The Center of the World (2001)
great film of modern people
riprock's review is right on. The guy is looking for a good time but in the sense of a somewhat naive dude who's not used to interacting socially. The woman is looking to be comfortable in her job and not having to interact too socially. Yet they are both drawn into each other by their commonality.
Not a film for everybody. Not raunchy enough for the porn freaks, not graphic enough for the art freaks, too graphic for the love story freaks. We're all freaks.
This movie hits a perfect balance in showing the two sides of love, lust, and lingering love.
Great photography, pixillation, mood inspiring, cold -- yes but that's part of the story. Bringing the Carlo Gugino character just at the right time, sent this movie over the edge as as superb look into modern psyches.
This is not a sexy movie. it's a relationship movie. but not just of man <-> woman, but of person <-> person. It's deeper and more personal than many of you think. that's why you don't like it, find it uncomfortable. You see yourself, it's lonely, it's scary, it's fun.

Whatever (1998)
there are worse coming of age films
well cast and well acted, this movie doesn't add anything new to the genre, but hits the mark for its intended audience. some of the editing is a little bumpy between scene transitions and it sometimes feels like it can't decide between being a feel good movie or a rebel movie.
nice middle class girls who want to fantasize about being naughty yet eventually do the right thing will love it.
the rest of us, well, seriously, who really smokes menthol cigarettes ?
Funny Games (1997)
what to do when life gets boring
This is a film about mindless torture. It starts off well, and for those of you who have watched other movies where the victims will hopefully survive and get revenge, this movie keeps you hanging on. But eventually it becomes boring. Yes, boring, not because once it's clear, it's just a brutal movie. So what? It lacks the twist to make it interesting and unique. Some of the scenes go on waaaay too long. Has some interest as a genre movie and the acting is very
good but it needs an added twist to make it interesting. the ending really sucked.
Wildly Available (1996)
predictable well acted feel good fluff
while well acted and edited, there is little else to recommend this movie. The wife is the strongest character but there is not enough individuality or depth to her or her husband or the other woman to fully involve the viewer. I used my fast forward button often.
