congrats, sounds awesome (Nothing Bad)...

Posted by: lobogotti on May 22, 11:46 in response to Moviesnob's post I closed on Nothing Bad Can Happen today. That and...

"The young Tore seeks in Hamburg a new life among the religious group called The Jesus Freaks. When he by accident meets a family and helps them to repair their car, he believes that a heavenly wonder has helped him. He starts a friendship with the father of the family, Benno. Soon he moves in with them at their garden plot, not knowing what cruelty is there to come. True to his religious belief he stays with them although the increasing violence by Benno is torturing him. Tore is fighting the torment with his own weapons. So a dangerous struggle between libidinous actions and altruism begins. Inspired by true events."

sad to read that Only God Forgives had a bad reception coming out of Cannes... lobogotti May 22, 10:59

that actually explains why TWC-Radius is handling it... Oleg Max May 22, 11:06

radius always had it. they prebought it years ago before the film was complete. Tom Quinn handled several Refn films in the past Moviesnob May 22, 11:21

hmm. i thought Radius was created just about a year ago... {nm} Oleg Max May 22, 11:23

to handle sub-prime TWC flicks {nm} Oleg Max May 22, 11:23

company formed right before toronto in 2011, this was literally their first acquistion {nm} Moviesnob May 22, 11:26

they do their own movies. they are/have released some TWC films/dumps, but thats not the norm. {nm} Moviesnob May 22, 11:28

i see. thx for the info {nm} Oleg Max May 22, 11:36

Yeah I was thinking the same absolutley loved DRIVE.... also greatly dissapointed with the Hangover 3 reviews wich I was also gogreenytd May 22, 11:06

ouch, just read this one.. "The good news is that "The Hangover Part III" isn't a rerun like the second episode. The bad news is everything lobogotti May 22, 11:11

No wonder TWC is releasing it through Radius simultaneously with VOD. {nm} Antibody May 22, 11:07

yep, will be happy to watch it at home that much quicker. I hope it's not horrible though {nm} lobogotti May 22, 11:11

Booing is exaggerated. I was at Shield of Straw and it had a handful but some press claimed it was a riot numbersix_99 May 22, 11:18

did you see it and if so, your thoughts? lobogotti May 22, 11:22

I saw it. Its not Drive, but its not bad either. Its got great moments, but the story isnt strong enough to match the style {nm} Moviesnob May 22, 11:30

I read the screenplay and thought it was certainly interesting. sad it's not Drive, but that's a lot to live up to. lobogotti May 22, 11:36

btw, your opinion on best out of Cannes thus far? {nm} lobogotti May 22, 11:42

I closed on Nothing Bad Can Happen today. That and Borgman have been my favorites. Its been a pretty good year between the market and the Moviesnob May 22, 11:44

congrats, sounds awesome (Nothing Bad)... lobogotti May 22, 11:46

Borgman looks great too... lobogotti May 22, 11:48

Drive was my favorite film of 2011 but I HATED Valhalla Rising MiyazakiFan May 22, 11:59

yeah, Rising was not too good IMO {nm} lobogotti May 22, 12:23

i think its more in common with Bronson than VR (which I loved loved loved), but its pretty different from everything hes done {nm} Moviesnob May 22, 14:20

Well deserved after that Drive nonsense {nm} thatpj May 22, 19:44
