Finding Forester (2000)

My friend Ryan told me to rent this time after time. After reading the back of the box I thought this would be another version of "Dangerous Minds" where the dedicated teacher finds a way to school inner city underprivileged youth. I couldn't have been more wrong.

Sean Connery plays the eccentric old guy while Rob Brown hits a home run on his first performance ever. By the end of the film I was wondering, who really helped who? Find yourself a copy of this great film.

Man Bites Dog (1992)

Due to a screwup on my part this is only going to be a 3/4 review. I made a copy of the DVD to watch later but didn't include a copy of the English subtitles so either I'll have to rent it again or learn French to finish it.

This is a pretty crazy movie about a serial killer and a film crew that follows him around to document his craft (ie murder). I enjoyed what I saw of this movie but it has been a good six months and I haven't even thought about re-renting it so I figured I'll post now and be done with it.
