Note de Mister13
I have been following Mark Romanek's career since he directed Lenny Kravitz's "Are you Gonna Go My Way" video, and David Bowie's "Jump They Said" and "Black Tie White Noise" videos (No I am not forgetting the incredible NIN "Closer" video).
His style of direction and creating basically worlds have done much to force music videos and movies to do what Studio execs do not want to do...evolve.
I have waited a long time for a visually stunning movie to come from Romanek and One Hour Photo delivers, making the normal seem creepy, and the every day seem dreamlike almost whimsical. I would have to agree that it is very Kubrikian but only merely because it is different than what we are used to seeing.
The story in itself is about a loner, who wishes to be a part of a family that frequents the photo both where he works. His story is a sad one but also in a way it seems like he is better off than he thinks he is in a weird way.
The story is tight, shocking, and creepy in it's sterile normalness. I highly recommend it and can only be disgusted by the fact that it received an R rating (aka kiss of death) for what I assumed is the showing of the nude male and female body.
I think if more films that looked this beautiful and also made you think (and received a fair rating PG-13) instead of paper thin shlock like Fast and the Furious being hailed as 'the best movie ever', Movies would actually be held up to the standard that One Hour Photo so easily reached.

The Colin Quinn show provided a glimpse into what is wrong with political correctness, making fun of other people is funny.
Now before we all start getting up in arms about how horrible racism is, let me explain, the show generally opened with Colin's monologue talking about topical issues of the day.
Following that came the most hilarious round table discussion. Several comedians of different ethnicities would sit around on a stoop like set and would talk about different topics as Colin would call them out, moderate, and add his own spin.
Sadly this type of show would probably be more welcomed in the 1970's than the new millennium.
After the 1st episode I knew that NBC was not going to keep it on the air, it was insulting, thought inspiring and hilariously funny, and quite honestly I think if more shows had the same subject manner dealt with honesty and humor, I do not think race relations would be so turbulent as they are today.
After 3 very fresh and inventive episodes it was sadly canceled.

Although this movie has a talented comedic cast I found it to be only mildly funny. But do not let this stop you from enjoying this different approach to a romantic comedy that thankfully won't qualify it as a 'chick flick'. Shandling and cast were well suited for their characters and each brought a very special aspect to each to the table. I really can not give a good reason as to why I would enjoy this comedy that I did not find particularly funny, except maybe the endearing characters and the romantic comedy that is more male oriented. Worth watching, but do not expect belly laughs.
