New guy.
Secretary
(2002) -- Great roles for sexy Maggie Gyllenhaal and Sexy James Spader. And it
is indeed a sexy movie, and more. It maintains a perfect tone for at least 90%
of the movie (sometimes going too far to the usual Hollywood side) and shows
that any sort of relationship is cool as long as both folks dig it.
Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006) -- Diane Arbus's real
life and work was tons more interesting than this "imaginary portrait," making
this basically a waste of a subject. I'm fine with fictionalizations of
people's lives, but nothing interesting about her life was brought in and we
learn nothing about her and how these photographs came to be. Instead, we
get a worse-than-soap-opera beauty and the beast story that just gets more and
more ridiculous as it goes, and not in a good or knowing way, just in a dumb
way.
