The Forgotten (2004)

 

Too many plot holes in a messy script. 

Rating: D

Playing By Heart (1998)

 

Separate relationship stories eventually weave together in a celebration of love. Some work better than others. Angelina Jolie shines. I miss Sean Connery. Weird seeing Jon Stewart acting. 

Rating: C+

Zodiac (2007)

Half of Hollywood shows up in this docu-thriller by David Fincher. I
wasn't familiar with the history behind these killings, so I didn't know what was coming. Well written screenplay based on the material
available. It's not a movie you'll run out to see again, but it's certainly worth seeing once.

Rating: C+

The Sure Thing (1985)

The exact opposite of Say Anything, in that this movie was very poorly written, while Say Anything was witty and fun.

Rating: D

Northfork (2003)

I expected big things from this film. The trailer was excellent. The Polish Brothers really impressed me with Twin Falls Idaho. The cast is superb. How they managed to make an incredibly bad film with all that is beyond me.

It's slow from start to finish. Strange and confusing in a bad way. There's no payoff at the end, and there certainly wasn't any payoff in the middle. This film could have been much better in the hands of someone else.

Rating: D

El Diablo (1990)

This was an HBO production of the western/action/comedy genre. It was pretty clever and funny throughout the entire film, although it took 15 minutes to get going. I'd say it's worth the rental.
