movie: the machinist[views:2636][posts:22]__________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 6:52pm - succubus ""] A lathe operator (Christian Bale) can't sleep. In fact, he hasn't for a year. Problem is, he's still haunted by the nightmare of a dead man no one else can see. As the spirit interferes more and more in his waking life, he begins to wonder where he ends and the ghost begins... limited release yesterday.. i want to see this Drama 102 min. Trevor Reznik (Bale) is wasting away. He hasn't slept in a year, which has led to a shocking deterioration of his physical and mental health. His only solace comes from his call-girl girlfriend (Leigh) when his world becomes a living nightmare as cryptic notes turn up in his apartment and he has visions of a co-worker nobody else can see. Determined to find answers, he embarks on a journey of self-awareness, but the more he learns, the less he wants to know. |

| ______________________________________________ [Oct 4,2005 11:08pm - Chris_From_Shit_Fuck ""] One of my favorite movies, Bale is just amazing. The direction showcases his insanity so well, granted the script doesn't really hide the "shock" ending too well, but at the same time I'm paying attention to Bale's amazing performance. If you like Christian Bale, and a good psychological drama with some really cool visuals then I'd highly suggest checking this one out. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 5,2005 11:13am - MadMac ""] yea rented this one from block. it was ok but i'd rather watch memento again. |
