I really wanted to see this at a film festival this year, and totally dropped the ball. Looks awesome.
Bronson
In 1974, a hot-headed 19 year old named Michael Peterson decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to 7 years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. During that time, Michael Petersen, the boy, faded away and 'Charles Bronson,' his superstar alter ego, took center stage. Inside the mind of Bronson - a scathing indictment of celebrity culture
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

They are showing this tonight at a local filmfest. Really debating whether I will go and see it.

Damn! I was so excited when I saw the thread title. Oh whither poor Balki.
THE VOID
Same.
Drive By
Oh shit, this is the new movie from the writer/director of Pusher! Now I'm interested.
I watched this. It was ok, but didn't seem to stick very close to reality, and the character is a bit frustrating in his inability to ever learn anything.

Saw this as well since the DVD rip is at the usual spots. His inability to learn is kinda what makes him tragic. The surreal nature of the film was appealing and visually it borrows heavily from Kubrick. I couldn't believe the actor playing Bronson was the Picard clone from Nemesis. I think he did an outstanding job.
Yeah, it was a good bit of casting. The accent threw me at first since I'd never heard his voice before and the real life guy isn't a cockney, but he actually does have that accent in real life, as it turns out.
