In & Out (1997)

An American romantic comedy directed by Frank Oz, starring Kevin Kline, Joan Cusack, Matt Dillon, Debbie Reynolds and Wilford Brimley.
An English teacher's former student announces that the teacher is gay on national TV. The teacher is supposed to be getting married that week. News crews show up and cause chaos initially, but one reporter stays for a whole week to cause extra problems.
This was not a good movie. American romantic comedies are generally bad and this is no exception. The trite plot featured poorly cast characters that I just plain didn't like. The production quality was of course impeccable. Everything looked and sounded fine and made sense. However, this too lacked creativity and originality. It looked and sounded just like every other major Hollywood film of the era. Overall, standard issue Hollywood trash. I rate it poor.

Life as a House (2001)

A drama by Irwin Winkler, starring Kevin Kline.
A divorced man who is dying from cancer forces his rebellious son to live with him for the summer and build a house.
Awwwwwww, how touching! It was mushy bullshit through and through. That pretty much explains every aspect of the film. On a side note, the divorced wife wears a shirt with a symbol of Baphomet on it (pentagram point down in a circle of symbols) and the son wears a shirt with a freemasonic iron cross. Yes, even heartstring tuggers like this are full of satanic new world order symbolism. I'm rating it bad.
