The Machinist: Bale becomes the new Dennis Hopper

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Yup, Machinist was somewhat inventive with the story line but the impressive part of the production is that Bale lost down to about 140 pounds--being over six feet that is skin and bones. The story threw in some requisite twists and turns about a man who has had insomnia for over a year. No spoilers as to why.
Surprisingly, Bale is becoming the go-to-guy for weirdness. American Psycho, Batman, now "Insomnia Man". I think his severe looks will forever keep him from being a serious lead. He's a new Hopper, condemned to play that off-center psycho and do it well. Anyway, Bale delivers in his roles and I will continue to watch.
