Love & Sex (2000)
Above Average Favreau Film
Interesting film following the romances of a journalist. Famke Janssen traces her history of romances in her mind as she works diligently to meet a deadline for an article on romantic relationships to save her job. She uses this time to reflect on her on and off relationship with Jon Favreau. This film is a nice change of pace for Favreau. I would recommend this film if for nothing else then the scene with David Schwimmer.
Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988)
Ideas and Dreams that Count
Tucker: The Man and His Dreams is a movie concerning a car designer during the 1940s. Internal struggles within the company and government agencies funded by the major three major automobile makers destroy his dream. The film depicts the ability of bureaucracies within our country to conquer the imaginative ideas of the working people. It is an interesting movie about a man whose dreams were incredible for the times. This movie is the first time Joan Allen, Jeff Bridges, and Christian Slater collaborated to make a film. The Contender is a better film and possesses higher quality performances from all three actors, but Tucker is worth watching.
Collateral Damage (2002)
Same Old Schwarzenegger
Another in a long line of action films for Schwarzenegger. Unfortunately the film does not involve anything a viewer hasn't seen performed a thousand times before. The only changes that can be seen are the place of conflict and the face of the evil character. This film brings to question, when is Schwarzenegger ever going to choose a film that requires real acting rather then large muscles. Leguizamo and Turturro do provide the film with some comic relief like Tom Arnold in True Lies. Their roles allow the plot to run more smoothly and for the film to be more enjoyable. Unfortunately their roles are too small for them to save the film. Collateral Damage like Eraser and End of Days are full of plenty of action yet an unbelievable plot. This movie should be watched only if the viewer is looking for two hours for which they will not have to watch for any subplots or surprising developments.
Blow (2001)
Blow's ambition far exceeded its content
Blow is a lackluster attempt to display the life of a drug dealer. His life is filled with multiple set-ups and double crossings that are unable to conjure any amount of sympathy for a man who decided to take the fast road to the large life. The movie is a boring rendition of a person's life gone badly due to the decision of working on the wrong side of the law. This is another unfortunate attempt by Johnny Depp at acting, which in the end turns out like all the others..a total failure.
