Seen Eastern Promises, now Michael Clayton.

Only two 2007 movies left after this one.

I love how Cronenberg plays with his body horror fixation in Eastern Promises. The nude knife fight is so visceral because you can feel how vulnerable Viggo's nuts are.

Eastern Promises is a brutal and original movie, about Russian and Chechen gangsters clashing in London. It’s sly and darkly comedic, and after a quick start, it slows down to a steady pace. Viggo Mortensen does perhaps his best role, and Cronenberg really shines as well. Carefully designing a story, a cinematography and a film that fully delivers, both in quiet moments and in full action scenes.

Michael Clayton could have been a five star movie, it’s not quite there, but still a solid movie, worth rewatching. It’s prime Clooney, at the peak of his career. The setting is moody and stylish, the entire film shot during winter. The story builds slowly, as the plot goes from one setup to another. There is no action or humor, instead a slow building of suspense, showing corporate greed. Michael Clayton (Clooney) is a fixer, a lawyer whose job it is to make clients’ problems disappear. He also has a huge problem with his personal finances. His company is now representing a chemical company, and he’s in the middle of it all. It starts with his car exploding, without him in it, and then jumps back four days. I won’t spoil it further.

I love Michael Clayton because it feels like a real 70s post-Nixon movie: The China Syndrome, Three Days of the Condor, The Parallax View, The Conversation, Klute, etc.

We should've seen a real resurgence of these sort of films post-Bush 2/Enron, but instead we got a lot of overwrought garbage with a hard political viewpoint, like The Constant Gardener; or ironic stuff like whatever the fuck Adam McKay's been doing for the last decade.

It does have a little of that feeling, although doesn’t go as far in the full on conspiracy direction. Rather is feels more real and plausible, with a more sensible government.

Yeah, I think that the post-Vietnam/Nixon/nuclear winter conspiracy vibes would drive somewhat different movies than where we were at in the early aughts. But still, there's a general distrust of gov't and corporations to be used as fodder for good movies.
