Little Chenier (2006)
A better subtitle would've been "A Cajun Fantasy"
Me, I don't know people dat talk like dat.
Every stereotype imaginable was used. I had a bad feeling from the beginning when T-boy dove in to wrestle the alligator that the movie wasn't going to be anything like what I'd expected.
If this movie had been set in the past instead of present day it might've been more believable. We actually have elections down here. The sheriff's son wouldn't automatically assume his job when he dies.
How anyone can claim that this is an accurate depiction of southwest Louisiana is beyond me. While the actors do a good job of caricaturizing the characters according to the script and the movie looks good, it is nothing more than a fantasy.
American Beauty (1999)
I love this movie!!!
I knew just several minutes into this is a beautifully put together movie that I was gonna like it. Annette Bening is perfect as the cold-fish bitch of a wife whose world seems to be crumbling around her. Kevin Spacey kept me in stitches with his antics. His mid-life rebellion had me pulling for him to win. What a laugh riot it was! Now I know why my therapist suggested that I see this movie; because it reflects so much of my wife's and my life. I pick it for the best movie, best screenplay and Spacey for best actor Oscar.
