Traffic (2000)
A complex tale with superb acting and directing?
This is a story that needs to be told, but I am not entirely sure that it entertainment. Perhaps viewing the directing skills and individual acting performances make this trip to hell and back worthwhile. I found the script all too often be predictable and the end is too nice nice considering the events that the viewer has just watched. Will I watch this film again? I am not sure, but If I do, it will be to watch the individual acting performances, especially the extraordinary work of the supporting actors.
Funny Games (1997)
I hate horror stories, but this is too well crafted to miss.
This is a tale of unspeakable horror that captures the viewers imagination with superbly crafted and well acted scenes. Even the subtitles seemed to vanish as I watched with anticipation of a rescue that vanishes again and again. Hitchcock only dreamed of doing a film this good.
Small Time Crooks (2000)
If you love Woody Allen one liners and great music, you will love this film.
Like most Woody Allen scripted movies, Small Time Crooks is alive with one liners and swing jazz. I love the way the music tells the story. Tracy Ullman is spectacular in this film. This film is refreshing because it gets away from the insecure romantic theme found in so many Woody Allen films. I am thinking of the great " Play it again Sam". This is about a common small time crook, who is washing dishes and is tired of being poor, who fails once again by making his wife rich! A "watch out what you wish for buddy " story that is full of good laugh out loud jokes and great swing jazz. An hour and a half of real entertainment.
