Match Point.
You may remember it as the movie with Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Or you may have heard that Woody Allen wrote and directed the movie. Don't let this fool you, just because the cast is incredibly attractive and Scarlett Johansson is the most famous actor and Woody Allen has recently been known for directing absolute crap, do not for a minute think that this movie is not going to blow you away.
I can't tell you what it's about. I know that this may not be the best way to sell a movie, but it is necessary. The last thing I want to do is give away the movie, it has a twist to it that really blew me away the first time I saw it. I'm watching it on DVD now and I think I appreciate everything a lot more now that I know where it's all going.
If you really like a great drama and spectacular film making, go rent or buy this movie at your first opportunity. Just don't go reading any reviews that might spoil the plot for you.

Roger Dodger
Right now, as I speak, I am watching about the most terrible movie I've seen in a long, long time. It's called, you guessed it, Roger Dodger. It's about a wannabe player in New York City whose 16-year-old nephew shows up unannounced. The uncle then proceeds to try to teach the kid about how to pick up a woman. Unfortunately, his uncle is a prick and really doesn't know how to pick up a woman.
This had made for some great quotes, including:
"You have to make sex a PRIORITY in your mind"
"you know what made Michael Jordan great? he paced himself, he always had something left for winning time"
"- just because you're not having sex doesn't mean the rest of us are staying at home playing cribbage! ... - what's cribbage?"
"And I don't want to see you talking to any guys, that's a rally killer"
Really, if you can avoid it, don't watch this movie. Find something better to do with your evening, like cribbage.
