Eastern Promises (2007)

Directed by David Cronenberg

Coming on the heels of 2005's A History of Violence, Eastern Promises certainly feels like an apt follow-up for director David Cronenberg - as the film possesses a number of similarities to its forebearer, including an expectedly deliberate pace, shocking bursts of violence, and an absolutely compelling turn from star Viggo Mortensen. This time around, Mortensen steps into the shoes of a Russian mobster who must placate his sinister boss (Armin Mueller-Stahl) while ensuring the safety of a well-meaning midwife (Naomi Watts).

Great movie.

Glengarry Glen Ross

Stars: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Johnathan Price, Bruce Altman, Jude Ciccolella

1992

This film depicts two days in the lives of four real estate salesmen and how they become desperate when the corporate office sends a trainer to "motivate" them by announcing that, in one week, all except the top two salesmen will be fired. The film, like the play, is notorious for its use of profanity, leading the cast to jokingly refer to the film as "Death of a Fuckin' Salesman". The title of the film comes from the names of two of the real estate developments being peddled by the salesmen characters: Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms.
