As certain ideas about how one should lead their life become unbearably out of reach, it's easy to get stuck in a cycle of not-so-healthy behaviors. Following the daily routine of the piteous James, we wince at his seemingly endless search for food, which masks his quest for true love, which completely trumps his voracious appetite for sexual contact (with another person). Carried mostly by its insightful quips about relationships by Jeff Garlin and the gaggle of gorgeous funny ladies (Sarah Silverman, Amy Sedaris, & Bonnie Hunt), I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With is a must see for the emotionally crippled and physically unfit.

Amazingly bad acting and terrible special effects make this wannabe gorefest a hilariously fun watch. Uncharacteristically of his usually suave self, Brad Pitt will leave you wondering what it is that has made him into the A-list celebrity that he is today. Predictable and utterly sad in practically every aspect, Cutting Class is a great watch if you want a good laugh or just something to occasionally glance at while eating your frozen dinner in your sad, lonely apartment.

Melodrama bordering on trite exploitation film, American Gigolo survives almost solely on its interesting visual style and its "fringe" factor (that being the exploits of a high-class male prostitute). The slightly regurgitated story line of an accused searching for those that are taking every measure to set him up for murder has its moments of eye-rolling and laughable dialogue but somehow performances by Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton makes it a fairly enjoyable and visually appealing film.
