Flick of the Day

Film: KISS THE GIRLS

Director: Gary Fleder

Actors: Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, Tony Goldwyn, Alex McArthur, Brian Cox, Roma Maffia, Jeremy Piven

Year: 1997

Synopsis: A doctor escapes being held captive by a serial killer.

A word of advice if you're a female... don't watch this alone at night. It's one of the creepiest films to come out of the 90s. A woman (Judd) is kidnapped from her bed and held captive for several days. She manages (barely) to escape and helps a detective find the mad man. Judd and Freeman are great (as always) and you'll be guessing until the very end.

Film: THE PELICAN BRIEF

Director: Alan J. Pakula

Actors: Denzel Washington, Julia Roberts, Sam Shepard, John Heard, Stanley Tucci, Tony Goldwyn, John Lithgow, Hume Cronyn

Year: 1993

Synopsis: A young law student uncovers a government conspiracy and asks a reporter to help her expose it.

One of the best John Grisham novels and subsequent films. Julia Roberts plays Darby Shaw, a student who stumbles upon a government cover-up. Her professor is murdered and her life is threatened and so she goes into hiding. She contacts Denzel Washington, a famous reporter and together they go on a mission to expose the corporation involved. Roberts, who was early in her career at the time, shines and really proved that she could do all kinds of roles. Denzel, as always, was spectacular and worked well off of Roberts (the two have been friends ever since).
