster alone practically make this must-see no matter what it's about or who's in it. That is, you could make a movie with just about anybody and just about any plot and, as long as you called it 'Killing Them Softly' and used this poster, I'd want to see it.

Yes. Thank you. I will.
