So yeah, I shit you not, but I’ve had this flick sitting on my desk for the last 2.5 months (thank you Blockbuster.com) & for some odd reason I’ve neglected it b/c I have this thing with movies where I feel like spending 1.5-2hrs watching a particular flick is a complete waste of my time (not that writing this isn’t, or anything), so I waited & waited until tonight, when I felt the urge to waste my time & let me tell you, my friends, it was time well wasted because as I watched this simple, yet oddly super complex movie unfold, I felt as if I was sitting inside the Palace Theatre on Broadway (assuming I had a few hundred to burn), front row, center b/c the dialogue was deliciously simple, yet effective, the story even simpler & of course, it had scandal, money & beauty—3 tenants of a bastardly life, mind you—and with that in hand, my favorite scene had to be the long exchange inside that one room between Stripper Natalie Portman & the super depressed & totally fucked up Clive Owen, so yeah, open your scandalous minds & watch this movie when you feel like wasting some quality time b/c the only downer had to be Julia Roberts’ face—of which I am not a particular fan.
