The Rock (1996)
1/10
Horrible
31 December 2006
This movie is terrible. It's all ridiculous action and explosions--has NOTHING to do with Alcatraz, the characters are poorly drawn, it's way too long, and the script is laughable. I was hoping that this movie would at least be a fun popcorn flick, but it is PAINFUL. This movie is terrible.

Trust the Man (2005)
3/10
Shallow
18 August 2006
The only thing this movie has going for it is the acting talent. There is no story, no arc, and the characters take an incredibly shallow view on relationships. Just like the other 2 B. Freundlich movies, it is all talk and no substance. Boring and has nothing to say. Tries way too hard to be funny, and all the forced jokes just fall flat. Since IMDb is forcing me to write 10 full lines, I will continue by saying that Julianne Moore is luminous as always, David Duchovny is very likable, Billy Crudup is over-the-top and annoying (scenery chewing much?) and Maggie Gyllenhaal is wonderful. She is the best thing in the movie and rises above the weak material.
