Where the Truth Lies (2005)
Terrible, terrible movie
In a word, awful. This is a movie that gets too caught up in being "convoluted" and "deep" that it loses sight of any actual plot. It doesn't have an ounce of subtlety to it - it bludgeons the viewer over the head with any plot point that is even remotely important by repeating it at least twice - and what little plot it has is overwhelmed by its awfulness. The dialogue is terrible, with a few exceptions, and Alison Lohman's acting leaves much to be desired. Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth do the best they can with what they have, and Firth actually has one or two very good moments, but on the whole this movie is best left alone. I would only recommend it as a novelty, because it takes a special effort for a film to be this spectacularly bad.
Margaret Cho: Notorious C.H.O. (2002)
Hilarious!
I was lucky enough to see this performance at the Paramount Theater in Seattle while it was being filmed, and when I came out my stomach muscles were sore from laughing. Not something for small children to see - many of the jokes are very explicit - but the whole show is a riot. Definitely recommended for Cho fans.
