Mini-Review: It's sort of baffling to me that Garafalo would have been considered an ugly girl here, even in comparison to Uma Thurman. I can't remember much more about this movie other than that. It seemed like a typical rom-com but targeted toward introspective cat ladies.

Mini-Review: A powerful contemporary yet prophetic tale of folksploitation and corruption in corporate media. Andy Griffith and the rest of the cast do an incredible job expressing a traumatic rise and fall from fame. There's lot of imagery and interesting shots that make this well worth re-watching.

Mini-Review: Everyone in this movie is stupid and a scumbag, but that's not what makes it bad. Maybe I'm overly sensitive but constant references to man and prison rape don't make me laugh. Some of the slapstick was funny though.

Mini-Review: It's nice to see that Stromboli from Pinocchio quit the marionette slave trade and became an Italian chef. Maybe someone should tell him and his partner to tone down the heavy Italian stereotypes though.

Mini-Review: While Keitel gives a very absorbing and consistent performance with quite a few very engaging scenes, the picture as a whole drags. I occasionally found myself drawn in by the imagery but never really discovered anything meaningful beyond shallow references. I may need to revisit this again to see if I'm missing things.
