Vertical Limit (2000)
This one will rivet you to your seat
I went to see Vertical Limit because it looked like it would be exciting. Wow! What an understatement. I've always been afraid of heights. Not all heights, but the kinds that make your life depend upon your grip. If I ever had the urge to be a rock climber or anything like it, seeing this film completely removed any such urge. From beginning to end, this is a real white-knuckle experience. I didn't see anyone go to the john or go out to get popcorn. The actors are capable, and while the plot is somewhat weak, the climbing sequences truly hold one's attention, to say the least. If you like excitement, go see this movie.
L'école de la chair (1998)
A truly beautiful lady, but a weak plot
Isabelle Ann Huppert is a gorgeous, mature woman. She dominates this film, and even though a strong cast supports her, she still dominates. Her motive for sticking with this jerk remains cloudy, unless he is the world's greatest lover. I was mesmerised by Huppert, however, and I will look for more films with her in them, and there are quite a lot of them.
