A Civil Action (1998)
The movie almost ruined the book for me

After reading Johnathan Harr's excellent docu-novel "A Civil Action" I was looking forward to seeing the film version. I think I was able to watch about 45 minutes of it before walking out of the theatre. The pace is slow, Travolta is WRONG for the part, and too many things were left out. The only part of the 45 minutes I DID enjoy was Robert Duvall as Facher. If you have read the book, don't see the movie!

Bottle Rocket (1993)
One of the funniest, clever movies I have ever seen...

I happened to see this film on impulse, and now I own it and have seen it many times over. The humor is subtle and intelligent and the performances are very genuine. If you have not seen this film, you are missing out on a great one. Pay attention to the dialogue though, or you might miss some of the laughs.
