Awake_l Waking up under anesthesia in the middle of surgery? Scary. Waking up under anesthesia in the middle of surgery to find your doctor is plotting your murder? Even scarier. Me, waking up to the realization that I'm excited to spend $11 on a Hayden Christensen-Jessica Alba vehicle? Absolutely freakin' terrifying. (Well, okay, Terrence Howard's in the Nov. 30 release, too.) Click here to see for yourself.

Jessica Alba is sooooooo good looking! I don't care that she can't act; this guy can't enough of Dark Angel! Keep going Jessica; there's always FF3 and Sin City 2 around the corner....

Mom-ID? Must be Lena Olin you're referring to. She's played a few interesting moms lately. Alias anyone? Probably means her character will prove to be evil or at least mad halfway through. Btw, thats' second time HC's been provided with a Swedish mom.

That's it, Hollywood officialy overused Sia's Breathe Me. It shoulda stayed Six Feet Under's last cry, but now they just use it every two days...

Definitely wait for the video--I simply cannot endorse anyone ever hiring Hayden Christenson for any reason. He was good in Shattered Glass, but that's it. The story sounds interesting...they'd get my $8.50 if they just would have cast someone else.

Grabbed me because of the Sia song. Would be nice to see that kid NOT playing with lightsabers. I might have to check it out. Whose that mom? I can't think of her name..

Is it just me or does Terry look like he's plotting to fire his agent for getting him involved in a movie with Alba & Christensen?

I LOVE NEW YORK'S MOMMA Fri, Nov 2, 2007 at 05:40 PM EST

I don't like sugar coating..

If the movie only had Terrence "BABY WIPES" Howard and Hayden Christensen, I'd definitely watch.. Good actors!

Sadly, Jessica "I Love One Night Stands and Won't do nude scenes" Alba is a HORRIBLE actress and I can only take so much of her! This girl has to be just one point higher than Jessica SImpson in acting! She literally ruined FF 2 and notice evertime she is challenged, she busts a grin!

why would studios take such a risk with a swimsuit "B" actress? SOmebody is getting blown under the tables..

looks interesting. I just may have to see it.

Of course it seems amazing, Sia's "Breathe Me" is in the trailer. That song makes any picture seem brilliant.

Does Jessica Alba keep getting better looking?

Maeve Fri, Nov 2, 2007 at 01:52 PM EST

Wow, I didn't think it was possible for Hayden Christensen to have less chemistry with anyone other than Natalie Portman, but wow! Jessica Alba proved me wrong. Also, isn't it some type of rule that Jessica Alba's movies have to either tank or be critically panned?

i don't think that outfit in the picture provided costs thousands, but what do i know? i was simply making fun of Deep Blue or whatever that movie with Paul whatshisname was called...

to craig Fri, Nov 2, 2007 at 01:29 PM EST

You don't think the clothes cost $1000's?

Joel Fri, Nov 2, 2007 at 01:12 PM EST

Awake looks really interesting. I don't know why they didn't just release this about a year ago. It should be sitting on my DVD shelf by now.

cRAIG Fri, Nov 2, 2007 at 01:09 PM EST

yea, that is a pretty good trailer. and it's amazing how good Jessica Alba can look in everyday clothes (you don't have to put her in a bathing suit for an entire film).
but be warned: Awake is shelved product. It was supposed to be released like a year ago. Game-time decision for me...

rachel Fri, Nov 2, 2007 at 12:45 PM EST

interesting. Maybe I'm dumb, but did they clarify why he had to get surgery in the first place? That aside, I'd have to agree with you Slezak about wanting to see it. It may have something to do with the fact that they used Sia for the music, but whatev.
