A decent movie, but Meg Ryan as a tough chick? She did a fine enough acting job, but I couldn’t help think… she’s so darn cute. I suppose she was trying to shed her image, but that’s impossible… just look at her. She doesn’t have to even open her mouth to make men behave like little kids. I thought the alcoholic subplot was totally unnecessary. Otherwise, it was a decent movie.

Glory
It’s hard to take a “story within a story” and make it a compelling drama. Glory did a decent job though. The big story was the Civil War, the story within was about the first all-black regiment to kick butt. Or… get their butt kicked… That raises an interesting question, are they “heroes” because they were slaughtered? or are they just poor discarded souls?
