Tied in Knots (2008)
A comedy that is contemporary for our time when a down trodden used car salesman misuses the Internet in order to find the woman of his dreams.
The beginning starts a little slow, but quickly builds up to a laugh riot with lots of gags and quick witted one liners.
Tied in Knots hits on all 8 cylinders in driving home these times of the Information Super Highway madness. In an attempt to find the woman of his dreams, Saravan (Jamison Yang), goes a little too far in trying to impress a young woman he meets on a social network site by building himself up bigger than he really is. When the time comes for them to meet, he gets his buddies (a collection of misfit friends) to help him steal a mansion for the few days. The situation quickly becomes more befuddled when his Internet date shows up with her mother. Saravan winds up falling for the mother but continues to spin more tall tales, digging himself deeper and deeper. His lies start to compound on top of each other so quickly it would make a priest kick out a stain glass window. Of course, in the end, it all spirals out of control.
Jamison Yang (Bruce Almighty, Million Dollar Baby) delivers a stellar performance as the character of Saravan.
Greg Utt (who plays Peter), blends his boyish good looks and innocent honesty to move the story forward to its climatic ending.
Gary Stretch (Alexander, The Heavy), is hilarious as the unsuspecting real estate agent caught up in Saravan's deception like a fly in a spider's web.
Sara Lane (Belly of the Beast), plays Kate, the young woman Saravan meets on the Internet. Not only is Sara a beautiful woman, her performance as Kate brings realism to the movie that, without her, may not have existed.

True Romance
Truly a wonderful movie and probably Christian Slater's best performance. Some may argue with me on this one (that would be your Pulp Fiction die hard fans), but I also believe that it is Quentin Tarantino's best script ever. A deranged love story surrounded by impossible odds. Using street smarts, sometimes, our hero "Clarence Worley" played by Christian Slater, mostly trips and falls out of the way of bad situations. You can see the train wreck coming as the calamity of errors start brewing from the very beginning to it's climatic end. The cameo roles play by Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken are too good to be missed. I have watched this movie a few times looking for the holes and haven't been able to find even one.

If it were possible to give this waste of film any less than a single star rating I would have done it. What a piece of drivel and a total waste of anyones time to even think about watching it. Historically it has zero value and hold absolutely no bases in fact. Allow me to break down all the elements of the film for you. The cinematography is so lousy it leads one to believe that they must have hired a drunkard to run the camera. The editing is choppy and impossible to follow. The actors in this film must have been hand picked by a fourth grade drama teacher. The sound score is completely ridicules, and I hope whoever wrote it didn't give up his day job at the car wash. If I were the director of this film, I would have either killed myself, or moved to Burma. Of course they're are some idiots who actually liked the film. These are the same people who laugh at children getting hacked to pieces. You can find them and their type hanging out at your local parks mens room.
