Affairs of State

I really enjoyed this: Yes, it was a little sexy/trashy, but it also has something interesting to say about whats going on in Washington these days (without beating you over the head). The performances were great - Thora's always awesome, but MImi Rogers, Adrian Grenier, and the newcomer playing the lead give really great, unexpected performances. Watch it! WIll it change the world? No, but you'll hav e fun if you go into it with the right mindset. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

It’s very brown and sometimes so high that the pile extends above the waterline — like this movie. Which also stinks. The only proper thing to do is flush it to Netflix.

Where do I begin? This stinker is bad from start to finish. The dialogue is contrived, the story is banal, and the direction simply flat. The characters are poorly developed and the performances are shockingly horrible. I ended up turning this rubbish off a little over an hour in to it as I simply couldn't take it anymore. The only actor I recognized in this was Adrian Grenier in a very small part. You don't see much of him in films or TV anymore so perhaps he was desperate and needed cash to be in this. I would have rather watched the second hand of a clock move than this crud. This has to rank as one of the worst films ever. Don't waste your time.
