Tank Girl

Have to start this off with saying there is no way that anyone other then Lori Petty would have ever been able to play this. It's almost as if this part was written for her (even thought it was written years before she became an actress). The way she mouths off at the enemy, and has a very playful attitude in the face of everything is really just all her. Problem was that constant talk like that kind of got on my nerves after about 45min and it really never stops. This film has parts when you are really in to what is going on like her escaping from her captures, building up her arsenal, and or fighting someone. However there are also moments when you are looking at your watch thinking "how much more of this is there"? There is a lot of comic book work in this as well. I personally like that but my friends didn't. This is not a film for young children but I would think anyone 10 or older would be fine. Personally I give this a B but I can see where people would rate this one all over the place. This is really one of those that you just have to see for your self.

Friends with Money

Wow not really sure what to say about this one. There is the married couple with the wife that just stops washing her hair because she is really depressed, and her husband who is in some big time denial about being gay. Another couple where the wife is really kind of submissive and lets her husband do all different kinds of things that are kind of degrading to her while he shows he really doesn't care about her or anyone else. And then there is the couple that from the outside look like everything is just perfect but you know there is something wrong, and then the outside friend to them all who is a maid because she couldn't take being a teacher anymore. This film was really very busy but really interesting. Also there is a bit of a surprise ending to it with the single maid. Personally I think I might have gone in expecting too much considering it had Joan Cusack, Frances McDormand, and Jennifer Aniston in it but it was still good enough to watch. I give this film a B.
