Grand Canyon
(1991)

An ingenious combination of many talents
It is wonderful how the distinct styles and presence of the actors in this film play together so well. I could not imagine many of these actors in the same movie, but it is ingenious how their roles interact so carefully to avoid clashes on screen. Each character has their own storyline which naturally plays together with the others.

Some of the morals suggested by this story are made too obvious at times, but it has a strong message and is delivered in a very effective manner. Definitely see this movie!

Trojan War
(1997)

Starts off perfect - then steadily slides downhill
Since she plays my favorite character in "Party of Five", I rented this movie to see Jennifer Love Hewitt in another role that I thought might be similar to her role of Sarah. However, the plot of this movie does not center around the character Leah, but Will Friedle's character named Brad.

The movie begins with some great work by Jennifer but then she really isn't seen again until the end of the movie. Those first few scenes are wonderful as they develop the character of Leah, but from that point she plays a small as the focus swings to Brad's adventures.

It is a good story and is definitely entertaining, but don't expect to get too familiar the character Leah!
