Paterson: New York Has Now Run Out of Cash
The Last International Playboy sounds a lot like Chuck Bass of Gossip Girl in a few years, with Jason Behr playing a, yes, New York City playboy who goes all depressed when his childhood love is engaged to someone else and then self-destructive because he's still haunted by his mother's suicide. Jeannette Casoulis of the NY Times sniffs, "Grown men behaving like emotional infants are seldom fun to be around, a truism that “The Last International Playboy” does nothing to disprove... Making minimal use of his Manhattan locations, Mr. Clark lets the soundtrack do the talking, with the obtrusive indie-rock lyrics (by the likes of Bright Eyes and Burden of Man) shoveling the story forward in ungainly chunks."
This weekend, the big release is the star-loaded remake of the 1970s classic subway thriller, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3. But there are other worthy films to see, if the notion of seeing a subway movie in New York City makes you think of a packed subway during rush hour. Click through the gallery to see.

Re: Indiana Jones, I agree with Stan.
Me too.
I'm showing my kids the original Pelham 123 tonight, so they'll have a benchmark. I think the original is a magnificently understated and thrilling film, and a great time capsule of 1970s NYC. We'll see the new one next weekend; here's hoping it doesn't disappoint. It looks promising, which will be nice as so many of the remakes are whores with thick makeup.
Meh, I'm not that interested in watching Freddy Mercury take over a subway car.
Would rather watch The Hangover again.
FTW
pretty excited to see Moon tonight.
They should call it the Raping of Pelham 1-2-3. What sacrilege!
Have you seen the remake yet?
I'll just pop the DVD of the real Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 in instead. The original was great, an and an improvement on the book. This unneeded remake looks worse than the late 1990s made for TV remake filmed in Toronto. Gesundheit!
