Excerpt by Travis Leamons: I must say that Wells has recruited a hell of a cast – a cast that is likely to appeal to older audiences who want see elder thespians like Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Costner, who is also in the film. The cast also includes Maria Bello, Craig T. Nelson and Rosmarie Dewitt. It looks good, but you can definitely see that The Weinstein Company is pushing the “Oscar Bait” hard with this one. Hopefully, Wells’ film debut doesn’t disappoint. The Company Men will arrive in limited theaters beginning October 22nd. At the following link:

Excerpt by Brad Brevet: The film is the feature directorial debut of "ER" producer/writer/director John Wells and while it received decent reviews from Sundance earlier this year, it was also compared to Up In the Air, which means it's going to have to play really well on October 22 if it wants to stick around for award consideration. Plenty of potential Oscar contenders are getting their first looks recently, how does this one stack up for you? At the following link:

Excerpt by Perri Nemiroff: Now this is a trailer that actually makes me want to see the film when it his theaters in New York City and Los Anegles on October 22nd. Rather than just relying on happy vs. sad faces to get a feel for what’s going on, this one reveals a nice chunk of the plot and gives us a much better taste of who these guys really are. I for one am very curious as to how they get out of this rut. At the following link:

Excerpt by Peter Sciretta: I’ve heard complaints that the story is very dry, and that the film isn’t very thrilling, but I don’t believe it should be. This is the reality of downsizing, and the depressing nature of our current economic situation. If a 30 year old sales manager can’t find a new job, how is someone older, a senior executive, supposed to survive once his company abandons him? At the following link:

Excerpt by Alex Billington: The film stars a bevy of great actors, lead by Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, Maria Bello and Rosemarie DeWitt. I saw this at Sundance and really enjoyed it, despite being quite bleak and depressing. Brandon reviewed it and gave it 9 out of 10. This trailer definitely stays away from the bleaker side of things, but it's a fantastic trailer, I love the music and build up. I really hope this gets a few of you to see it. And ohhh Rosemarie DeWitt, love her! At the following link:
