Serendipity (2001)
Refreshing
I don't know about you but when I go to the movies or I stay at home and watch one I want to end and feel happy. Most of the time, the movies that are being produced are either dramas, stories based on comic books, war films or extremely violent action movies. This is why Serendipity was extremely refreshing, in my opinion. It is not that the plot is incredibly original nor excellently developed, but the movie certainly proves to be optimistic, funny and leaves you with a warm feeling after seeing it.
Many of the lines in the movie can crack you up in laughter, either due to the witty writing or the brilliantly performances of the actors. Jeremy Piven is hilarious and they couldn't have cast a better wingman for Cusack. Some of the situations are funny just to think about them, and overall it is a nice movie. If you are looking for a light comedy with touches of romance Serendipity is sure to satisfy you.
Dead in the Water (2002)
Weird Movie
I saw this movie recently and although it is not a great movie, I just couldn't change the channel. Dominique's acting is really good, the guys are less than convincing but the movie still managed to keep my attention for an hour and something. The plot is not common, I mean how often do you find a movie were the characters are scared of themselves and of all the rest?, and the conflict is actually very intriguing, it really got me thinking what would I do in such a situation. It is not one of those movies easy to watch, and perhaps many people won't like it but I found it very interesting. To one of the comments that said that the "Mexican" guy wasn't good looking I would like to say two things: a) He was Brazilian. Brazilian, not Mexican. It is pretty different. and b)handsome guys do not make a movie interesting or worth watching. If you want to see a different movie, that might not be very normal you should watch this one.
