One of the greatest indie films ever gave us one of the greatest dance scenes ever. Tarantino directed Uma Thurman and John Travolta in a little dance to Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell" and their careers skyrocketed.

Film: PAYCHECK
Director: John Woo
Actors: Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman, Aaron Eckhart, Paul Giamatti, Michael C. Hall, Kathryn Morris, Ivana Milicevic, Joe Morton, Colm Feore
Year: 2003


While this isn't the worst film ever made, it wasn't keeping my interest. This can be added to the string of bad films Ben Affleck was doing in the early 2000s (i.e. "Reindeer Games"). It was a nice try by action director John Woo, but the story wasn't up-to-par.

"I do believe Marsellus Wallace, my husband... your boss, told you to take me out and do whatever I wanted. Now, I wanna dance. I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good."

Film: BE COOL
Director: F. Gary Gray
Actors: John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Vince Vaughn, Harvey Keitel, Danny DeVito, Christina Milian, Andre Benjamin, Dwayne Johnson, Cedric the Entertainer, Steven Tyler, James Woods, Debi Mazar
Year: 2005

Synopsis: Movie producer (and former gangster) Chili Palmer looks to make a move into the music business by signing a new hot singer.



Despite the fact that it's the sequel to 1995's blockbuster "Get Shorty" with an all-star cast to boot, "Be Cool" is a real stinker. The presence of John Travolta and Uma Thurman (trying desperately to relive their "Pulp Fiction" glory) can't save this turkey (gobble, gobble). The supporting cast is bad (mostly Christina Milian, The Rock, and Andre 3000), the ads are boring (a poster of Andre entitled "Be Bad", Milian with "Be Famous", The Rock with "Be Yourself" and of course Travolta with "Be Cool". CORNY!!), and more importantly, the story sucks. Take a pass on this and netflix "Get Shorty" instead.
