PODCASTS: Listen to Herzog & Bale dish 'Rescue Dawn' with us
"Rescue Dawn" was received so excitedly at the Toronto Film Festival last year, it was clear that "Dawn" might become more than just the first breakout commercial hit of a director beloved by the art-house 
crowd. Cheers from film critics were guaranteed. If "Rescue Dawn" could be a hit with movie-goers, too, it has all of the elements of a big, important movie that could put director Werner Herzog and star Christian Bale in the Oscar game.
