Month: April 2002

Love Tim Allen, much to my own chagrin. Love Janeane Garofalo. Love Jason Lee. Love Rene Russo. Adore Patrick Warburton. Afraid of Tom Sizemore. Love Barry Sonnenfeld, when he’s on. (When he’s off, it’s Wild Wild West time, which is too horrifying to contemplate.) So this slight tale loosely spun out of barely interconnected character … more…

DIRECTOR CARL FRANKLIN: I really liked Traffic. I wish the whole movie could look like this, all gritty and hard and real. But Ashley’s stylist put the kibosh on that right away, you better believe.

Ever been awakened on a Sunday morning by the doorbell, and you stumble to answer it and you’re hung over and exhausted and you look like hell, and it’s bright shiny Mormons, and you just wanna smack ’em? Now imagine if they moved into your house and wouldn’t leave you alone, ever. That’s what The Other Side of Heaven is about, only it’s from the Mormons’ point of view, and they think you’re perfectly happy to listen to them prattle on.

This one is going to drive the sick fetishists online crazy. When they type ‘crush movie’ into Google, they’re gonna come up with this Andie MacDowell romantic dramedy, which isn’t so much about the crush she has on a cute young stud but the way her best ‘friends’ try to crush their relationship.
