Rare Birds (2001)
Molly Parker and William Hurt cook!
If you are a William Hurt fan this movie is for you. Watching him opposite Molly Parker is so funny. She is a young confident open minded redhead who is so charming and irresistible. To watch him fall in love with the only girl within 50km is very entertaining. In fact she works very close to him in his secluded gourmet restaurant somewhere on the coast of Nova Scotia. If you are a Molly Parker fan this movie is for you. She is at her natural best in this one. She will brisk by after immodestly changing her top in front of him. You can practically smell her. While setting the tables she is inspired into a passionate dance with no one around... seeing these two actors fall in love is the best part of this movie. The quirky plot with his eccentric buddy is kind of fun too. It's mostly about how great William Hurt is as a comedy actor and this was a very sweet vehicle for him. I already forget how it ends but that part is not important...just keep your eyes on Hurt performance...he's one of the best! And how could you not fall in love with her in this one?

Uncle Klaus' Amazing Travel Slideshowwith bonus bikini model included
Who wouldn't want to travel to some of the most beautiful places on the planet and bring along a blonde European bikini model to add a little interest to the frame. You have to give the filmmakers a lot of credit for getting those shots. No easy task. Especially when you've got a model to consider. Sunburn, sprained ankles, exhaustion.... Think of your Uncle Klaus who just came back from his worldwide photo expedition. "Oh yes well this is Inger we met in Austria, she's a real trooper" Who would of thought Uncle Klaus was so naughty? You can't help but think of the Squatsi movies even though the comparison ends at the slideshow technique. You know the routine. Time lapse landscapes new age soundtrack.(I think Inger lent her CDs to uncle Klaus for the background music.) Bringing Inger along was probably a good idea. Otherwise you might get a little bored with Uncle Klaus' impeccable framing and choices of location, as gorgeous as it all is. I also think that Uncle Klaus had a little too much fun with the suntan oil.
