Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

1997 film directed by Clint Eastwood stars Kevin Spacey and John Cusack.

Reporter (Cusack) covering Christmas party by Savannah society host Spacey finds that his mild human interest story becomes much more interesting when there is a murder that night and Spacey is the suspect.

Good feel for the Southern atmosphere and some interesting elements of homosexual intrigues, voodoo, and more.

Somewhat long and rambles some, but different and interesting. Good cast is admirable.

High Fidelity

Stepen Frears film made in 2000 adapted brom Nick Hornby's book stars John Cusack, Tim Robbins, Jack Black.

Record store owner Cusack is a compulsive list maker and record snob who looks back over his romantic break-ups. Film is tender and sad in parts but overall very funny. Cusack is great as always, Tim Robbins makes the most out of a very small role...but Jack Black steals a number of scenes. Watch for his new band's debut...surprisingly good and a riot in context of the film.

The Grifters

1990 film directed by Stephen Frears stars John Cusack, Annette Bening, and Angelica Houston as con artists who try to scam everyone including each other.

Cusack is a small time but successful hustler who takes up with Annette Bening (at her sexiest) just as his mother (Houston - very sexy herself) comes back into his life. All are on the take and on the make.

Gritty story doesn't pull any punches and gives us a view of another strata of society where cash is king and all that matters.
