the debt

This is a movie review of The Debt, yea yea, not the most timely, but here yee be, in case you were curious what I thought:

New on DVD The Debt

The Debt, is rated R and has a runtime of 113 minutes and is distributed by Focus Features.  It’s a 2010 movie (a remake of the 2007 movie, Ha-Hov), starring Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkenson and Ciaran Hinds (Jessica Chastain, Marton Csokas and Sam Worthington).  The Debt was directed by John Madden (Killshot, Proof) off a screenplay written by Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass), Jane Goldman (X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass) & Peter Straughan (The Men Who Stare at Goats, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).

The Debt starts out at a book reading in 1997, where Rachel Singer (Mirren), who happens to be an ex-spy, is asked to read a section from a book that her daughter wrote, chronicling an interesting event in Singer’s past.  We then watch Stephen Gold (Wilkerson) picking up David Peretz (Hinds) to attend a function of some sort.  But Peretz steps in front of a bus and offs himself.

New Movies at the Box Office from Cinema Static 2011 logo 475w lq

This week the new movies coming out on Friday, December 9th, looking to do battle with vampires and Muppets include  include actors such as  Michelle Pfeiffer, Gary Oldman, Jonah Hill,  and quite a few more.

But will any of these new movies contend with the box office top-10 movies right now?  Maybe.  I can’t imagine they won’t at least show up on the chart unlike last week’s new contenders that didn’t contend.

Farther down I touch on production status of some of the more anticipated movies coming out next year (If there are any you are interested in, lemme know, I can look it up.) and a little movie news to boot!

First up of the new movies this week,

•      New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is directed by Garry Marshall (Valentine’s Day), and written by Katherine Fugate (Valentine’s Day & on TV: Army Wives).

The cast includes a rather popular ensemble, like Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Robert De Niro, Halle Berry, Cary Elwesm, Alyssa Milano, Common, Jessica Biel and many more!

If this one is anything like Valentine’s Day, it should be a fun film to go see.
