Cinecast #92: Lucky Number Slevin

Cinecast Takes Manhattan-Part I (Recorded in Brooklyn): When the great Sidney Lumet's new film "Find Me Guilty" was pulled from theaters earlier than expected, Adam and Sam had to resort to door number two: director Paul McGuigan's "Lucky Number Slevin." Cinecast has learned to be wary of suspiciously strong casts in films released with relatively little fanfare at the tail-end of winter. With Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Stanley Tucci, Lucy Liu, Josh Hartnett and Sir Ben Kingsley playing prominent roles in what appeared to be a cleverly-scripted case of mistaken identity, it either meant a winning combination of Tarantino meets Hitchcock, or "Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead ... 10 Years Later." Sam manages to utter two or three sentences before declaring that he "hated" the movie, putting Adam in the familiar position of having to defend a movie he didn't care for that much either.

Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre, and a preview of this week's Top 5 ... New York Movies.
