    Re: Reign Over Me (Cheadle & Sandler)

    I'm really really really looking forward to this movie. More so then I was for 300. I hope it's a tear jerker actually.

    I didn't know it comes out in two weeks. Can't wait!

      I downloaded that Pearl Jam song a few weeks ago after I heard it on the radio...I love it.

      As for the movie, maybe I'll catch it when it hits On Demand...I haven't been good about actually getting to theaters to see the movies I want to see lately lol

        I am sure it will be a good movie, but that is too heavy for me. I don't know what I would have done if that happen to me.

              I loved the song when the Who originally made it, and I like it with PJ as well. Usually, I don't enjoy remakes as well as the originals. I just received this week PJ's holiday single of Rockin in the Free World with Reign Over Me. PJ loves doing remakes of The Who and Neil Young. I don't go to movies for the song, either.

              2.5 stars in our paper. I'd like to see it, though.

                Can Sandler make something that isn't depressing these days? Click was the most over-dramatic movie I've ever seen. It's like he's trying too hard.

                  Some comedic actors try it.

                  Robin Williams- Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting
                  Bill Muarry- Lost in Translation, The Razors Edge
                  Jim Carrey- The Number 23
                  Eddie Murphy- Dreamgirls


                  I think it's great that some of these comedians go outside their comfort zone and tackle drama once in awhile.

                  I've read that Sandler pulls it off in this movie.

                    If he wants an oscar, then this is the only way it's gonna happen.

                      I'm not saying he shouldn't aim for drama, I think him and Jim Carey are very good non-comedic actors.

                      But it seems to me like Sandler is overdoing it w. the super sappy and over-dramatic films.

                        Both great movies, in my opinion.

                          Usually when once great comedians go for their Oscar is when they can't make good funny films anymore, or at least ones that sell.

                          As far as this movie goes, critically seems mixed reviews.

                            so about a C+? I'll probably catch this one on DVD... but I love that Sandler actually takes meaningful roles now... hell even 50 first dates had some emotional parts in it IMO.

                              I saw Liv Tyler in the clip...count me in. Also I read somewhere his family was supposed to die in 9/11...but in the preview it just says plane crash. I wonder if they changed that for some reason?

                                Nope. It's still about 9/11 I'm pretty sure.

                                I believe they say "the plane crash." Seeing as how it's placed in New York...everyone knows what that means.
