Sam Rockwell

It is Martin McDonagh's new film, written and directed, of course.

It stars John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, Tom Waits, Mariana DiGirolamo, and Parker Posey.

Mm-hmm.

This is what it's about.

But we bring to the movie, like, all of our relationship to him, you know? Of course.

The great parts that he's played over the years and the kind of oddity of his performance style.

And I think one of the things that will get a little overlooked about this movie, but that I'm just going to cite right up front, is that Sam Rockwell is... unbelievably good in this film.

And this character is so important because he kind of represents a transitional phase in American history as well.

Why? Well, the Irish playwright turned director comes to theaters this weekend with Wild Horse 9.

That stars Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich.

I haven't caught it yet.

You have.

Until it's nominated for 10 Oscars.

There you go.

Martin McDonough's Wild Horse 9, Sam Rockwell, John Malkovich, that is also out, and that might actually get 10 Oscar nominations the way people are talking about it.

Next week in the Film Spotting Feed, the Movie Racket with Michael Phillips is back after our great movie deathmatch episode this week where they're discussing two noir films, debating between Ann Topson and Matt Gourley, debating which noir classic starring...

this.

These are CIA agents, him and Sam Rockwell.

It takes place in Easter Island, 1973, excuse me.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I'm usually very pedantic about like every comma and every pause, et cetera.

Still kind of am.

But this, I did have a feeling, and I spoke with Sam Rockwell about this like maybe a few years ago, that this has the possibilities of being much more improvisational.

So we did go along that route.

The stand, sand sharks, sea beast, rotten tail, Bundy, a legacy of evil, raging sharks, A lot of sharks, a lot of animal horror, apparently, this guy was in.

1969, Sam Rockwell, who starred in The Green Mile and also starred in, what was the film that we watched last year? Iron Man 2.

I'm sorry, I forgot.

Who?

Sam Rockwell.

He was in that time.

Oh, that was great.

I feel like I've heard either that or something extremely similar to it before.

And it triggered a memory for me of something that it has like a remix that becomes like a dance song in Charlie's Angels when Sam Rockwell is dancing.

And that's all I could think of for a second when it happened a couple of times.

I'm going to find it.

That's the movie I want to see this weekend.

John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell as CIA agents in the early 70s.

A coup is happening in Chile, but they're on Easter Island.

Yeah.

yeah.

Silver Screen Rant says, strikingly funny, deeply poignant, and bristling with ideas.

Wild Horse 9 ranks among Martin McDonough's sharpest works, powered by an all-time pairing of John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell.

You could tell in the trailer.

It's going to get lost in the mix because, again, there's still some really good movies that are coming up later this month, including Disney's Hex, which I think closer to Thanksgiving, which might take a good share of that kid's audience.

I think also as well, another one that we want to talk about is Wild Horse 9 with Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich.

John Malkovich is getting a huge amount of buzz.

As far as Oscar contention, might be stealing that away from Matt Damon and the Odyssey, among others.

Of course, of course.

But again, but also as well, I guess there's a bit of a dimension playing into factor on John Malkovich's character as well, which is something that's not exactly the easiest thing in the world to portray.

You could, overdo it and then just make a mockery of that of that fight and uh but i think that that from what i hear in the advanced screenings and the advanced reviews that this has done very well and again john malkovich and sam rockwell was there you know sam rockwell's good and everything he does seemingly so i think this is going to get a lot of high praise from a lot of people by the end of the year and a lot of oscar worthy contention indeed so we'll see how that one does Drummer Boy from Angel Studios.

I don't know really how to measure that one.

Judy Reyes from Scrubs, 59.

Sam Rockwell is 58.

I love him.

The Kinleys.

Wild horse nine is up next.

Also November 6th, the new Martin McDonough movie starring Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich.

I have a feeling both of us are just super psyched about this.

Yeah.
