The Good Girl (2002)
Worth Seeing
The Good Girl is a dark comedy that throws some painful reality in our faces and doesn't pretend to offer easy answers. Will Justine leave Phil and run off with Holden? Is there another way out of her humdrum existence? What really matters in 21st century suburbia anyway? Is it really necessary to give up your dreams as you get older? Seeing how these issues are settled makes the film well worth a viewing, as long as you don't expect a garden variety romantic comedy. This is definitely not that.
Panic Room (2002)
Tense
Fincher employs every tension producing technique, from slow motion and exaggerated silence to rapid inter-cutting editing and anxious close ups. The result is a tight and tense viewing experience. Highly reccomend this film.
Soundman (1998)
One of the best indie films I've seen in a long time.
I saw this film at Slamdance and am not sure what happened to it. It was an amazing work for a first time director (Steven Widi Ho) and featured and Oscar worthy performance by Wayne Pere (The Soundman). It has been a long while since I've seen a different voice in filmmaking. I hope to see more work from Ho and Pere.
