All the Real Girls (2003)
A treacly Hallmark card in its script, acting, score, and cinematography.
It has all the self-important trappings of an Art Film, but is emotionally disingenuous and, worse, boring. Who cares about these self-involved people? It has all the angst and hand-wringing of Woody Allen at his most annoying, but none of the cleverness.
Un oso rojo (2002)
Excellent!
I saw this movie at the Sundance Film Festival. Knew nothing about it going in, but was quickly drawn in by the absorbing story and the lead actor's tough deadpan -- Clint Eastwood with a paunch. The choices the character makes as the story unfolds are never predictable. He's a great antihero character. And the shootout scene at the end is very clever and funny. 10/10.
Peep Show (1999)
Hilarious
Saw this at the 1999 Hamptons Film Festival. I wish I could get ahold of a copy to show to my girlfriend. It's such a sendup of gender stereotypes, executed with great wit. Worth every second of its nine minutes.
