Vera Farmiga Cocks Back On 'A Thousand Guns'

Farmgia has recenetly been cast in the lead of this western.

Details are new and scarce but I do know is that A Thousand Guns centers on a preacher's wife and her journey of revenge, is being directed by Spain's Daniel Calparsoro and written by Russell Friedenberg. Vera has had my eye since The Departed, where she stole every scene she was in, save for the the initial consolation in her office with Leo. This woman just proved her worth I saw years ago, after finally snagging and Oscar Nod with Up In The Air.  

The premise sounds more original then most as of late, and she's good, good enough to where I trust her to carry the film herself and get me in a seat. I know absolutely nothing about the director other than some Spanish TV movies.I will be keeping a good eye on this one and let you know what's good with it. 

Munki Out.

A Review: What Goes Up, Must Come Down, But Not This Film

In recent years, there isn't many directors who can say their movies went 3/3 out of the gate. Now, Jason Reitman (son of Ivan Reitman) didn't grab any Academy nod's for 2006's Thank You For Smoking, but that doesn't mean that he didn't grab the attention of everyone or it wasn't a great film. Then he hit it big with Juno in '07 with a best director nod. And now he's done it again with Up In The Air and pulled of well deserved Best Pic, Director and Adapted Screenplay nod's. 

Rietman is quickly establishing himself as the go-to for mainstream dramedys that don't suck. And for films that will stick with us, and always leave a lasting impression. Here is my review on a film that actually deserves it's Best Pic nod.
