Closer - is this out yet?

LookingFor

Kind of looking forward to seeing this, and apparently it was released in the UK today. But not a sign of it in any cinema I've checked, asides from a solitary midnight showing in my local UCI tonight. Is this coming out here this week too, or do we have to wait a bit longer?

herobear

as am i

it is supposed to be released tomorrow, but theres no listing for it on ugc............hmmm
must of been delayed

When I was at UCI (Blanch) earlier, they had a sticker over the Closer times saying "CANCELLED".

It's okay, it's not that good though.

LookingFor

Like, cancelled forever, or just delayed?

It's weird, cos the UGC sites in the UK have it listed, and I thought Irish release dates were synched with the UK..(?)

Anyway, it's not like cinemas here take to cancelling movies because they're "not that good" Roberts + Portman + Law should be enough to ensure good circulation, no?

I'm guessing it's postponed because there's 5 movies opening today in UGC: '2046', 'The Aviator', 'Million Dollar Baby', 'Team America: World Police', and 'Vanity Fair'. It's saturation and the movie would get lost. Probably next week instead when it might get released alongside its Oscar competition, 'Sideways'.

Yeah, wouldn't mind seeing 'Closer' either.

Was suprised 'Million Dollar Baby' is out here ahead of the US. Not released in the US until next Friday (21st January).

Very good film, by the way!

I thoroughly recommend it... and if i recommend it, you know it's good!!

Mr E

entertainment.ie says that Closer, Ray and Ladder 49 are all out next week.

No, it was released in the US ages ago. It's only opening wide today though, as is House of Flying Daggers.

'Closer' isn't out until 21 January here.

Incidentally, here's a news article about Closer. It seems the distributors weren't happy with the 18 certificate awarded by the Irish censor, and appealed it (unsuccessfully).

yep theres posters up in ugc, confirming it 21st january release date

does anyone know what happened to dear frankie ? there were posters up a couple of days ago in the ugc with 'coming this friday' signs....hopefully it hasnt been to far delayed either

Saw it today on 'dvd' *ahem*


Heap of crap. Very trashy. I reeeally hate films like that.

Saw Garden state Friday night, I really liked it for some reason.

Yeah.. i saw it was 'available on DVD' alright

Was tempted to see it.. but been hearing nothing but bad things. Won't bother now!

'Garden State' was one of the best of last year, in my opinion!

Reef

Yeah I really loved Garden State, lovely film. Well worth the eh...3 hours I waited for it, unlike Closer

Garden State..... best soundtrack of last year, and probably of the last couple of years in my opinion.

Was in my Best Albums of 2004 thread a couple of weeks back.

How can they mess up a movie where Natalie Portman plays a stripper? The movie makes itself.
