Saving Grace (2000) - Woman's husband dies. Truth of husband's deceit comes crashing down upon woman. The affair. The debts. The cold reality. What to do? Perhaps...seeing as how she is a wonderful gardener and all...perhaps she could make a little money selling drugs? Not that she comes to the conclusion right away, mind you, it just sort of happens. And hilarity ensues. And the ending is odd, but I won't give everything away.
Rating: three of a kind.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) - This is pure pulp entertainment. It is pretty to look at, the story is well executed with enough little twists to keep it interesting, the acting is solid and the effects are spot-on. Worthwhile.
Rating: flush.
Apocalypse Now Redux (1979) - The longer director's cut. This is a brilliant movie to begin with, and while the extended version does not add too much essential, it doesn't detract from the story, either. This movie just drags you into a place that you are thankful not to be in, a vision of hell that is occasionally terrifying in its' beauty.
Rating: royal flush.
