Permanent Midnight (1998, R)
I wish I had seen this before Ben Stiller was sort of typecast in his comedy roles. But he actually did a really good job of making me forget that. There are all sorts of interesting facts about this movie. It's a harsh true story, and very well done. I want to watch it again. |

The Perfect Storm (2000, PG-13)
Intense and very sad. Based on a true story. I really like Diane Lane, but she just didn't suit the role. I just can't picture her with Mark Wahlberg. And at times it was hard to follow exactly what was going on. But overall, it was a great movie. |

Disturbing, but good acting by Hilary Swank. |

North Country (2005, R)
Very emotional. You could feel the frustration she was going through. If you like Erin Brokovich, you might like this. |
