Aaron Guzikowski's original script...<a href="http://variety.com/gallery/eye-on-the-oscars-top-awards-contenders/#!24/prisoners/" rel="nofollow"><b>“Prisoners”</b></a><br /><i>Aaron Guzikowski's original script is being praised for its twists and turns, and director Denis Villeneuve (the Oscar-nominated “Incendies”) delivers a tense mystery-thriller that keeps audiences guessing. But it also features an ensemble of fantastic actors giving it their all. Hugh Jackman is heartbreaking as the determined father of a missing girl who resorts to kidnapping a suspect — in a less crowded year, he would be a lock for a lead actor nod. Jake Gyllenhaal is impressive as the detective who both argues and empathizes with the distraught parents, and the fact he's being campaigned in supporting makes him the best shot for an acting nomination from an ensemble that includes Maria Bello, Terrence Howard and Viola Davis. While not always easy to watch, the film is bold and uncompromising — a thriller for adults that never insults its audience. — Jenelle Riley</i><br /><br />Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770238465259468762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-43223768308645806312013-11-13T15:45:56.257-05:002013-11-13T15:45:56.257-05:00Variety: Gary Ross (“Pleasantville” and “The Hunge...<a href="http://variety.com/gallery/directors-on-directors/#!20/gary-ross-on-denis-villeneuve-director-of-prisoners/" rel="nofollow">Variety</a>: <i><b>Gary Ross (“Pleasantville” and “The Hunger Games”) on Denis Villeneuve, Director of "Prisoners"</b><br /><br />It's hard to feel more agonizingly tense than you do while watching Denis Villeneuve's “Prisoners.” I saw it alone and hugged my kids the minute I got home.<br /><br />It's fashionable to dismiss “suspense films” as a lesser “genre,” but many are their directors' masterworks: “The Shining,” “Rosemary's Baby,” “Alien,” of course “Psycho.” Hitchcock never won an Oscar, but it wasn't long before Truffaut was writing a book about him.<br /><br />There is a methodical pace, a stillness, a bleak, spare landscape whose brown and frozen palate is so undesigned it deconstructs the very idea that you are in a movie. In fact, there is so much arresting restraint in ”Prisoners” that the “filmmaking” falls away, and soon you are fully immersed in the nightmare of this small American town. Roger Deakins' work is remarkable.<br /><br />It isn't so much about the banality of evil as it is the evil of banality. This could be you or me or anyone or anywhere. It's the plausibility of the premise, the ease with which this nightmare unfolds that plunges you headlong into it.</i>Hagennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-88986352816894016472013-11-13T11:01:45.073-05:002013-11-13T11:01:45.073-05:00"He probably could have done Into the Woods, ..."He probably could have done Into the Woods, as well, given this schedule"<br /><br /><br />I just want to hear him sing an entire song...maybe he will surprise us all and do a limited run Broadway musical which would be outside the box of a movie musical or an animated musical story. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-19617247220427922332013-11-13T10:11:25.489-05:002013-11-13T10:11:25.489-05:00Forgot also - very interesting that Prisoners was ...Forgot also - very interesting that Prisoners was supposed to be NC-17 I wonder what was cut.UltraViolethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067526049573049270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-18717837751680639582013-11-13T10:08:31.420-05:002013-11-13T10:08:31.420-05:00Oh, I know that's why he dropped out.
