CowgirlsFan Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Can't go wrong with "The Prisoners" with Jackman and his crew. Got to see "Don Jon" especially since I heard Gordon-Levitt on the radio here in DFW. And as usual I must see my fellow Texan Tommy Lee Jones in "The Family" along with his DeNiro and Pheffier mates.

Mark Vader Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Just saw "Prisoners" today. Whew! What an emotionally draining, and disturbing film, but very good as well. Hugh Jackman shows that he is good in almost any role that you give him. Great job. Also a good turn by Paul Dano. Director Denis Villeneuve does a great job too, and the cinematography is very good as well. I don't want to give any spoilers, so see it and report back about it here.
