Fall is officially in full swing, and that means that all the major movie studios are celebrating the season by releasing their Oscar-bait projects. These are the pictures that feature less “badass action” and more “sensitive, nuanced performances by Philip Seymour Hoffman and Sean Penn.” So, rather than reviewing all of these films individually, we decided to do what any dedicated movie-goer would do: judge them based on their trailers.
Let’s take a look and decide whether or not these films are likely to bag an Academy Award a few months from now…

Stone hits theaters with a thump. This is a film packed to the brim with ideas and a lot of potential. The fact that you have Robert De Niro and Edward Norton facing off in some pretty intense scenes definitely helps the film as a whole. Sadly it lacks any grand significance in the end that you’ll be craving after going through such an intense experience — but then again, that might just be the point, you don’t always get what you want.

John Curran, the writer of The Killer Inside Me, and the director of The Painted Veil and We Don’t Live Here Anymore, bring us yet another tricky film to contemplate, Stone. The project was written by Angus McLachlan and directed by himself. We first saw a trailer for this film back in September ’09 (which we had to take down) and as of this summer they’ve updated their trailer and have finally been pushing the film for release.
Though the story seems to be the usual crime twist with Robert De Niro and Edward Norton, but once you add in Milla Jovovich’s character everything’s up in the air. If there’s one thing that’s for sure it’s that Curran knows how to take his audience on both physical and mental journeys.

Robert De Niro and Edward Norton reunite for the indie drama Stone, directed by John Curran. The Stone trailer debut today, and from the looks of it, the movie seems more like the story of a love-triangle with a crime twist. Movies with love-triangles are overrated, and sadly, it’s always the woman who’s called a whore, but when two men like De Niro and Norton are involved, all clichés go out the window, especially when the woman is Milla Jovavich. Check out the trailer…

Earlier this year we told you about the indie drama Stone, that reunites Robert De Niro and Edward Norton. It seems like just yesterday we were reporting on their casting, and now a trailer has already been released. Stone is directed by John Curran, and centers on a correctional officer who’s seduced by the wife of a convicted arsonist (Norton) up for parole. Let me preface this trailer by saying it is not safe for work.
Be careful, because plenty of nudity and foul language will ensue…
