I have not seen that. Might have to drop it in the NetFlix queue.

Have you seen Rescue Dawn yet?

A must-rent for Bale fans.

I’m with Rob on that – The Prestige and Batman Returns – he did a really good job in. I think he has progressed fairly well as an actor.

If CB is in it then you know I’m watching. Although I’m hoping he’ll someday do another mushy girl movie for me. I watch Little Women, Newsies and Swing Kids regularly for that

CB in the terminator. I’m at least intrigued. T3 was OK, but hopefully with Arnold out of the way they can take the franchise in a new direction. Lot’s to explore in the post-apocalyptic new world run by Skynet.

That’s too bad you didn’t enjoy the movie. I thought the entire film was good and wasn’t just waiting for the payoff I guess. Although it has been awhile.

It probably isn’t a movie for everyone, it’s pretty depressing and slow moving at times.

You are starting to make me second guess myself in renting Harsh Times. i think it’s sitting at home from our Blockbuster queue.

I’ll certainly give you that Bale’s self-transformation in “The Machinist” was an incredible act of dedication. He became so gaunt and skeletal, it was kinda painful to even watch. But the movie just fell flat for me. The payoff was weak and the buildup was way too bizarro!

But y’know, there’s so much of the “magic” of movies that’s either made or broken in the editing room long after the shooting has completed that I don’t entirely fault Bale for the duds. It’s rare that his acting is anything less than stellar – although “Harsh Times” was pure crap any which way you wanna look at it.
