labor day media consumption

"point of no return" (1993) - bridget fonda is a hott jodie foster-milla jovovich hybrid. she wears skimpy clothing and makes out with a dashing not-yet-uncloseted dermot mulroney (from "my best friend's wedding"). i would never have guessed he likes the boyz. cuz i would totally do him. enjoyably violent late night flick. (see if you can spot michael rapaport during his 10 seconds on screen...)

"cinderella man" (2005) - renee zellweger is really really not good looking.

"camp hollywood" (2004) - engaging documentary about a bunch of (mostly) canucks attempting to find fame and fortune while living at highland gardens motel, a dingy hole (but with a pool!) located at the foot of the hollywood hills. lots of skinny pretty girls, ugly men, and booze. one girl (brooke nevins) has since scored a recurring role on that semi-hit 'the 4400' on usa network. so one of them actually made it! sorta. if you can call acting in a film with matthew lillard as the lead "making it". lacey chabert vehicles are nice too. but seriously, i would never have the guff-balls-grit to make it in hollywood as an actress/comedian/anything. so mad props to ya'll hustlers!

"wallace & grommit: curse of the were-rabbit" (2005) - my second time seeing this one. cute pig-nosed bunnies. and grommit. my ideal man. if only he weren't a cartoon clay dog.

"little miss sunshine" (2006) - my opinion of the movie is the same as theogoodell's. a taste:

"The overall feeling is of something painfully sweet that has been calculatedly sour-coated, as opposed to something sour which has been sugarcoated... It is a feel-good movie packaged and seamlessly designed to be digestible to movie snobs, and, infuriatingly, it succeeds, like a sweater you really like and are ashamed to admit comes from... the Gap."
