You Kill Me
An independent, charming dark comedy starring Ben Kingsley, Tea Leoni, Luke Wilson, Bill Pullman, and Denis Farina. Kingsley plays an alcoholic hitman for his Polish-American family. Unfortunately, his alcoholism keeps getting in the way of his job, so his family sends him out to west to sober up. He reluctantly goes and then meets some other oddball characters and the hilarity ensues. Definitely a must see if you like dark comedies or Ben Kingsley!

Oy! I was very disappointed with this "thriller". I love John Cusack so much (as an actor), and I love good, suspenseful thrillers, but alas, there was very little suspense and no thrills in this movie. They never really explain things either at the end of the movie. It just felt like a shallow movie. The acting was good...I really believed Cusack was scared...and SamJack is great at the beginning, making us afraid for Cusack to enter the room...but I kept waiting for something scary to happen, and it never did. However, I can't say it was the worst movie I saw this weekend. That distinction goes to.....

The Fantastic Four 2: The Rise of the Silver Surfer
On the plus side, Julian McMahon (aka Dr. Doom) looked hotter than ever (once he got rid of his disfigured face). On the negative side - the plot, the writing, the acting, a blond Jessica Alba. I dunno...I didn't HATE it. To me, almost any super hero/action movie is going to have SOME decent parts no matter how bad it is. But the dialog was extremely poor. And the villain (Silver Surfer) isn't even really the villain, which is sort of important. EEgads...skip this one...wait for it to be on TV.
