Soso List

This group of films have been on my list for about two months and like the Dog List, didn't' quite deserve a whole review of their own.

Bad Girls - Lady focussed western with some good people, but the story falls flat. Madeleine Stowe, Mary Stuart Masterson, Andie MacDowell and Drew Barrymore all do a enough of a job to bring it up past Dog status. Library: Coquille, Dora, Myrtle Point and North Bend. (there is a British girls in prison tv series by the same name. I hear it's good but haven't seen it)

Ask the Dust - An ambitious Italian-American writer moves to a Los Angeles flop hotel and begins to write stories of his experiences. A nice "behind the scenes hah" shot of Colin Farrell and lots of sexy images of Salma Hayek can't quite save the erratic plot. Library: Bandon

Barefoot Contessa - I feel it's a tad wrong to place this down in my rating. After all, it's Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner. I just don't get why we should care about this woman. It seemed so much like Cindarella becomes a whore. Harsh, I know, but there it is. Library: Bandon and North Bend (VHS & DVD)

Autumn in New York - Downer RomCom about womanizer Richard Gere and free-spirit Winona Ryder. I just didn't believe this creep of a guy could "change." Library: Bandon

Bowery at Midnight - It's neat to see Bela Lugosi in something besides vampire thrillers, but the plot, bad acting and dreary looks just detract from really enjoying him. You thought CSI was gory and violent! Library: Bandon
