Anger Management (2003)

All of the laughs can be had from the trailer. It sucked me in.

Don't be fooled. Every joke worth laughing at can be found in the trailer of this tired, sequel-like version of Punch Drunk Love. Yes, we see Sandler appearing calm when he should get worked up. How funny. Oh, look, now he's getting worked up. Even funnier.

If you need a Sandler movie to make you laugh, rent one of his classics. If you see this, it will only make you angry. And that's no laughing matter.

Relative Evil (2001)

An amazing movie that no one will see

[9/10 · 4 March 2003]

This is one of those little movies that you leave just shaking your head thinking, `this is probably the best movie playing in this theatre right now, too bad no one will ever get to see it.' Personally, I just happened by it when my girlfriend convinced me to go to an Independent Film Festival. This has got to be the most independent film I have ever seen, I even got to ask the director the question, `what are you going to do to get this movie out there.'

Not all movies need a lot of money to tell a great and touching story. I was consumed by this tale of a 17-year-old boy struggling with alcohol addiction. His family is not just a bunch of stereotypes placed there to progress the story, they, along with everyone else, have the feeling of real people. You will not predict how this movie will end but, then again, you'll never get the chance to watch it.
