The Big Lebowski (1998)

 

Gave this one a second viewing in case I wasn’t able to fully appreciate it back in the day. To be fair, I think I did like it more this time. Certainly one of the Cohen Brothers weirdest, and that’s saying something. More about the characters than a compelling story, and there are some strange ones. 

Rating: C+

Big Trouble (2002)

 

A great cast with a legendary director in a moderately funny movie. 

Rating: C

Under The Tuscan Sun (2003)

Delightful. Really enjoyed the cinematography and story. I passed through Tuscany on my travels in Europe, but seeing this film makes me want to go back and spend more time. 

Rating: B

Special (2006)

They did a good job of using a small budget to their advantage. It actually adds to the film. A bit depressing despite attempts at an uplifting message at the end.

Rating: C

Men In Black II (2002)

MIB II was fun, funny, and flashy. A reliable sequel.
