The Baker
Directed by Jonathan Sobol
A quiet, stoic man, lives a monk-like existence in self-imposed exile. When his estranged son is killed in a drug deal gone bad, he is left to look after a granddaughter he never knew existed, and he is forced back into a life he tried to put behind him. From TMDB

If so and the Miss Marble Photo Story is included I would need ten images rather than the five. These next few images are possibilities © Craig L Haupt

neutral · AI labelView post →The two wolves inside me are A). Goddammit, by cutting out the narrator character, the Into the Woods movie completely undercuts the thematic resonance of the Baker having to become the narrator for his son vs B). Okay, but it would have been James Corden doing it, so bullet dodged.

It’s called Assassin in Love in America because we are a simple people who need shit spelled out for us. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bak...
positive · AI labelView post →If you were going to stream The Retirement Plan with Nic Cage, just stream The Baker with Ron Perlman instead. It’s virtually the same story and it’s a million times better more enjoyable movie. What’s weird is Ron Perlman is in both of them. Randomly.
positive · AI labelView post →I wish PASS THE AMMO had a Blu-ray release. Where else are you gonna get Tim Curry, Annie Potts, Bill Paxton, Linda Koslowski, Brian Thompson, and Anthony Geary? Here are Tim and Annie, who play the Baker style televangelists, promoting the film in 1988. #RIP youtu.be/TvKVfMw9ric

neutral · AI labelView post →So apparently THE BAKER (a movie where Ron Perlman plays a baker who gets a whole lot of revenge or action or something, whatever, Ron Perlman kicking ass, don't care about plot) opened over a month ago and is already on VOD? These theaters that show trailers for stuff they don't get are such teases
neutral · AI labelView post →So many excellent briefs options linked to Welsh film other than Dylan Thomas and Harry Potter. Say, Solomon and Gaenor, Tiger Bay, The Baker, The Green Knight, Howl's Moving Castle, Autumn in Wales (a Malay rom com set in Wales). That's only films, not even mentioning actors, directors, etc

neutral · AI labelView post →TBF, the 2004 series and franchise has nothing to do with Buford Pusser, have merely taken the premise and not the actual facts of his case that inspired the Baker film and Svenson series.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m so inspired by the intersections of the Baker Hughes rig count and Manchester United’s fiscal profligacy that I’ve made a short film about it. I’ve called it “Decline and Fall”. Not investment advice. Here’s the film:

neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking about KIN for some reason today. Given it’s been a few years since it came out I want to post some behind the scenes pictures and stuff I took while on set. I miss working with my buddies the Baker Brothers. The Producers too. And the Toronto crew that shot the film was 10/10.
neutral · AI labelView post →That's not a movie that's a normal (for Wulferhampton) tea time with the Baker, Charlotte and the Ambassador!
neutral · AI labelView post →I love this one. But then, I've been a fan of Matthew since he dialed in on an analog modem (with an acoustic coupler) to change Ally Sheedy's grade. And I will NEVER forget Michelle laying across the piano in the Baker Boys movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think my dream role for musical theater would be the Baker from Into the Woods. No More is such a powerful song and I’ll always be bitter it was cut from the movie and we just got J*ames C*rdan looking “distressed” for 20 seconds.
neutral · AI labelView post →So we were talking about game-to-film adaptations, which somehow led to fancasting the Baker family of #ResidentEvil7 : Jack Baker - Bryan Cranston Marguerite Baker - Carrie-Anne Moss Lucas Baker - Jack Quaid Zoe Baker - ??? Thoughts? Counter-suggestions?
neutral · AI labelView post →The Baker. when i say it like that, it sounds like a jason statham movie
neutral · AI labelView post →On the heels of seeing Anora, I went directly to Red Rocket, something I've had in the queue for a year or so, strictly on the enthusiasm of someone I follow whose movie tastes are similar to mine. Like all the Baker films I've seen, everything from Tangerine on, the energy and essence the 1/3
positive · AI labelView post →Now that's the Baker film that deserves 4 oscars.

The Baker? The Candlestick Maker? The Inside (Sales)Man? The Headhunter? The Assistant to the Traveling Secretary?
neutral · AI labelView post →Been ruminating on it and while I don't think it cracks the top 10, I can confidently say Resident Evil 7's become one of my favorite games of all time. It's like a playable 80s horror movie with KILLER atmosphere and while the writing is weak at times, I fucking LOVE the story of the Baker family
neutral · AI labelView post →Sorry you had that experience. As I said for me it was fine. I do love it in person a lot more (especially the narrator) I did think the Baker and Cinderella did good in the movie. Everyone else I preferred the college show I saw

positive · AI labelView post →Looks like it's going to run parallel to the events of resident evil 2. So another new story, but may be alright. The snow is an interesting choice tho... The trailer beginning made me think of the RE7 and the Baker family. That would be cool movie

Most of their UK theaters would be sold to Virgin in late 1995. The Piccadilly, one of the exceptions, was closed in 2001.

neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing that there was once a reading for a film of Into the Woods where Robin Williams was The Baker hurts me. I want that film to exist instead of the James Corden one. This is indeed the bad time-line.

negative · AI labelView post →😂 Just watch Ron Perlman in a movie last night called The Baker. Another retired hit man drama.
negative · AI labelView post →1928: 1. Gloria Swanson - Sadie Thompson 2. Janet Gaynor - Street Angel 🥇 3. Louise Dresser - A Ship Comes In Betty Compson is the other nominee for The Baker, but that film is only available in a museum in Los Angeles.
neutral · AI labelView post →Betty Compson is another nominee that year, but her film The Baker is only available in a museum in Los Angeles, if I'm not mistaken. I'm from Costa Rica, so the chances of me watching that film are basically non existent. Sorry Betty, you were great in The Docks of New York.

positive · AI labelView post →The Baker is a solid crime movie starring Ron Perlman.

neutral · AI labelView post →I was certainly impressed by the acting and casting but what wowed me the most was how accurately they were able to capture the Baker house whilst keeping the set filmable. Tomorrow, a feature film from the 1980s called Night of the Demons
neutral · AI labelView post →...of the story. Gives the whole movie this "dark suburban fairy tale" feel. Also I can kinda see why Cregger would go on to the new resident evil movie; Gladys, in her writing and performance, 100% would fit in with the Baker family or the rogues gallery of RE Village. Great stuff!
neutral · AI labelView post →It's unlikely that, 3,000 years ago, Homer imagined a story made for cinema. It's also unlikely that Christopher Nolan imagined a film made for the Baker Street cinema in Abergavenny.
