- The Grifters
Director Stephen Frears' tense adaptation of Jim Thompson's novel The Grifters was one of a number of revival film noirs in the first half of the '90s. Updating the setting to contemporary Los Angeles, the film follows a trio of con artists who are intent on out-foxing each other. Roy Dillon (John Cusack) is a simple, two-bit con, whose life is thrown into turmoil when his estranged mother Lilly (Anjelica Huston) returns home in an attempt to evade the law. Lilly doesn't warm to Roy's girlfriend Myra Langtry (Annette Bening), who is too similar to herself. Soon, the two women are competing for Roy in a battle that is more of a power struggle than a pursuit of affection, and the battle quickly turns dangerous. Huston was nominated for an Academy Award for her work. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

On U2: Rattle and Hum...hollybaby21 said "I totally agree. Have you seen the episode in south park, where Bono is the the worlds biggest shit, literally? If not you should check it out it's hilarious. I love how he asks all us working class people to give our money, who struggle to get by, yet you never hear how much cash he gives. He's a total ass wipe."

On U2: Rattle and Hum...guitar.dude said "LOL@"politically involved quartet!" Yeah, wasting $40 million on a stage while every other African is dying is SO politically active. Bono is a hypocrite, a dickhead, an illiterate, stupid bully and a shameless fat lie. The other three are worthless as musicians and as human beings but at least they don't pretend to care about anyone or anything but money."
