Burning Down the House (2001)
Madcap black comedy
Very offbeat black comedy like a low budget version of The Player with the great John Savage starring as a former big time director who literally has his house burnt down to finance a movie. The beginning of the film is a bit slow but then it turns into a manic rush of madcap highjinx watching Savage with his B Producer 'uh nut ball friend (James Wilder) trying to get their movie made. Great cast with even a cameo by Mick Fleetwood.
Allie & Me (1997)
Charming comedy
Very charming small comedy. Joanne Baron does a great job as Allie. Dyan Cannon and Harry Hamlin are particularly funny too. Director Michael Rymer does a great job guiding this breezy comedy through its paces. His talent is seen here where in my opinion it was horrible lacking on Queen of the Damned.
Rukajärven tie (1999)
Very moving film
Very well done film about the battle between Finland and Russia in the early stages of World War 2. Well shot, well acted and exceptionally moving. I found this film on DVD at Vidiots in Los Angeles. Never had heard of it before and found it to be a big treat. The label lists Vanguard Cinema has the distributor. I highly recommend it.
