I couldn't agree more– and from what I've been reading in the last year or so, it looks like he's got enough tentative projects flying around that one of 'em will surely have to leap to the forefront, hopefully sooner rather than later.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-82947688254985724982011-07-16T08:36:41.009-04:002011-07-16T08:36:41.009-04:00Very nice, honest assessment of JC's latest. I...Very nice, honest assessment of JC's latest. I haven't seen it yet but it's just great to see him cranking out another film even if the script is crap. I see this film as JC testing the feature film waters again after several years. He was smart and made a small budgeted film under the radar so there isn't much at stake here. By all accounts from the press he's done, the experience of making THE WARD has reinvigorated his love of filmmaking again, which is probably the best thing to come away from this film.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-891555378087084242011-07-15T14:54:47.371-04:002011-07-15T14:54:47.371-04:00I can't wait to see this.

Lets hope he's back to more full-time directing. I loved his Masters of Horror episodes.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110714070481530020noreply@blogger.com
