High Fidelity (2000)
Relationship Honesty (for a change)
The best thing about this movie, apart from the always enjoyable pairing of John and Joan Cusack is that it portrays a much more honest view of modern relationships then the average film. It shows that people can carry baggage from adolescent events and if they're not understood then they can cause problems in later life. Rob Gordon is a refreshingly cynical character who manages to maintain his romanticism, and his girlfriend, Laura, played by Iben Hjejle, is a delightfully true character who doesn't just melt and fall back into Rob's arms where other female romantic leads would have. Though it may appear to be a 'typical' romantic comedy from the trailers I say give this one a chance, it is multi faceted and if you don't relate to it on one or more levels then I'd say you're one of the lucky few who's never had your heart broken without understanding why. In which case I'm not sure if I am jealous of you or sad for you.
Choose Me (1984)
Good looking film
And by that I mean not only are the cast good looking (remember John Larroquette as a young man?) but the entire film looks nice. Good camera angles, nice lighting, use of locations etc. The acting is good, there are areas where the dialogue gets a little laboured but it pulls out of it pretty quickly. I enjoyed this movie, it's a sensory experience. Not a brain-buster, but easy to watch. John Larroquette is also un-credited as being the voice of the radio station where Genevieve Bujold works.
