Director: Paul Verhoeven
Writers: David Birke, Harold Manning
Words cannot describe how excited we are to see the pairing of Paul Verhoeven and Isabelle Huppert in an adaptation of a thriller by Philippe Dijan (Betty Blue). The film is the first French language production for Verhoeven, and his first feature since 2006’s Black Book (yes, he had a medium length film, Tricked, in 2012). Verhoeven took the time to learn French before going into production, and we initially thought he might be ready to unveil by the end of 2015 since the shoot was half completed last February. Huppert stars as Michelle, the CEO of a gambling software company who is violently assaulted in her home one night by an assailant. Refusing to let the experience alter her disposition, she begins to stalk the perpetrator herself when he again makes his presence known.
Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Laurent Lafitte, Charles Berling, Anna Consigny,...

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards were a fairly lackluster affair, highlighted perhaps by the strange white woman who Kanye'd the winner of an Oscar for a short film. Otherwise, Neil Patrick Harris' opening number wasn't all that thrilling, other than the fact that it was Nph; Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin were conservative and only intermittently funny; and the best presenters went to Tina Fey and Robert Downey, Jr. The night's low point? Twilight being included in the horror-movie montage.
And Sandra Bullock. Huh? Jesus. Likable as all hell, but ... oh, whatever. She's kind of too nice to allow myself to get too bent out of shape. But Sandra Bullock? Are you fucking kidding me?
It wasn't actually as painful as I thought it'd be. And having Bullock and Bigelow win back to back, followed by The Hurt Locker for Best Picture was kind of a nice way to end the night.
