Highway (2002)
just a fun time
This is a well-acted and perfectly cast movie about a bunch of people on the outskirts of life whose mistakes carry them in the same direction: Seattle. You may not feel deeply enlightened when it's over, but you will have a bunch of laughs on the way. I don't know what happened to this film... it just slipped through the cracks and so everyone passes it off as uninteresting, but I rather thought it was one of those overlooked jewels you are glad to have discovered. The characters are eminently likable and have those appropriate, somewhat subdued emotional journeys that give the film it's real direction. Without a doubt worth the rent.
The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
Totally re-watchable, wonderfully eerie
This is a seriously underrated film. It gets you over and over not by what it throws at you (like many Hollywood scream-out-loud slasher flicks or what-have-you) but by a creation of MOOD.
The soundtrack is eerie, the lighting is always dim and gray, and we hear a lot of stories but we don't see very much for ourselves. We aren't sure what happened or why, so we leave the film with that same unsettled feeling. In that way we are also invited to watch it again to try to make more sense out of it.
This is a totally successful supernatural thriller that deserves to be watched and watched again.
