The Informers: Convoluted and Boring
Greed is good. Sex is easy. Youth is forever.
2009 Sundance Spotlight: Brooklyn's Finest, The Informers, 500 Days of Summer
While I won't be heading down to the 2009 Sundance Film Festival this year, I will be sorting through the humongous pile of festival entries to share with you some of the films I think look most promising. From quirky documentaries to talented young filmmaker debuts to a potential runaway hit, Sundance is filled with entertainment possibilities. Here are today's selections:
Brooklyn's Finest
Directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), Brooklyn's Finest just became this year's first sale at Sundance.
Eagle Eye: Absurd . . . ly Fun
The story of Big Brother watching and controlling all of the helpless citizens in Eagle Eye might be more effective if it weren't quite so preposterous. That said, this movie intends to thrill and entertain, and it succeeds on all counts. It holds your attention with all the plot twists and the bombardment of explosions, the kind of explosions that make a certain audience cheer.
Billy Bob, Ashley Olsen, Basinger Are The Informers
Check out this interesting-looking cast.
This film project brings together some interesting folks: Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Ashley Olsen, Brandon Routh, Jon Foster and Lou Pucci are all set to star in The Informers, based on a collection of short stories by Bret Easton Ellis.

TV Tonight: Friday Night Lights, the Movie
Before it was a fantastic TV show, Friday Night Lights was a bestselling nonfiction book about a Texas high school football team that became a 2004 movie starring Billy Bob Thornton. The movie premieres on FX tonight, and it's a great mix of character drama and thrilling football action.
The movie sticks closer to the book than the TV series does, but both show the impact of the team's victories — and defeats — on a dusty, depressed small town that doesn't have a lot else going for it.
