Eastern Promises

Ross beat me to posting about the new Eastern Promises one sheet over at Movie Patron.

I really like the look of this poster although I do agree with Movie Poster Addict in that it really doesn’t need Viggo Mortensen or Naomi Watts face on it. But that is a small gripe. There is just something powerful about the tatooed hands.

I don’t think I’ve posted the trailer up here for it either. So here it is.

I guess mainly I just have to say that I’m really looking forward to this movie. Mostly because of Vincent Cassel and David Cronenberg. I always enjoy Cassel in his movies and Cronenberg movies are usually done in a style I enjoy. I do hope though that it doesn’t cop out like History of Violence did. That movie had such potential to show the effects of violence on a family and friends of the family but ended up spending 20-30 minutes showing just how cool the main character was by going after his brother.

Row Three

Our Partners

Row Three is a collaborative film website that aims to foster discussion and community for those who like their cinema a bit Hollywood, a bit indie and a bit foreign. Formed and run by a collective of writers who try to stray from summer blockbusters and the so-called "popcorn" flicks in favor of a bit more upscale fare. We are not always successful in this endeavor; nonetheless we all love to talk movies and we hope to build a place for everyone to join in on the conversation.
