So lots of important things just not ones from the list…

The Whole Nine Yards
This is a whole lot less clever than I remember having watched it before. And really the hitman’s wife and dentist?- they love each other, having spent one night together, and him having said she was beautiful. Well that’s sounds like a good basis for a marriage. Loved Amanda Peet’s character though, and Bruce Willis was fun, the general film was fun I just didn’t like the love plot for Matthew Perry- it was a little under-developed.

Wild Things
Naughty but nice, I think I must have originally seen a cut version of this film, as the threesome was a little less risque. It was a clever film, well acted and just great cinematography, the opening where they move along the swamp (?), and later on where it just holds on the court scene and then slowly moving out, it was a pretty clever film considering the subject matter. And it had Bill Murray! But yeah motivation- are people in real life that good actors? And who loved who? Did anyone love anyone? And how did the ending work exactly? I’m sure there was a body… And well done film on having a little Kevin Bacon nudity to do something for the gender balance.
He’s in some strange films (liked him in this) but Picture Pefect? Why Bacon, why?

And finally The Opposite of Sex
I think I tried to watch this on TV nearer it’s release date and thought it was all about sex. It really isn’t. It’s a great film, although once again motivation (at least) for the lead character is off. Are her actions due to grief? (The Stepfather?)Abandonment issues (her bio dad). Fear? We hear a lot of her point of view (which is pretty brilliant) throught the narration- which I usually hate, but she was a fun character to hear from and she didn’t state the obvious or warble on. I also loved a lot of Lucia’s comments, and generally the characters’ interactions. It’s a really brilliant mesh of characters. But the spark of why DeeDee acts the way she does isn’t clear. I guess you’re meant to think it’s her family life, but that isn’t obvious from what’s shown. Or it could be that she’s just selfish and manipulative, because that’s all she’s seen. Might have to watch it again. Anyway it’s sort of not quite a black-comedy, more a murky-gray because it’s got a really sweet message in the end.
