Godsend
Any word on this one yet? Haven't heard any reviews but the trailer looks very interesting imo, or at least I find the basic premise interesting.

I will definitely see this, but I swear I saw the first trailers for it at the theatre about 10 months ago. Thus, I feel that it was sitting on the shelf -- never a good sign.

(Whoops - partially redundant from the post above mine, but...oh well.)

"...the trailer looks very interesting imo..."
...well...
"Looks interesting, I just hope it's executed well."
...ahh...
"...There were some reshoots, along with trims made to snag a PG-13 (they were originally shooting for an R)..."
...umm...

I can top that one. I saw the first trailer for this in front of Confidence its opening weekend; which was over a year ago.

Now lets add this up......
5 different endings reshot
+ 1 Rebecca Romijn without blue body suit(see Rollerball or Femme Fatale for reference)
+ 23 out of 24 rotten reviews at rottentomatoes.com
+ 1 unknown director
+ 1 loaded weekend with lots of other releases
= 1 big stinker of a film

I was supposed to see GODSEND this week, but the print mysteriously never showed up to the screening location.
Hmmm....

I also saw the trailer for this before Confidence opening weekend. I remember thinking it looked kind of interesting, but then forgot all about it
I just saw a commercial for it, and couldn't believe it was just now coming out

Looks like I was right when I said it'd be a turkey.

Once upon a time, Ebert gave David Lynch's Blue Velvet 1-star and Coppola's The Godfather Part 2 2 stars. He also gave Speed 2: Cruise Control 3 stars and The Phantom Menace 3 1/2 stars. He's got fat building up on his brain as well as his body.

What a stupid thing to say.

I'm gonna wait till it's on DVD. DeNiro's acting - based on the tiny short clips in the trailer - looks bad... the fact that the gore was all removed and there's different endings, I'm gonna go ahead and hold off hoping they make a good DVD with an R-rated version or at least all the cut footage available as an extra.

I just saw Godsend last night on DVD. IMO this was really a good movie. I'll have to re-watch the first 5-10 mins however.
Did Godsend stay in the theaters long? I was away at school when it came out, and I really didn't hear that much about it.
