English Acid Jazz Under Neon: "Charlie's Theme" by The Jimi Entley Sound (2002)

Under Neon Movie Reviews: 'Elsker dig for evigt (Open Hearts) (2002)

Movie: Elsker dig for evigt (Open Hearts)
Year: 2002
Rating: 8.5/10 Stars ********'

Another excellent Danish Susanne Bier movie, and also starring Mads Mikkelsen. A young couple have their lives dashed in a car accident that leaves the young man paralyzed from the neck down. A complicated love affair occurs as a result and a family is shorn apart. Quite a good and believable story, don't watch if your looking for something light-hearted, but do if your looking for a quality foreign film. 

A Brief Movie Review for 'Changing Lanes' (2002)

Movie = Changing Lanes (2002)

Director = Roger Michell

Rating = 4/5 Stars ****

This movie is actually quite a bit better than it sounds, and has a pretty good cast too (includes Ben Affleck, Samuel L. Jackson, William Hurt, Amanda Peet, and a few others) despite not really getting much attention upon its release. Affleck and Jackson have a fender bender on the JFK and this sets the course of their day in which they manage to just about ruin each other's lives with acts of manipulation and vengeance, but wait, there seems to be some sort of moral lesson here too, like "treat others as you would be treated," and that anything else just leads to chaos and cyclical conflict/drama. Definitely check this one out, its fast paced, has lots of action, and is a bit suspenseful too. I would watch it again sometime.
