style="text-decoration: underline;">Synopsis:</span></p><blockquote><p>As parole officer Jack Mabry (Robert De Niro) counts the days toward a quiet retirement, he is asked to review the case of Gerald “Stone” Creeson (Ed Norton), in prison for covering up the murder of his grandparents with a fire. Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man’s decision have profound and unexpected effects on them both. Stone skillfully weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses, as the line between lawman and lawbreaker becomes precariously thin.  The film’s superb ensemble features Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) as Lucetta, Stone’s sexy, casually amoral wife, and Golden Globe® winner Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) as Madylyn, Jack’s devout, long-suffering spouse.  Set against the quiet desperation of economically ravaged suburban Detroit and the stifling brutality of a maximum security prison, this tale of passion, betrayal and corruption examines the fractured lives of two volatile men breaking from their troubled pasts to face uncertain futures.</p></blockquote><p><strong><span

This is as perfect a time as any to point out that recently Bale was quoted as saying he used Tom Cruise as a model for his <em>Psycho</em> role. I don&#8217;t know whether or not Cruise should take that as a compliment.</p><p><a

style="text-decoration: line-through;"> put pen to paper</span> type up my list. A long time ago ESPN.com&#8217;s Bill Simmons<a
href="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/movies/varsityblues"> started his list of the best 72 sports movies </a>of the past 33 years, but the list is incomplete and I worry it may never be finished — come on Bill! Then there was the news we reported of the <a
href="http://www.atomicpopcorn.net/robert-de-niro-to-play-vince-lombardi-for-espn/">Vince Lombardi project </a>starring Robert De Niro in the lead role which got the folks over at the Dallas Morning News asking<a
href="http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/03/who-would-you-chose-to-play-tom-landry-i.html"> who would play Tom Landry</a><span
style="text-decoration: line-through;"> if</span> when he is immortalized on the big screen. Finally the A.V. Club put together <a
href="http://www.avclub.com/articles/we-arent-the-champions-11-sports-movies-where-the,38910/?utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=feeds&amp;utm_source=avclub_rss_daily">their list of 11 sports movies </a>where the losers are winners. I sincerely apologize to basketball and March Madness as there will be no basketball movies on this list (<em>Hoosiers </em>and<em> Teen Wolf</em> just aren&#8217;t my cup o&#8217; tea.) So let&#8217;s get to my favorites!</div><div>Baseball is Hollywood&#8217;s favorite sport to bring to the silver screen so it&#8217;s not surprising that I&#8217;ve got seven baseball movies here. One about a kid that pitches for an MLB team: <em>Rookie of the Year</em>, another that owns and operates an MLB team: <em>Little Big League</em>. Of course you&#8217;ve got the traditional stories about kids playing baseball during summer break with other kids (<em>The Sandlot</em>) and kids talking with angels to help their favorite baseball team win, <em>Angels in the Outfield</em>.</div><div

For those who watched the Rodriguez/Tarantino collaborative feature Grindhouse, Rodriguez had the first mock trailer on it of said film. Featuring badass Danny Trejo as the main character slashing his way through this Mex-ploitation film, who wasn&#8217;t excited for it when we all found out it was going to eventually blow up into an awesome feature length film?</p><p>Along with this, the folks at Entertainment Weekly &amp; Ain&#8217;t It Cool are throwing in that they already join a wide cast that includes Robert De Niro, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez, but not Jonah Hill like rumors have stated. Even though this is quite the wide range of acting talents, he has not disappointed before with showing what he can do with them, just like with the 2005 hit Sin City. Machete is set to be released sometime in 2010, so keep on the lookout for it in the future (I will).</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.atomicpopcorn.net/lohan-and-seagal-meet-machete/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
