Boarding Gate 1-String



Former hooker does stuff. Watch 'Run Lola Run' instead. Drugs, guns, and assassins in their underwear...not as interesting as you'd think.

Inside 1-Strings



Babies and car crashes collide. I've seldom seen movies with this much promise fail so epically. What an incredible survival tale the turns into a witless cop drama, with extra unsubtle irony. Watch and be disappointed. Super gross though, so if you're into that, go ahead.

Chaos Theory 3-Strings



Guy has crazy life. Lots of interesting plot twists, but this movie really falls into the 'people never really talk to each other' category. I sit there and think, 'why doesn't he just talk to his old lady?' The film starts quirky and ends sincerely, which doesn't fit the vibe one bit.

Delirious 3-Strings



Loser paparazzi try to get gigs. It was fun watching bottom feeders try to make their way up. The story starts to whine towards the end and takes some really lame turns when the protagonist becomes a huge star, but it's a rip, I guess.

Charlie Wilson's War 2-Strings



Charlie Wilson inadvertently lays the foundations for the current Iraq war...and is rewarded. Put this film in the 'George Clooney Something Is Missing' category. Big Hollywood stars performing award winning roles with a circuitous role plot line.

Grace Is Gone 4-Strings



Grace dies in the Iraq war, man can't tell his kids. Tragic story, artfully told. Not perfect, certainly long on the tooth, but if you're a soft, wuss male, this one will pay off, even though the premise is a bit of a stretch (wife marine, dad supermom).

Little Manhattan 2-Strings



Boy navigates divorce and 'first love.' I have absolutely no idea how this one ended up in my cue...another reason to say no to beer, folks. Kind of a cute story, even if it is entirely unbelievable...which means this innocent love story, isn't really innocent.

Grass 2-Strings



Doc about the history of weed. Some good historical stuff, but terrible production values really ruin the underlying story, turning a perfectly interesting story about the history of weed into a childish melodrama. Really disappointing. 

Dirty Work 2-Strings



Lots of comedians come out for Norm Macdonald's vanity project. Some funny jokes and silliness, but there is no real plot, just a ton of 'set set punch.' It was a lot like 'Beer League,' if that makes any sense.
