So, I think I am going to see "The Big Bang"

A lot of what folks try to pass off as modern noir seems to either really translate into "plodding detective movie" or "we've mistaken showing the sex scenes/ making an 'erotic' thriller with what they were doing in noir, but we basically ended up making something they'll show on Cinemax after 12:01 AM".

Really, aside from "The Big Lebowski", its hard to think of much in the last few years that actually pulled it off.

I don't want to vouch for the flick until I've seen it, but I'm going to give the new Antonio Banderas movie a shot.  The trailer looks...  not terribly promising, but they cast Bill "Predator" Duke and put him in the trailer, so I'm in.

Language in the trailer is NSFW

The missus and I just watched "Winter's Bone", which is a cool take on noir in the Ozarks, and is gorgeous to look at as well.

Be interested in your take on it...

I am very interested in the movie, and its up pretty high in my Netflix Blu-Ray queue. Its been hard to get charged up for a movie about meth heads in the Ozarks as good, clean fun, but I'm ready for something a bit different.
