Scary and frustrating
24 August 2000
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILER ALERT For the most part, I was genuinely frightened. But in the very beginning, I was frustrated that she (Michelle Pfeiffer) didn't call the police if she suspected her next door neighbor of killing his wife. Then when she told her husband (H.Ford) of her suspicions he didn't suggest calling the police either. Now there's cause to be suspicious of H. Ford. So had I been in Michelle's shoes, I would have called the police on both counts and both husbands. But then you don't have a movie. Who said movies had to be plausible. They only have to be entertaining and how did H.Ford get into the back of her car anyway? Oh well, it worked cinematically. I miss Mr. Hitchcock. He would have figured this all out

Cosi (1996)
10/10
Inspired
24 August 2000
Stick with this movie and you'll be able to see something of yourself in these characters. We as a society expect very little from our mentally disabled population. Yet here was a movie that celebrated their dedication to a project, something bigger than themselves. I know how capable this population is because my friend is the musical director of a developmentally delayed rock 'n roll band, The Heart and Soul Band, and let me tell you, I have learned much more from them than they have from me. They are love personified and I strongly recommend getting to know yourself through this population. In this movie, Lewis did. He ultimately was inspired by their spirit, their vision, their heart, and their soul. I found this movie to be inspired and filled with valuable insights and lessons while keeping the characters very real
