Tully (2000)
10/10
stunning film!
14 March 2008
this movie is amazing...one of the absolute best i've seen in years! i rented the DVD one weekend and watched this movie six times...i now own it and never tire of it.

i wish i had the vocabulary to describe it as it should be. i loved everything about it...the acting, the characters were familiar and real, nothing contrived. i loved the simplicity of their relationships...one of my favorites is that between Tully Sr. and Claire. i loved the landscape and scenery...the family home, barns, corn fields, the movie theater, bar, and grocery in town.

i grew up in the midwest and have since moved, but was transported back while watching this...the same small town, farms, and fields. Tully Jr. and Earl actually reminded me of my own brothers and their relationship.

the music was great and complemented the movie...very simple, subtle, beautiful!

Lie with Me (2005)
1/10
there's no story here...just porn

Warning: Spoilers
romantic? emotionally deep? honest depiction of contemporary urban relationships? yikes...that's scary! this movie had absolutely no depth although it tried extremely hard to.

simply stated, it was really nothing more than soft porn. the main female character was a raging nymphomaniac. seriously, who masturbates that often? there was absolutely no depth to the relationship of the two main characters...it was purely sexual.

oh, and let's not forget abusive! the main male character was physically violent and controlling on several occasions...rape implied in one scene, choking/strangulation in another. since when does that constitute romance and emotional depth?!?
