What Took Me So Long: I've heard Iris. What do I need the rest of the movie for?
Why I Saw It: (Club 50) Did I mention Iris? ...I did. Oh. It has Andre Braugher. I like him...uh, pass.
Why I Wish I Hadn't: This was a sleepy movie. I know it's popular as a romance, but I think it wanted to be an Oscar player in its original conception rather than a muted Ghost. Nic Cage is catatonic from beginning to end. Meg Ryan shifts between depressed and frantic until she dies, which is played as an oddly quiet scene. This is yet another reminder why it's best if Hollywood just leaves the afterlife alone.
Verdict (?): Strongly Don't Recommend
