127 Hours - New Danny Boyle film; I usually find his stuff kind of hit or miss, but this was really enjoyable. James Franco stars as this outdoorsy guy who gets his arm trapped by a boulder while (who betta than) canyoning and then cuts his own arm off to escape. It's based on a true story and 90% of the movie is just Franco by himself and he does a great job carrying the film. Feels like a Boyle film with lots of gimmicky shots and plenty of energy. Intense film (apparently two people had panic attacks at Telluride) and the arm cutting scene is insane.
