    What you'll find here are comments on the movies through which I've cried, yawned, laughed, and rolled my eyes since it first occurred to me to record my film thoughts while they're still fresh in my mind (early 2002, some early reviews thrown in as a bonus. You're welcome). Entry dates reflect my screening -- parenthetical dates are US release (aka Oscar eligibility) years.
    Yeah, a movie review blog isn't very original. But originality is overrated. Just ask Michael Bay.

Dinner with Friends (2001)

After an excruciating first half-hour (mostly because of the incompetence of Andie MacDowell) it actually wound up being poignant. I sure do like Dennis Quaid & Greg Kinnear, although I noticed that in the scenes between Dennis and Andie, he actually seemed to "stoop" to her level of acting. I wonder if that was some kind of subconscious acting sleight of hand to trick us viewers into thinking she's as good as he is? Hmmm.... something to ponder.
