The Bag Man

The Bag Man's ending isn't perfect, but it's interesting getting there, and John Cusack and Robert De Niro are always entertaining to watch.

I was pretty much sold on The Bag Man from the trailer. I like John Cusack and Robert De Niro (is there anyone who doesn't like De Niro?), the other characters looked interesting, and of course like the tag line of the movie, you have to wonder what's in the bag.

Better Off Dead

This is a terrible movie to watch if you can't stand surrealism, and if you're looking for surrealism, it probably won't be surreal enough.

Con Air

A movie with Nic Cage, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, and John Cusack is guaranteed to be good. The explosions were a bit much, and the ending went on for way too long. Cage's accent annoyed me for the first and fourth quarters of the movie, but I actually liked it in the middle. I puked about 8 times after I watched this and now I feel absolutely terrible and have a fever of 100.3, but I don't blame the movie.

Cusack is fun, but the surfing thing was really stupid (and not in the short story).
