Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Delirious (2007)

Pretty hard to take for the first half or so -- basically while Steve Buscemi is in charge. That's not to say the first half is bad, not in the least. The raw desperation and paranoia in Buscemi's paparazzo character was just so palpable that avoiding him felt like the smart thing to do.

Michael Pitt also does a fine job as the street kid with a natural, likable way with both people and acting. I wound up getting sucked in and enjoying myself.
