Alexandra's Project (2003)
Avoid this like the plague.
I have never sat through a more gut wrenchingly horrid and frustrating film than Alexandra's Project. You'll be stuck in a cramped room with a crazy woman ranting about her hang ups with sex on a video for the better part of an hour.... pray your remote still works and that you can eject this before you throw something through your television.
Mystic River (2003)
Truly the best of the year to date.
Very absorbing - definitely the best offering I have seen from Clint Eastwood, the emotional power of 'Bridges of Madison County', but with a vast broadness of human experience. Sean Penn was excellent, although I was left feeling that there was more to know about Jimmy - but suspect that in the novel all the characters had more depth.
I regretted not having read the book before seeing this; perhaps I shall do it the other way around.
