Primal Fear

This film has a list of stars including Richard Gere, Edward Norton, Frances McDormond, Laura Linney, Maura Tierney, Andre Braugha and Jon Seda and others.

I've a;ways enjoyed this film and I usually watch some films once a year depending on the length and time that I have. Sometimes I'll watch a few movies over the weekend since I have become addcted to a few television shows. I don't do cable so I don't record anything to watch later.
From time to time I might make an acception and watch a show the nect day on the Internet if it is available.

Primal Fear is one of those investigative dramas that centers on a trial of a teenager who appears to have multiple personalities. There are lots of twists along the way.
The performances by all of the actors is great, but Edward Norton sets the bar high for himself. He's done a few films where he has given great performances, but sometimes its hard to top certain performances.
My favorite Edward Norton films are American History X, Fight Club and I like The Score.
Recently he made a film called Stone in which he acts opposite Robert DeNiro again. It'a another film with several twists and it has a surprise ending.

Thanks for stopping by, keep an open mind.

Let's talk film

Priest - I watched Priest over the weekend. I’ve seen it many times and I still enjoy it. When the film was first released, the fact that the priest was gay was never a part of the previews. The trailer made us believe that the priest had secrets or possibly could have been abusing a young girl. The film challenges the bible and the oath that a priest takes dealing with parishioners in the confessional. If you’ve never seen this film and you’re a fan of Tom Wilkinson, Linus Roache or Robert Carlyle then you’ll enjoy the film.

Class of 1984 - This was a film that was over looked. The premise of the film works well in today’s society. Although the film takes a twist and becomes brutal, the talent in this film was extraordinary. Michael Fox who later became Michael J. Fox, Perry King, Roddy McDowell, Timothy Van Patten and Stephen Angram to name a few. This film is about what happens when the authorities can’t control the students in an urban high school. The film is set in the U.S., but was filmed in Canada using Canadian actors. The film is set in the 80’s with the punk rock movement and other trends of the period in the background. Give this cult classic a look see.

Primal Fear - This was the first time I had seen Edward Norton and he gave a flawless performance that was Oscar worthy. Richard Gere plays a lawyer out for fame who actually believes each person is innocent until proven guilty. When the broadcast of the crime is flashed on the screen he takes the opportunity to get in the lime light and represents Aaron Stemple pro bono. The tables begin to turn and the legal system gets dissected as we see good and bad from all sides. It’s one of my top 200 movies that stil holds up quite well. If you love court dramas, you are sure to like this one.
