I missed seeing Phone Booth in the theater when it came out. I took a chance in buying it on DVD. I was very pleasantly surprised. In no time I was thoroughly engrossed. Colin Farrell excelled in this as he did in The Recruit, and Forest Whitaker portrayed a cop who had the good sense to be cool and not jump the gun. The end took me by surprise.
Maxie is one of my favorites. What is especially excellent is Glenn Close's ability to change between Jan and Maxie, by only a subtle change in expression. She was remarkable. Ruth Gordon too, made the movie memorable . As her last picture, it was a fitting tribute to a great actress. The entire movie couldn't be better. I am giving it a 10.
In the early '80s, I recorded Honky Tonk Freeway from the cable. Since then I have waited, hoping it would be on DVD. Yesterday I found it. It is one of the best humorous character studies I ever saw. The Old Fashioned episode is priceless. At this time (4/28/02) only two have reviewed it. One hated it, the other loved it. If you have a DVD player, either rent it, or buy it as I did.
