We Still Like Christian Bale
And it sounds like once we see "The Machinist" (click on title for the trailer), we'll be liking him even more. The NYT review of it is one of the most praiseworthy pieces on a so-called "genre" film that we've seen in quite some time. By all means, bring it on. Bale is an actor who's best performances thus far have been limited to the arthouse cinema, thereby guaranteeing a lack of Oscar nominations that he has earned several times over, by our estimation.
