Limbo
Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, David Strathairn
Sony Pictures, 2000
More great storytelling by John Sayles
+ Well-acted character driven drama (loved the ending)
Sayles scores again with this substantial story about a woman who wanders from one man to another with her troubled daughter in tow, eventually ending up in Alaska among some questionable denizens.

With Friends Like These
Adam Arkin, David Strathairn
New Line Home Video, 2001
Brilliant comedic insight into the mob and Hollywood
+ With Friends Like These
How far will friends go to get that "big break" in Hollywood? If you're a wanna-be Sopranos star, the news of Martin Scorcese casting for the leads in an Al Capone film is too good to be true. This amusing film skillfully manuevers the lies and deception that four friends pull on each other as ...

Probably Cruise's best performance, better than in "Color ...

I borrowed this movie along with four or five others from the local library and I kept putting it off and eventually considered simply returning it without even watching it, thinking that it looked kind of sappy and would be a bore to watch.
