Depressing film about a husband and wife, different needs, different goals, unwanted ends. Lots of scene chewing. I personally liked the insane guy – John. There is a part of me that thinks every couple needs one of these. imdb.com A young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s struggle to come to [...]

Depressing and interesting look at a comedian as he goes through a terminal illness, realizes he is pretty much alone and proceeds to try and mess up the good thing that the only girl he feels he loved has.

Far from Heaven (2002)

Visually stunning film that captured the look and feel of both the people, homes and film making look of the 1950′s. Predictable plot about the ugly side of marriage, homosexuality, racism, and small town social circles in the 50′s. So pretty to watch even if you have seen the film before under dozens of different [...]

Congratulations Scott Caan on writing and directing a film where there were no strippers anywhere except the credits. And it was a nice credit sequence. Also, letting your self play a completely dysfunctional ass was nice instead of writing an unrealistic part about what a stud you are. So, on to the story. Two friends [...]

Some Girl (1998)

This film was listed as a comedy in the summary. Only problem, it wasn’t funny. It was actually sort of sad watching this dysfunctional group of 20-somethings risk friendships for a one night stand, fall hopelessly in love with people that couldn’t care less about them, and believe anything the boy with a pretty smile [...]
