Can't wait to see it, but am glad that it's coming out later in the year ---

powerful performances near end of year = awards season.

Looks like Not Forgotten is no longer in theaters in Los Angeles and Phoenix

(per Fandango and Boxofficemojo).



Go here to see the breakdown of box office receipts:



http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=notforgotten.htm



The total overall is $53,723.



Wonder if it will ever get to other theaters.  Sure hope so.  The three

audience reviews at Fandango are very positive.

That's not looking very hopeful is it?

maybe we'll get a dvd release sooner?

Well, remember it was in only four theaters. :)



But if we don¹t hear something soon about an expansion to other theaters

(not even a New York release??) then I expect it will go to DVD. :(



So now I¹m keeping my fingers crossed that The Killer Inside Me gets a

nationwide release (most likely into arthouse theaters).  Just the other day

I found an article about the director, Michael Winterbottom, in Sight and

Sound (the magazine of the British Film Institute).  The piece was mostly

about Winterbottom¹s last movie, Genova (starring Colin Firth), but does

mention that his next project is The Killer Inside Me.

video eta has this on their site now, with a tentative September date. 

Amazon.co.uk is listing it for September as well.

That's what I'm hoping too Lori. I rarely go to the movies these days, but I

would have gone to see Simon on the big screen.

Watched Not Forgotten tonight (with Charlie the bulldog snoring while

draped across my leg... happiness is a warm bulldog!),



I confess for a minute I thought I was watching a sequel to the

Guardian, with Nick having adopted little Violet and moving to a Texas

border town and marrying some other brunette who was not Lulu. ;)

Yes, that's Chloe Moretz -- little Violet from a couple of episodes in

the third season of The Guardian -- as Toby, Simon's 11 year old

daughter-on-the-cusp-of-womanhood in Not Forgotten.



Simon is respected businessman (and coach of a girls' soccer team)

Jack Bishop in the town of Del Rio, Texas. His first wife (Toby's mom)

is dead and he is remarried to a beautiful young Mexican-American

woman, Maya, played by Paz Vega. Then one day Toby is kidnapped from

her soccer game, and Jack launches his own investigation, which in

turn leads to the revelation of secrets and a different self he

thought long dead and buried, and the unraveling of his carefully

constructed new life.  If you've seen the trailer, you've seen some of

what he had left behind, but there are about three twists after

that. ;) It's a story about people not being what they seem to be on

the surface, that violence begets violence, even years later, and the

bad things you did are eventually going to come back to bite you in

the nether regions.



The movie isn't flawless -- it can be rather slow on one hand, and

then feverish and almost hallucinatory on the other.  The Mexican

community may not be pleased with its depiction as largely consisting

of deadly religious cultists, prostitutes, criminals, corrupt cops,

and women who sit around watching telenovelas all the time.  (My

husband watches a telenovela every night -- nothing wrong in that!)

Speaking of which, as a former Spanish major, I was thrilled to hear

Simon speaking quite a bit of Spanish dialogue.  He needs to work on

his accent but really, he did it pretty well. ;)



This is probably Simon's most gorily graphic movie after zombie flick

Land of the Dead. And yet, ironically, he is at his most, er, hot when

he's shirtless, sweaty, beserk and slicing someone up with a broken

bottle. (Much blood ensues, though thanks to crafty editing, you don't

actually see the slicing, you just see the result.)  However, the

scariest thing in this movie isn't the violence but a close-up at the

end of the movie.  You'll know what I mean when you see it.



Apart from the hot and shirtless thing :)  Simon is pretty dang great

in this, transitioning flawlessly from mild-mannered to frenzied and

murderous.  You realize something is wrong with this guy when Jack

sees a man who is a suspect in the kidnapping and he starts pounding

on a big glass window that separates him from the man.  Everything

he's been holding in for years is suddenly unleashed and he looks like

he's about to go mad.  Although Simon has played many emotionally

tortured characters, this performance, with Jack's deliberate

duplicity, rage and homicidal ferocity, is something we haven't seen

from him before.  Intense is the word.



The rest of the cast is adequate to good (Moretz is very fine).



Just be warned about the blood.  And they cut the head off a chicken.

I'm sure it's a fake chicken but it's still pretty gross.



The movie looks excellent on Blu-Ray, though you can see every crease

in Simon's face.  Sunscreen and a big hat are your friends, Simon!



The disc also has a short (6 mins) interview with director Dror Soref

and another man who is one of the producers.  These two also have a

commentary, which I haven't listened to yet.  That's going to have to

wait until tomorrow night. :)

All those dogs and rats sounds like my idea of domestic TV-watching

heaven. :)



It's quite something to see Simon, who is perfect as Jane, a man with

no discernible physical skills (other than using his hands most

gracefully) turns without blinking an eye into a character who was a

highly skilled assassin with a murderous violent streak that comes

roaring out from its hiding place.



My favorite Patrick Jane bit of derring do is...



No, not the time he elbowed a hypnotized Rigsby in the ribs (it was

Rigsby, wasn't it?) to try to escape during "Russet Potatoes"



Not the time he tried to drive the SUV out of the parking lot while

blinded in "Blood Shot"...



Not the time he shot sheriff Hardy at the end of "Red John's

Footsteps..."



It's the time he used his foot to push a block of concrete against a

fence gate so the bad guy trying to escape through the backyard got

boinged by the fence when it wouldn't open as he tried to rush

through. :)



I think that's in "The Thin Red Line" but I'm not 100 percent sure.

LOL you painted quite a picture there, I can only guess that they get

along well. But what happens when you have to get up & take a break?



Tia, who watches TM alone.
