At Random
Well, I spun myself around the video store, closed my eyes and chose "At Random"! The concept of this column is that I march right into the video store, close my eyes and grab something random from the nearest shelf (not a new release). People in my neighborhood video store are starting to wonder what the deal is with me.
Being John Malkovich (1999)
... Now, I never really liked John Malkovich before. In fact, when I blindly selected "Being John Malkovich" I kept thinking, couldn't it have been "Being Vic Tayback"? He was so good in Alice. It's not that I hate Malkovich, I just don't want to see him on screen...

I vaguely remembered Mel Brooks on "Carson" plugging the film, and in my mind, thought it was a funny Mel Brooks Masterpiece: his timeless ode to Hitchcock. Well, time is a cruel thing...
The Myth of Fingerprints (1997)
... Michael Vartan brings along his girlfriend. Vartan too is a product of his upbringing and is having difficulties with commitment, and saying "I love you". Which is something I could never understand. Maybe it's a product of my upbringing, but I never have trouble saying, "I love you." I could say, "I love you", to a box of Triscuits and mean it...
