Hopefully Badass Movies of the Fall Pt. 2

Quantum of Solace- Picking up from Casino Royale, Daniel Craig plays arguably the best James Bond in history. Capturing Bond as the rugged live wire that Ian Fleming seemed to envision when he created the infamous spy. (Nov. 14th)

The Soloist- Jamie Foxx may of finally picked his first good movie since Ray, as he plays a classical music prodigy who has found himself sleeping on the streets of L.A. The film also stars newly revived Robert Downey Jr. (Chaplin, Iron Man) and Catherine Keener (Capote) whom I swear never picks a bad movie. (Nov. 21st)

Milk- Sean Penn is obviously looking for another Oscar with his portrayal of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected into public office. Penn is surrounded by hot upcoming actors such as Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild, Lords of Dogtown) and James Franco (Spiderman). The film is also directed by Oscar nominated Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Finding Forester). (Nov. 26th)

Doubt- Starring Meryl Streep (The Deer Hunter, Out of Africa) as a nun who confronts a priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) about abusing a black student. The movie has a lot of potential and it should be interesting to see how John Patrick Stanley directs the film, given he has only directed one other motion picture (Joe Verses the Volcano). (Dec. 12th)

The Class- A French film about a high school teacher who has trouble getting through to his students. There is not very much information about this film, but it did win the prestigious Golden Palm d'Or at Cannes this year. (Dec. 25h)

Revolutionary Road- One big reason to see this movie, it's directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition). Starring Leonardo DiCaprio (The Departed, Gangs of New York) and Kate Winslet (Iris, Little Children) as a young married couple having trouble dealing with conforming to the 1950's lifestyle. (Dec. 26th)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button- Possibly the most hyped movie of the fall, stars Brad Pitt (Babel) as Benjamin Button who was "born under unusual circumstances," as a man who was born in his eighties and ages backwards. Adapted from the F. Scott Fitzgerald short story by Charlie Kaufman, this movie has everybody talking Oscars. (Dec. 25th)
