Beklemmende spanning in Phone Booth.

Ik heb altijd een zwak voor eenvoudige films. Niet teveel poespas, een decor, wat acteurs en draaien maar. En zo komt Phone Booth (2002) op me over. Goede acteurs (onder andere Colin Farrell), een eenvoudige plek (een telefooncel) en niet teveel special effects en andersoortige afleiding. Joel Schumacher heeft er op die manier een eenvoudige, maar spannende thriller van weten te maken.

 

Negentig procent van Phone Booth speelt zich af terwijl Stu Sheperd (Colin Farrell) aan de telefoon hangt. Hij blijft daar zo lang hangen, omdat hij onder schot wordt gehouden door een persoon (Kiefer Sutherland, of liever de Stem van Kiefer Sutherland) die alles van hem schijnt te weten. Hij weet dat Sheperd iedereen manipuleert, dat hij zijn vriendin bedriegt en zijn scharrel elke dag belt vanuit de telefooncel waar hij op dit moment in staat. Het lijkt snel gedaan met dit verhaal, maar de volle 77 minuten zijn spannend. Door middel van slow-motion, snelle editing en split-screen neemt Schumacher je mee naar die telefooncel op de hoek van de straat. Heel knap, als je bedenkt dat de film in 12 dagen is opgenomen. Phone Booth moest zijn releasedatum trouwens uitstellen omdat rond de premiere in Washington een sluipschutter ronddwaalde met zijn sniper-rifle.

De moeite waard om te bekijken, Phone Booth, om 20:30 op RTL 5.

    Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..

    When I was hurt in that boat accident my life would be changed forever. Sadly that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be in pain for ever.

    This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good personal injury attorney to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.

    How rotten was it? I has bedridden for 9 months, I had to have constant care and my hospital bills went through the roof!

    Thankfully, I found a good referral site to help me.

    I will post more later this period to tell you more about what I have been going through.

    Don’t beg yourself what the world needs; appeal to yourself what makes you settle alive. And then go and do that. Because what the planet needs is people who experience come alive.

    All men dream, but not equally. Those who day-dream before night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the date to become aware of that it was conceitedness: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, benefit of they may dissimulation on their dreams with problematic eyes, to get them possible.

    I’m going to express my feelings for one of my friends very soon. I think I’m gonna ask her if we could see a movie this weekend and then maybe tell her at the end of our ‘date’ (even though it’s not a date-I just couldn’t think of the right word). She is 21 and I am 20. She is gorgeous and I am an overweight guy. We have a lot in common and I consider her to be my best friend-but ive gotta get this off of my chest. If she doesn’t feel the same way I don’t want to lose her friendship. I also don’t want to make her feel akward either. Any tips advice would be really awesome. Especially how to start the whole conversation. Also-neither of us has ever been in a relationship. Yes, I know that that’s weird (especially for her because she is sooooo gorgeous). Thank you.

    A business news needs access to credit for two reasons. First, credit allows a small business to get a loan or line of credit from a financial institution. Second, credit can let a small business buy the necessary supplies and goods. No matter why you need credit, it is giving you something of value in return for a promise of repaying all the cash in the future.

    So who provides credit to a small business? A relative will often help, but what about the bank in town or a supplier that is separated by a continent? How can someone who doesn’t know you and has never met you determine your creditworthiness?

    These companies would do exactly what you would do: they go to a reputable credit risk management agency in order to get a credit report. Through a comprehensive small business credit report, these companies can learn about all aspects of your business including your financial condition, credit history, top management and other important information. All of this is determined by your small business credit score. This single number can tell a potential lender whether or not you are a good risk. Often this score is a number on a scale, but can include alphabet letters. This score allows banks, lenders, suppliers or other creditors to determine whether or not you are likely to pay your bills on time.

    Any of you experience having females lookin in your mouth like ewww? I bet you do that’s why a lot of you are always working trying to attract money. lol looking for drugs and cash because you need dental work, it’s an emergency!. anyway, i’m not selling anything or anything but i do want to encourage everyone to look up veneers. google it or find it somewher or ask your dentist. it is the freaking best thing the world.

    all that sugary candy that those retards at mars gave you turned on you and got you and your wife running around looking like the wicked witches and wizards of the west.

    You go to the denstist and get a cleaning but what the hell is that going to do? You’ve got caved in teeth, appalachan mountain teeth, rocky mountain teeth, and general crackhead related teeth.

    It’s rough on you I know but it’s true. I used to be the same way. I did happen to spend a couple g’s on some veneers in atlanta ga (google it if you’re not from the US). Now I do give big smiles on every occasion i meet a face, in abstract to the past where it’s hide the smile! But anyway some of you might definitely need to undergo such a process.

    From another perspective, it’s a great way to continue the veneer industry and make sure we have motivated dentists to come up with new innovative ways to fix our teeth. veneers is a big step over gold and silver teeth replacements which are gaudy and look crazy.

    Despite the fact that Flickr isn’t the internet’s largest photo site, there are signs that the site, which is owned by Yahoo, isn’t going away any time soon.
