Trailer - Win Win

One of my favorite writer/directors is Thomas McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor). He makes fantastic character studies that stay with you. His third film stars Paul Giamatti as a high school wrestling coach who ends up looking after a runaway teen. Looks great and I think McCarthy will definitely transcend the typical sports movie cliches. It was a hit at Sundance and got picked up by Fox Searchlight. Opens March 18th.

  1. This looks really good! I liked The Visitor a lot, and I have head great things about The Station Agent. If I didn't know anything about the director, based on the premise, I'd be afraid Win Win would be sentimental and cliched.

  2. "I was asshamed when i saw my shoes till i have seen another person having no feet". A great thing.

    Everyone is interested in going to heaven, but till now I have found none who wants to die.

  3. Once i desired for a piece of bread, and what I got is a piece of stone in the form of pedestal.
    The person who says we cannot buy happiness with money it means that he dont know where to shop for happiness.

  4. I think there are three sides to any argument: your side, my side and the right side.
