Nah, pretty persuasion has potential to be a pretty cool dark comedy, but it could be bad.

Grizzly Man looks pretty interesting to me.

Four Brothers might be a good rental, but I'm not sure it's worth the $10 to see on the big screen. But you're right, Grizzly Man does look good.

Eh, I'm pretty sure four brothers will suck. Singleton is a bit of a hack.
