A sequel to the 2007 Anna Faris stoner comedy SMILEY FACE. Really, any good Anna Faris vehicle would do.

Despite its drug underworld setting, DRIFTING lacks the intoxicating luridness of Browning's best work. For most of the running time it's a run of the mill melodrama. Only in the homestretch, when everything's aflame and Dean proves herself handy with a rifle, does it feel like something special.

Helen Gahagan Douglas in SHE (1935), a performance that inspired the villainess in SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS (1937)
HGD was BOTD in 1900. A passionate advocate for migrant workers, she ran against Richard Nixon for senator in 1950 but lost after he accused her of being a communist.

Hardboiled Japanese heist flick in which a newly released convict is recruited by the mob to steal the takings from a racetrack. Naturally, everything goes to shit. Recommended for fans of Kubrick's THE KILLING.

A touching portrait of a dying small-town hairdresser that brings to mind Chaplin in its deft mix of comedy and pathos. Kier is truly remarkable in the lead role, hilarious and more flamboyant than a 30-foot Christmas tree without ever hiding the pain, physical and emotional, his character is in.
