Last night, at parties right around the corner from each other, a pair indie titles sought some attention, Werner Herzogs Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and Oren Movermans The Messenger. At Avenue, as guests nibbled parmesean truffle waffle fries and Kobe beef skewers, Lieutenant producer Ed Pressman and co-star Eva Mendes, squired by Siegal, chatted up attendees. Curious tidbit: the film is being submitted in the comedy category at the Golden Globes to match Nicolas Cages outrageous performance thats been frequently (and quite accurately) described as unhinged.
