2.) The Gambler [1/6/2015]

Someone wrote the most Sam Rockwellian of Sam Rockwell characters for a deeply philosophical movie exploring ideas of identity, existentialism, and valuation (while drastically misunderstanding the life and pay scale of a tenured faculty member of an English Department); then, Mark Wahlberg was cast instead of Sam Rockwell and the wheels fell off what could have been an amazing film.
