I Heart Huckabees (2004)

A funny, smart and just lovely comedy from David O. Russell about a husband-and-wife team playing detective, but not in the traditional sense. Instead, the happy duo helps others solve their existential issues, the kind that keep you up at night, wondering what it all means.

Starring Jason Schwartzman, Jude Law, Naomi Watts, Isabelle Huppertand, Dustin Hoffman, Mark Wahlberg, Lily Tomlin and Jonah Hill. While the performances by Schwartzman, Law and Wahlberg (sounds like a law firm) were wonderful and engaging, the real star of this movie is the writing. It’s very thoughtful without being heavy-handed. And it’s funny!

Closer (2004)

The relationships of two couples become complicated and deceitful when the man from one couple meets the woman of the other.

This movie has a fantastic cast - Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, Jude Law and Clive Owen, who all did a great job. “Closer” is intelligent, thought provoking and rawly realistic. It’s beautiful, terrible, and real. Sadly, in a world where we’re used to hearing stories in the simplest and most easy to swallow terms, I doubt that the average lover of romantic comedies and action flicks will like it. This is a story about the perpetual struggles found in human relationships.

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

Crying Men

Taylor-Wood explains: “Some of the men cried before I even finished loading the camera, but others found it really difficult. People can decide for themselves which they think are the authentic tears and which they think are fake. It’s about the idea of taking these big, masculine men and showing a different side”
