New CINDERELLA MAN Trailer Beats Ya Like A Flank Steak!
Hey folks, Harry here... The "A BEAUTIFUL MIND" team of Ron Howard, Akiva Goldsman & Russell Crowe are putting on the mitts and swinging hard this summer with a film, that in all likelihood will come across out of the audience's blind spot - to knock em clean out for the count. The test screening on this film back in like late November - early December was a real stunner. It left our spies clamoring that it was the best film they'd seen all year - and that was in rough form. Now, the first trailer was just a softee... a setting the era, atmosphere and context for the story they were telling. There was nearly no fisticuffs in any of it. Well - this time out the trailer perfectly captures all of that, while also showing Russell Crow the way we like him... Beating the living shit out of people for our pleasure! Yeah! This is what's for supper! Here ya go:
They didn't call him CINDERELLA MAN on account of a Glass Jaw, that I guarantee ya!

another crappy drama for the mentally chalenged. Patronising crap, that will look like a tear-jerker, but would be hollow and pointless.
-
But Mr. T would make it just a smidge better.
-
"Intense boxing violence and some language"...So if there was no talking in the film it would get a lower rating? How about if the fighting was without gloves and a ring? Would that get a lower or higher rating?
-
The prime example of Oscar bait. I bet there will be lots of crying in this movie. AKIVA still owes his soul to satan for winning that oscar!! Remember this dude wrote LOST IN SPACE and the SCHUMAKER BATMANS PEOPLE!
-
The "emotional Oscar-bait" music library just went out of business.
-
I'm sick of Zellweger and her put-upon pouty face. she pushed it over the edge in Cold Mountain, and she's been there ever since. She needs to take off from making movies for a while, and come back in a female super-hero movie, or something. No more period pictures! No more poor or suffering ladies!

...meaning that Opie will reject it a month before the movie comes out and hire James Horner to re-score it. "Danger Motif" ahoy! The whole project reeks of Oscar Masturbation.
-
Although I'm a sucker for period, "based on a true story" films. I wonder when "emotional Oscar-bait" music will have some evolving sensibilites. Its turning into parody already.
-
Don't get me wrong...this looks like it oughtta be a good flick. Oscar bait? Sure thing! But keeeeripes!! I liked this movie the first time when it was called "Seabiscuit." Just like I liked "Gladiator" the first time when it was called "Braveheart." I can't imagine it'll win Best Picture this year though...I mean, the Academy is fickle and they won't want two boxing movies to win best picture twice in a row. 'Course, I haven't seen it so it may just be as good as Seabiscuit...the little movie that shoulda but didn't. I tell ya, you wanna write a picture about rising over adversity, set it in the 1930s...

Maybe I'll enjoy this movie, maybe I won't. From the trailer, it seems like a good cast except for Renee Zellweger. She seems fake acting alongside Crowe, and her pouty-faced routine grates on me. But any movie with a Thomas Newman score makes me happy, or the score does at least, so maybe I'll check this one out.
-
...I see no reason to see the movie. I mean what's the point? There's the plot all revelaed in the Cliff Notes we now call movie trailers. Am I going to drive, fight for parking, pay $10, suffer through the insufferable movie talkers, and 2.5 hours of no surprries -- just to see if he wins, lives, or dies?
That would be a "hell no."
And Renee SUCKED in "Cold Mountain" which SUCKED as a movie as well. I'm sick of her lips and sick of her schtick and sick of her whiny raspy little squeaky annoying voice. She sounds like Jerry The Mouse after a lifetime of whiskey, cigarettes, and prostiution.
At least this isn't a remake. Or a sequel. Or an old TV show. Or a re-imagining. Give them that. It may even be a good movie. But the trailer spilled the beans. I can wait for HBO to see how the fight ends. Or, you know, look it up on the internet. Sheesh. -
I love this piece of music, but man, is it getting over used. Randy Edelman must be living high of the royalties for that tune.

Oy! Today we're gonna look at the 1920's and 30's, known as the Golden Age of Fightin'. Jim Braddock, was one of the greatest and most colorful boxers in modern fisticuffs from that time. Braddock attended Saint Joseph's Parochial School in one of the best places for fighting in North America- West New York, NJ. In a classroom of 35 boys, fightin' was pretty commonplace. One of his reoccurring opponents was a boy named Jimmy Morris for whom Braddock beat the tar out of nearly 30 times. Another boy named Elmer Furlong was Braddocks first KO. He would routinely beat up his whole class just for bein' pussies and playin' with puppies. He quit school and started working and boxing and would fight nearly 100 bouts. Now that's some good fightin'. People called him the nickname "Cinderella Man" and he would kick there ass. Then, on the evening of June 13th, 1935, Braddocks years of determination would pay off as his victory over Max Baer would earn him the title of Heavyweight Champion of the World! Well, that's all for now! Tugger's whistle's blowin' Means we must be goin' No more Russell Crowein' for you. But now don't you start to whine I'll see ya again next time. 'Cause there's plenty a-more a-foightin' left to do. Makin' movies, makin' songs, an' foightin' round the world! See you next time everybody!

I can't fucking STAND him as a person. Faggot.

Again, this has been well stated before I arrived. Rehashed, swelling music, Renee's meaningful looks. Thanks to the public's addiction to mind numbing television, Hollywood can put this regurgitated crap out again and again and call it art. People will spend their hard earned dollars thinking they were entertained, because they felt the predictable emotions they are programmed to feel.
-
Good lord, if that man's scores don't all sound exactly alike... Hey, Ron! I hope you like marimbas, because you're going to be hearing a lot of them!
-
1) Pick sport. 2) Set movie during Depression or other troubled time in history. 3)Have underdog hero win big GO!
-
... the source of so many "feel good" films? And yet movies set in the prosperity of the '50s, like Far From Heavan, can be so bleak, and dare I say it -- depressing. For all you film students out there, feel free to expound on that in a term paper or two.
-
Paul Giamatti. Best Supporting Actor. Goddamnit.
-
Pretty much 90% of all movie trailers use music from other movies, because the score usually isn't recorded until about two months (or less) before the movie comes out. Plus, movie studios like to create a subliminal connection to another, popular movie. Thus virtually every Christmas and/or "magical" movie trailer uses Edward Scissorhands. And to Godardwhowhatnow, Thomas Newman is one of THE best film composers working today. It's a fucking travesty that James Horner has an Oscar, but Newman doesn't.
-
cliched, formulaic, manufactured, begging for an oscar that it won't get, piece of shit.
-
But Russell Crowe is an AMAZING actor. The character of Jim Braddock looks like he's played by a different man than the guy who played Maximus. He might be a douche-bag in real life, but he has a gift for acting.
-
Is this flick a spoof? Ron Howard makes movies that stupid americans love.
-
I hate when trailers ruin the movie, but that set up everything you need, the emotion and the story and it brings you right to the main point and leaves you there. I hate when trailers show action from the end or deceptively add scenes or crap like that, like didn't the My Cousin Vinny trailer show them celebratring in court, what the fuck is that? Ok, I'm ranting now, but I liked the trailer.
-
Meh, let's see Ron Howard executive produce "Arrested Development: The Movie". Would never happen in all seriousness, but if it did, I could see it winning Best Screenplay easily.
