The Machinist. It's Christian Bale's new movie where where he dropped down to about 130 lbs. to play a guy with an extreme case of insomnia. Too bad it's being given the Equilibrium treatment. It's only showing in two theaters (NY and LA).

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>I liked tha movie simply because it was hilarious in its absurdity. I used to be angry that it had a limited release, but in retrospect, it was a good decision. Had it been released nationwide, there was a chance it would've made some money, which would encourage other diectors to follow the same.</div>
