The Ice Harvest (2005)
Thank God this movie was as short as it was...I couldn't stand another minute of it. I don't know what the heck John Cusack is thinking lately, but I thought this was another bad one. I thought it looked decent from the preview, but now I sure am glad I didn't see it at the movies and waste my money. The only saving grace it had was Oliver Platt, who is always amusing, no matter the role. I thought this was just trashy, too many trashy characters, strippers, mob bosses, people killing their wives, just nasty. I am not against violence or dark comedies, if they are done well, but this was just pretty bad. It reminded me a bit of L.A. Confidential, if you took out the talented actors, the plot, etc...sort of one of those old style movies, but with all new blood, guts, and strippers. I guess its obvious that I just didn't like it. Part of it could be my mood, I just found out that something I really loved got thrown in the garbage, something irreplacable to me, so maybe on a better day, I would have found some of this amusing, but today I thought it was a waste of my hour and 24 minutes.

hi shelly What happened? What got thrown out? i hate it when stuff like that happens. Call me if you get achance. Oh I wanted to write this to tell you to try and see Redeye. I really liked it--and as a bonus it's less then 90 minutes long. Great for short attention span folks like me. Also you can email me if you want. I check it almost every day now.
Bubba threw out my Choir tape from 1988, I was devestated, Lisa is checking for a copy though, so it might be okay. I do want to see Redeye, so I think I will pay per view it tonight after American Idol.
