Swing Blade (1997)
Too funny!
This short film is absolutely hilarious!!! I especially love the phone call scene spoofed from Swingers. Good stuff! If you love parodies, this is right down your alley!
Bounce (2000)
Bad date movie
Bounce was a decent movie, however I was very disappointed because I had such high expectations. If this were a no-name film I happened to catch on cable, I would have been pleasantly surprised. The timing was really off.
I don't recommend this as a date movie either. The way Amaral lies and manipulates throughout the movie tends to make guys look like snakes. Unfortunately, I took a date to see Bounce and little did I know she had a trust issue with guys in the first place, and well this movie took the wind out of our sails on that date.
Beautiful Girls (1996)
A movie full of nostalgia
I am fully aware that big time critics tend to dog this movie. That being said:
Going into this movie with no bias, I was captured by it. The comaraderie between the men in this film remind me of winter nights drinking with my buddies in high school and talking about beautiful girls. This movie encompasses that feeling. I was pulled in by the richness of the environment, the confusion of the characters, and the underlying message... that elusive underlying message. I'm not sure whether to feel happy for Willy that he is leaving with his girlfriend, or sad that he didn't choose to moment the truth and wait for that girl who is that "something beautiful" that he has been looking for. It's this creative tension that evokes feelings for me. I believe that identifying with this character is probably the key as to why I love this movie so much. I highly recommend this movie! Especially for a twenty-somthing person who is in between "being out of high school" and "being what I want to be when I grow up".
