Kill Me Later

Summary: Very Cool
Review: This movie must of had a good writer/caster and a poor director. The story and acting is excellent, but the horrible cheesy photoshop-like effects need to go. It looks like a good movie that ran out of money, but definately worth a watch. Great for people sick of watching aimless happy go lucky hollywood "blockbusters," this is something that belongs on IFC.

Summary: Great Flick!
Review: This was a great movie!! I jumped in the middle of it and it caught my eye! Boy am I glad that I stayed - this movie has you wanting Charlie and Shawn to get together the whole time (at least I did) They need each other for survival and they finally figure it out at the end! Don't want to give too much away but it was a great suspense up to the end also! I reccomend this movie to anyone!

Summary: Take my life...please!
Review: Ultimately slight, but nonetheless cleverly inventive low-budget take on a hoary old film noir plot device. A fleeing armed robber, cornered by a cop on the rooftop of the bank he's just knocked over, unintentionally saves the life of one of the bank's employees-a suicidal young woman who is seconds away from taking her fatal plunge. The desperate criminal soon realizes that Fate has chosen the worst possible person to serve as his "human shield"...someone who WANTS to die! After this setup, I thought I had this one pegged as a slight variation on "Ruthless People" or "The Ref"--but it actually turned out to be a closer cousin to "Buffalo 66" or "Harold & Maude", films that seem "dark" but upon closer inspection are actually quite life-affirming love stories. The two very appealing lead performances hold your interest throughout, particularly from newcomer (to me at least) Selma Blair, who has a sort of Linda Fiorentino sexiness morphed with Sandra Bernhard's caustic attitude. The cinematographer makes good use of the Vancouver B.C. environs (although as someone who lives in the Northwest, I had to chuckle at one rugged evergreen Alpine setting that is supposed to represent the "high mountains of Mexico"). Worth a look.

Summary: My guilty pleaure
Review: When watching this movie you feel so consumed by the complications that always seem to be around the corner. I had never actually seen the begining of the movie, but knew i loved it when i first saw it. It takes you on a trill ride of life as it could be, if you were to only meet the right person...or the wronge one in this case. A "dark" comedy with a passionate twist on love. All of this makeks the movie great, but what makes it wonderful is Max Beesley's fabulous accent. It simply made me melt!
