I...Thanks for the heads up about Wuthering Heights. I vaguely remember reading some good things about it when it premiered, but it makes total sense that those might have more for cinematography, art direction and costumes.<br /><br />I can also see The Hobbit or Anna Karenina easily taking the place of Gambit, which is written by the Coens but being directed by someone else. That could be a sign that they didn't think it was a good enough script to make themselves, or that it was too lite to fall into the Oscar bait category. Especially with Cameron Diaz in it.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Paolo!NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-35519447611485720462012-03-04T17:37:55.822-08:002012-03-04T17:37:55.822-08:00Andrea Arnold can go lower on this list. Wuthering...Andrea Arnold can go lower on this list. Wuthering Heights is well photographed but the script is crude and underworked at best.<br /><br />I also have a feeling that The Hobbit might be on the final five to replace the Coens but that might be the populist inside me thinking that. I'm also rooting for Tom Stoppard for possibly putting energy into a long story like Anna Karenina.Paolohttp://okinawaassault.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-57443828914844591062012-03-02T09:27:48.331-08:002012-03-02T09:27:48.331-08:00From what I know of the story and director, I thin...From what I know of the story and director, I think Life Of Pi could be really good. It's biggest challenge in the USA is going to be that the actors aren't well known, which means it is going to have to pick up critics awards in order to get on the radar. At first I wondered if its holiday release date might make it too much like We Bought A Zoo, but the story seems much more adult, spiritual, etc. for that. Good luck with your pool!NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-81185134269573590372012-03-02T09:21:32.738-08:002012-03-02T09:21:32.738-08:00Thanks.

While it has the famous Coen brothers who did the screenplay, they aren't directing it, which makes me wonder if there's something wrong with it, or perhaps it is just too lite and funny for their style.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-81355893236246472532012-03-02T07:44:41.412-08:002012-03-02T07:44:41.412-08:00I'm counting on Life of Pi to score big.
