Movie Review: Very good till it turns silly at the end
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie sets exactly the right menacing tone for a story about a nice, breezy, get-up-and-go girl who discovers she's just invited the ultimate female headcase to be her roommate. It keeps your attention well, throws in some good sinister details, and then somehow loses its grip in the last half-hour. Also, I am not quite sure that the character of Fonda's boyfriend works - he is meant to have reformed himself and to have given up womanizing, but he actually looks like a creep throughout. As a result, we think Fonda herself must be a bit wet. Still, worth watching.Movie Review: Beware of strangers
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, a suspenseful movie despite some slasher scenes towards the end. I wasn't familiar with Fonda & Leight when I first saw this so the actresses did not have any influence on my rating of the movie. Another reviewer once mentioned that you would either treat this movie as a suspense centering on a girl's psychological problem or a typical slasher film. After having seen it for myself, its fair to say that its overall delivery is satisfactory & deserves a better opinion.Movie Review: Three's Company revisited!
Summary: 4 Stars
It's amazing and outrageous to watch Jennifer Jason Lee simply steal not a scene or two, but a complete film. The woman's a force to be reckoned with, her performance unequalled by many. This film has her working like a chameleon, blending in with her surroundings, yet slowly begins to show her true colors of mental disturbance and derangement. Intense, intelligent & suspenseful.
