A new movie from the genius mind of David Cronenberg... Won critical praise from just about everyone at Cannes film festival 2005. Has Viggo Mortensen in the lead. Has Ed Harris with a glasseye.

And also has maybe the most badass title ever: A History of Violence.

Enough said.

Yeah, it caught my attention after I read a bunch of great reviews on it.

Although, I haven't cared much for Cronenberg's work that isn't directly related to the Horror/Sci-fi genre.

Videodrome
Scanners
The Fly

All great stuff, but everything else he's done never did much for me.

But I'll be sure to scope this out when I get the chance.

I know what you mean, but have you ever seen Dead Zone?
That movie is a classic, IMO. One of Christopher Walken's most memorable roles.

Forgot he directed that.

You can add that to my list, since it is a good flick as well.

Although it's probably a cliche, I liked the book much better (Stephen King's early writing work was always exceptional.)

Walken was great too from what I remember, but it's actually been a while since I've last seen it, so the finer points of his performance in this film escape me.

Perhaps I'll track down a copy later today and give it a watch.

I finally saw Naked Lunch the other day... not bad.

Personally, his films have never been really my taste. Sort of like the "weirder" side of David Lynch.
