    Kinky Boots  (2006)

    This movie is one of the best examples of sly fun and cunning satire mixed with good doses of drama and real characters. The real and seemingly unreal merge together and make a marvelous movie that should have nearly everyone smiling at the end. Well directed and ever better acted, this movie should make you realize just how versatile an actor Chiwetel Ejiofor is (especially if you then watch Serenity after this with his turn as an ice-cold assassin).


    Can't recommend this film more highly. It's a great piece of work...as are the shoes in question in the title.

    Bottle Shock  (2008)

    Interesting and well-acted movie with a wide variety of expected good appearances by BIll Pullman, Alan Rickman, and surprising jobs done by Chris Pine, Freddy Rodriguez, Eliza Dushku, Dennis Farina, and Rachael Taylor.

    While I stayed engaged and interested in the whole movie, the third act loses focus a bit and entirely abandons an interesting b-subplot involving Rodriguez in favor of the a-plot with Pullman, Pine, and Rickman. That's my only complaint about a well-done and well-shot movie I'm going to be highly recommending.

    The Family Stone  (2005)

    Watched this (in my wife's DVD collection) out of boredom and was surprised. The movie has more depth than the trailer would have us believe. It's predictable to the extreme, but the cast makes it worth watching. This movie's also convinced me that Claire Danes and Dermott Mulroney are both vastly better actors than they often get to show and should be fighting for better scripts.

     

    And once again Craig Nelson gets one of the greatest movie wives imaginable (topped only by Holly Hunter in the Incredibles).
