This is my first time hearing about this. I like Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men a lot, so I'll definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for this. (I didn't like his Harry Potter film, but I don't think it was his fault. He did a good job of directing it, I just didn't think the subject matter was very interesting.)
Solid director, really liked 3 of the 4 films of his I've seen where he's directed. While I didn't care much for his HP film, it was one of the best of the series. Solid actor, as Clooney rarely disappoints.
Certainly not; that would be one of the rare times he disappointed me. I do blame that more on the writer and director, IMO, Clooney could have made a decent Batman back then.
I didn't love nor hate The American, Clooney did an alright job with the character. Being mostly silent and poker faced isn't for him though.
I enjoyed Syriana, not something I'd watch over and over though.
Edit: Didn't he do some flick with J-Lo? IIRC, that was terrible and he was terrible in it. But again, it's still rare moments where he doesn't deliver.
Haven't had any issues with Clooney. I enjoyed the American & Syriana, liked Out of Sight, and even liked him with his supporting part in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.
I still haven't seen Michael Clayton. Any reviews on that one?
Well, I've never seen Open Water, but I like this trailer because it doesn't really reveal much, so I have no idea really how the story will progress from what we've seen. I do know that this director is fantastic (Children of Men), so I'd honestly see it just out of faith in him. I'm sure it'll be a good ride just because he is behind it.
Yeah, Children of Men is top drawer. From what little I've looked into this is that after a disaster aboard their shuttle, 2 astronauts end up adrift in space with no way to contact earth. I just hope it isn't a case of 5 minutes of action and then them talking existential drivel for an hour and a half before dying. I remain as hopeful as a man of my naturally pessimistic personality can though.
