Title: Hard Candy Post by: chargerrich on August 17, 2009, 07:17:10 AM After watching Juno and Smart People in the last few months I came to the belief that Ellen Page is going to be a star actress some day... as such I ran across this movie doing an IMDB search and WOW is this girl talented!
As for the movie, it really had me puzzled... and I am not sure if I liked it a lot or really thought it was crap. Stars Patrick Wilson (Owl from Watchmen) alongside Page. What did everyone think of this movie? I stumbled on it, never even heard of it before last night. Title: Re: Hard Candy Post by: MrHat on August 17, 2009, 08:01:03 AM Ellen Page had me fucking floored by whatever will power she was putting out in this movie.
I couldn't stop watching. Title: Re: Hard Candy Post by: HaemishM on August 17, 2009, 09:43:39 AM Unlike Juno, this was a good movie. Very tense, and uncomfortable to watch. Didn't even realize this was Nite Owl.
Title: Re: Hard Candy Post by: Sir T on August 18, 2009, 06:42:29 AM Yeah, his performance in this was far far stronger than in Watchmen.
Great movie. Well worth watching imo. Title: Re: Hard Candy Post by: chargerrich on August 18, 2009, 09:16:05 AM Great movie, I really see her as an A lister in the coming years, she was amazing in smart people, outshining Dennis Quaid in a movie that was by all other accounts a snoozer. Title: Re: Hard Candy Post by: stu on August 18, 2009, 09:51:48 AM Is this a horror movie? That's what the photo on the DVD box always makes me think. I should just watch it.
I've never seen any of Ellen Page's work, but people sure seem to appreciate it. She's going to be in Christopher Nolan's next flick, Inception, so I'll be seeing that for sure. Title: Re: Hard Candy Post by: Sir T on August 19, 2009, 06:42:48 PM Its probably closest to a psychological thriller, though there is some horror elements in it. Its well worth watching, though you might find it uncomfortable to watch. Certainly will leave you thinking.
