Kim Richards ("Black Snake Moan") and Ike Eisenmann ("Howl's Moving Castle"), the original kid stars of Disney's 1970s "Witch Mountain" movies, have joined the cast of Disney's remake "Race to Witch Mountain" says Reuters.

 

In a nod to the original movies, Eisenmann plays a sheriff and Richards plays a waitress at a roadhouse called Ray's in a town called Stony Creek. They help a cabbie (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) and his two paranormal-powered passengers (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig).

 

Tom Everett Scott, Chris Marquette, Billy Brown and Cheech Marin also recently joined the production which Andy Fickman is helming.

 

Scott is playing a medical specialist, Marquette is a computer specialist, and Brown is a military specialist working for the bad guy (Ciaran Hinds). Marin plays a helpful mechanic

American Gangster. I found it kind of blah.

Me also. I have this theory that Denzel Washington's reputation exceeds his talent. That might be Pop Culture Blasphemy. For the record, I love him in Mo Better Blues & Malcolm X. And St. Elsewhere and Glory.

It was one of those films that couldn't make up it's mind what it wanted to be. If that makes sense. Serpico? Scarface? Godfather 3? Uggh. It just felt like a compilation of borrowed scenes with different actors. Very little original voice. It almost felt like an SNL sketch. Maybe even that MAD TV show.

I dunno. I might change that to: His talent for acting exceeds his talent for picking scripts. (I do think he has a fairly limited range... but within that range he is really something.)

It was looooong, and certainly not an action packed flick, but I really enjoyed it. I thought Casey Affleck gave a great performance, and Brad Pitt was surprisingly believable. Some of the cinematography was gorgeous.

 

And damnit, Bob Ford was a coward.

Really underrated. It was long, but never slow, and I was completely engrossed in its vision of celebrity culture. A masterpiece, I think.

It was definitely more of a biopic than a western. After seeing it I think it was misrepresented when it was advertised. Maybe because it came out at the same time as 3:10 To Yuma it didn't have its own identity. I would definitely watch it again. I found myself thinking about it long after it was over.

Reservation Road is exceedingly well-acted--I remain convinced that Mark Ruffalo is our Montgomery Clift--but the story is frustratingly pedestrian, and too willing to embrace melodrama.

Had my only little private showing at the theater this morning.

Must have rolled my eyes every two minutes...it was really something.

 

 

I cannot wait - it looks like the most unintentionally hilarious movie of the year.

Even John Derbyshire over at National Review was left aghast by the movie's attack on the scientific method (one of the great contributions of Western civilization, according to Derbyshire). He said, "Civilization is a thin veneer... Reason and science are bulwarks against the dark."
