THE BIG BUS - 8
Silly movie, but a pretty funny parody of disaster films, pre-AIRPLANE!
THE GHOST OF SPOON RIVER - 7.5
A mystery that incorporates elements of "Spoon River Anthology" - nice little indie film that's worth searching for.
SHIRI - 9
TELL ME SOMETHING - 9

Well, it would just be like awarding points to a Sprint commercial or something.

Ok, but 0??? I mean, it seems like anything would arguably earn at least a 1 just for being in focus and remembering to keep all the characters' names straight. Is there truly no redeeming thing about this film whatsoever in your view, Mr. Ware?
By the same token, of course, I have to ask bondo if it's really a 9 - does it really approach, say, Citizen Kane (or whatever other movie one holds in the regard in which Kane usually is, for those of you who think it's overrated)?? I mean, 9 is pretty damn strong...

Thirteen Days Directed by Roger Donaldson, Written by David Self. 9.0/10
This has fast become one of my favorite movies.
Although its about the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the story, direction and performances makes one forget its a docu-drama. It was nice of Kevin Costner to take a non-showy role and let the magnificent character actors (Len Cariou, Bill Smitrovitch, Steven Culp, Bruce Greenwood, Kevin Conway, etc.,) have the spotlight and make this movie shine. One of my favorite movies of the last 5 years.

Just finished watching for the first time:
Frida - hmm... I need more time to digest and appraise it, but... a 7, perhaps?
It feels so unfair of me to assign a numerical value to something that clearly reflected a lot of passion and labor on the part of its creators. I must say, after seeing some relatively lukewarm reviews, my expectations were lowered, so perhaps it's just that. Hayek's definitely good, though, as is Goldenthal. The thing does feel a bit "Hollywoodized," but less than I'd expected.
I wish it had been in Spanish, though!
