Goodbye, Lover/****
(rated R)
Patricia Arquette stars in a film about a triple-crossing love triangle with murder on thier minds in this stylish, intricate and delightfully twisted riff on the film noir style made so famous by Double Indemnity and its many progeny. What makes this film so enjoyable, is not only watching this perfectly cast film follow the story's many turns, but confronting an ending that even the most ardent noir fan could have anticipated.

Hideous Kinky/**
(rated R)
This is the kind of film that film critics like to describe as "lush", "picturesque", or even "sweeping". Hideous Kinky features Kate Winslet in a stand-out performance, even better than her role in "Titanic". Unfortunatly, her character is that of a horribly irresponsible and self-centered mother who esacpes the secuirty of England in order to drag her children throughout the poverty of Morocco in an attempt to "find herself" in the haze of the "if-it-feels-good-do-it" era of the 1970's.

The Out-of-Towners/**
(rated PG-13)
There are moments when we see why Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin would have been perfect for this material. Ms. Hawn using her still ample sexual charms (It is not fair that this woman looks as beautiful and glowing after all these years) to get a poor sucker to give up his hotel key. Mr. Martin hanging from a sign outside the hotel as they escape from hotel security. These scenes refer to some of these two actor's most celebrated moments in other films. Now, they look painful.

The Matrix/*****
(rated PG-13)
For a seen-it-all film school graduate, the greatest pleasure in going to the movies is witnessing a filmmaker, or in this case teams of filmmakers, succeed in brining a new idea to the screen. Even rarer, is to see a film that dares to be different. The Matrix is such a film. Click here for the full review
