Yeah, Happy Accidents is wonderful. I first discovered Brad Anderson with Session 9, then Next Stop Wonderland.

I really liked The Machinist (not my favorite film by Anderson though). Christian Bale really immersed himself in that role. Losing 65 pounds just to play this walking skeleton of a man. It was hard to watch sometimes and they sure played up that 'shell of man' idea. Bale only ate (1) can of tuna a day and I think a yogurt to drop the weight. Frightening.
