DVD Review: In the Cut - 1 star (at most) I figured a film starring Meg Ryan would have to be good. Wrong! Didn't finish watching this one. It's quite weird. The creepy theme music should have clued me in right away. To say this film is in poor taste would be tactful. To say it's pornographic might be closer to the truth. Why would Meg Ryan do this film? Maybe she wanted to expand beyond her "wide eyed charming nice girl" image? By comparison, that old image looks pretty good. We kept thinking it might get better but finally gave up. If I were you, I wouldn't bother with this one. It's repulsive. 11:03:33 PM    comment []

DVD Review: Out of Time - 3 stars I chose this thriller, "Out of Time," because it stars Denzel Washington. He didn't disappoint me. This is a good classic style suspense film, with "everything" - great plot twists, on the edge of your seat suspense, sex, comedy, and love. What else is there? Well, OK, there's profound meaning. That's why I'm giving this film 3 stars instead of 4. It's fine entertainment that leaves me smiling. That's a lot. Highly recommended. 10:58:42 PM    comment []
