The Bridge
You like movies about people jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge to their deaths? Well this one is for you. The Bridge (on DVD) is a feature length documentary about folks committing suicide. Interviews with family members of the victims are touching and insightful. The photography is beautiful; you get to see The Golden Gate Bridge shot from many different locations as well as people jumping off of it. I don't mean to sound crass, but let's face it... it's kind of interesting! You also get to meet a survivor, yes, a guy who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and lived to tell about it.

Captivity
There's a horror movie out on DVD called Captivity. It's basically a rip-off of the somewhat decent Saw movies. Don't see it. The main character, who we never really care about, played by the beautiful Elisha Cuthbert (Jack Bauer's Daughter, Girl Next Door) is a fashion model who gets drugged and kidnapped and then placed in... captivity!! She is kinda tortured and she keeps almost escaping, but is then captured and drugged and wakes up in a bed in a dark dungeon over and over and over again, infinity. Then, she meets a guy who happens to be captured too and they become more than friends; that's right, they become lovers. Stuck in a creepy den full of severed body parts and dead people, not to mention it must have really stunk down there, they decide to boink. Tripods Way Down.
The Heartbreak Kid
This movie is funny! Best raunchy comedy I've seen in a long time, since... well since the last Farrelly Brothers film? It will remind you a lot of There's Something About Mary, but that's okay, you won't dwell on that minor issue. The Heartbreak Kid is about a guy, played by Ben Stiller, who finally decides to tie the knot, maybe a bit too soon. He and his wife honeymoon to Mexico where he learns he married the wrong woman. He ends up meeting the right woman and life is good - problem is he is still on his honeymoon. The situation gets sticky, raunchy, and hilarious. Jerry Stiller, Ben's real dad, plays his father in the movie and is responsible for a lot of the raunchiness, quality raunchiness at that. Tripods Up!Darn, I have to go edit some stuff now; after all, I am a news photographer, not a professional movie reviewer. But hey, I'll return soon to submit more hit reviews of my holiday viewing sessions. This is to be continued. Later.
