Breathless (Blu-ray + DVD)

Lucy and Ethel with cigarettes and whiskey
Excellent movie; it's funny and entertaining- Val Kilmer and Ray Liotta are good in the film and are a couple of names to draw people in (though Kilmer is in it very little- even though the plot revolves around him figuratively and literally). But the stars of the movie are definitely Kelli Giddish and Gina Gershon, the actresses played well off each other and they reminded me of "I Love Lucy" episodes with their back and forth bickering and scheming about the mess they are in.

I would recommend this movie for purchase; it's a movie that even though you know what's going to happen after watching it once, it's still entertaining to watch.

Blood , Guts, and TPQs
Gina Gershon(Lorna) and Kelli Giddish(Tiny) have great chemistry as their characters' predicament goes from bad to bloody. The whole movie takes place in a trailer out in the middle of NoWhere, Texas . The plot contains some surprises and some not-so-surprising twists and turns. The dialogue is funny as the girls try to deal with their seemingly hopeless situation. It's a fun movie to watch but not for the squeamish.

DOES BLOOD MAKE ME LOOK FAT?
I enjoyed the opening credits with bright use of the color red and showing the painted hands of a women preparing dinner. Gina Gershon stars as Lorna in this dark comedy that takes place in Texas in 1981. Dale (Val Kilmer) her husband of 17 years, is laid out on the floor as Gina's girlfriend Tiny (Kelli Giddish looking like a young Jane Curtin) walks in.

As things go on Val Kilmer, who is now tied up in a chair and has confessed to a bank robbery, is accidentally killed. The women suppose the money is hidden somewhere in the trailer. They decide to look for the loot and dispose of the body using household appliances. As the story goes on, the plot takes a number of twists, so much so that the final twist becomes easy to figure out.

This is a Coen style comedy, but falls short of the masters. I enjoyed this quirky film in spite of some of the predictability. Several laugh out loud moments as Gina creates a memorable character.
