Breaking Whilst Entering Los Angeles

Breaking and Entering, the Jude Law/Juliette Binoche/Robin Wright Penn drama from Oscar winner Anthony Minghella (The English Patient) is set for an Oscar qualifying run starting Friday, December 15th. But guess what? According to Coming Soon that's only in Los Angeles. Technically you only have to open there for Oscar eligibility but if you can't be bothered to open in NYC. grrrrrr And me such a big Jude Law supporter, too! Stupid movie studios.

These haphazard one week qualifiers! They aren't as common as they used to be thank God. Nowadays when a movie tries this approach it gives off the distinct whiff of 'we're sure no one will like this but what the hell --contractual obligations!' Breaking and Entering = Dead to me!
