Jeff, you will be pleased to know that the monthly hint dropped in Criterion's November newsletter today points to their release of The Friends of Eddie Coyle. If their usual modus operandi holds true, you can expect Coyle to be released in March or April. Specs and cover art should show up in either December or January.

The trailer is a bit more of a thriller than the movie actually is. In fact, NBTT is much more "All the President's Men" (a comparison I have now seen made by a few critics) than it is "The Pelican Brief". An outside shot for Beckinsale, Dillon, Alda, Farmiga, and Lurie. It is a really top notch film that will probably be buried at the box office. I can not believe it has taken until now to get a trailer out.

I'm seeing this for Farmiga, and no other reason.
And I have a hard time believing Beckinsale turns in better work then her here.

Looks fantastic.
And Lazarus -- u see Snow Angels? If so, you'd know that Beckinsale is capable of turing in an amazing performance.

I love this line: "The federal government is fighting for a principle too." Hell, it looks swell. I love that cast! Beckinsale, Dillon, Bassett, Farmiga, Alda-- not to mention Noah Wyle, David Schwimmer, Courtney B. Vance... Seriously, that's an odd and intriguing round-up of actors. And I certainly hope it's more "President's Men" than "Pelican Brief."

Actionman--I have seen Snow Angels, and thought Beckinsale was very good in it. But Farmiga is acting on a whole other level, and has few peers working right now, in my opinion. Have you seen Down to the Bone? L.A. Critics Circle gave her Best Actress for it.

This looks like a mediocre movie of the week on ABC. Not surprising since that purveyor of mediocrity, Rod Lurie, wrote and directed it. I can't remember one scene from The Last Castle or The Contender, two boring and consistently even-plain movies with no impact or anything to say whatsoever.
And are we supposed to be defending the rights of Robert Novak who put Valerie Plame's life in danger? Or the rights of Dick Cheney or Scooter Libby to hide under George W. Bush's coat-tails after clearly putting a CIA agent's life in danger because of a political disagreement?
I sat watching the trailer, expecting the story to be following the 'Plame' character and the danger her life was put in by the exposure and then felt stunned to realize the audience was supposed to be rooting for the reporter who endangered her life.
Is Lurie simply apologizing for the liberal point of view (and cop out ending) he displayed in The Contender or does he think his inevitably superficial defense of freedom of speech trumps the right of privacy and security of operatives working towards national security?

Boy, Filthy Rich, you really have no idea what this film is about, do you? Apology for Cheney and Novak? What the hell are you talking about? The film has done consistently well with most critics who all point out that it is not the Miller-Plame story.
