theorphanage_galleryposter The rest is all waiting, anticipating, dreading. We need the genuine jolt that comes about midway, to let us see what the movie is capable of. The rest is fear. 

B00004D34K_02_LZZZZZZZ Though it's no Knife in the Water, director Phillip Noyce's tense, visceral '80s thriller injects a much-needed claustrophobic jolt into the standard yuppies-in-danger plotline that seemed to be in such abundance in the late '80s and early '90s (see also Pacific Heights and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle).

Coogan’s Stateside [wattage] should get a jolt from Tropic Thunder and Hamlet 2, as they represent his acceptance into Hollywood’s comedic royal family. Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Janeane Garofalo are all [documented] Coogan fanatics. 

Stiller, who first worked with Coogan on his hit 2006 film Night At The Museum, cast him alongside Black, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Cruise, Matthew McConaughey and Nick Nolte in Tropic Thunder as a pompous Brit director who hilariously loses his head shooting a war movie in the jungle. 

"He always comes with truth, but with the innate sense [of] the funniest way [of] playing that truth," says Stiller of Coogan’s genius. 






While the stakes are high in terms of the impact of the Lightbox on the city, regulars at the festival also figure 

to be jolted [out] of their routine.
