Spanish Judges (2000)
Unapproachable, but give it a try
This is not a bad movie, but it sure doesn't greet the viewer in any expected way. You're not given any hit about who to like or who is the bad guy, so if you get stuck trying to figure that out it's going to make the movie less enjoyable. Although it's twisty plot makes you think that's what it's all about, you really have to approach it as a character-driven piece. Even the characters you end up disliking (I found Mars Girl annoying to no end) are played well, so you can't really fault the actors for how it doesn't all quite come together. I found myself *wanting* to like the movie more, but I felt a little too isolated as a viewer to care that much.
The Sure Thing (1985)
Just watch When Harry Met Sally again
I only saw The Sure Thing because of the near-7 rating on IMDB, and you people owe me 100 minutes! Well, maybe only 90 minutes, because it does have some (very small) high points. For the most part, though, this is a blandly predictable entry into the romantic comedy arena. The actors play their roles well enough, but the roles lack any real depth so once the stage is set everything plods along to the anti-climatic conclusion. 2/10
