I missed out on what I think was the part of the movie that caught my attention in the first place, the first 15 minutes. I don't remember what happened with it because I haven't seen it in like forever. But I remembered that I really liked the film so I watched the rest of it. I think it had some clever dialogue in it. I think that Tony Goldwyn did excellent as Ted, especially when the drugs that George gives him take effect!
I love the song "I don't want to live without you" too. I have to say that I am not a big Christian Slater fan but he was kind of sexy in this one. I think that some guys that can pull off being sexy is all about the attitude. He definately had the attitude in this one!

Good film, liked Slater's direct-to-camera asides and the comedic bleeps when Ted loses his cool.
Christian Slater (or mini-Jack Nicholson) should've been a much bigger star what with 'Pump Up The Volume', 'Robin Hood: Prince Of Theives', this and the modern classic that is 'True Romance'. Its bizzare that less than a decade ago he was top billing with John Travolta in 'Broken Arrow' and today he's filming 'Hollow Man 2', perhaps his boozing & fighting got him labelled a risk, either way, Slater's a good actor and I hope he makes a comeback.

Yeah Mr. Slater has had some problems lately, maybe he will come out of it. Did anyone catch him in that movie with Cameron Diaz and Daniel Stern about the bachelor party where the hooker gets killed. I am drawing a major blank of the name of it......

'Very Bad Things', truly sinister picture with tonnes of dark humour. Slater was excellent as the bonkers real estate agent and chief conspirator in the murders/cover-ups that spiralled out of control. And even though Cameron Diaz played the superbitch to perfection, you do feel kinda sorry for her at the end.
The movie was directed by Peter Berg, who was the main charcter in Wes Craven's 80's cult classic 'Shocker'.

Yes that is it! And I did remember that Peter Berg directed it.

True True! I finally got to see the first 15 minutes of it tonight. I really didnt' miss much. Maya says she is pregnant and his brother gets killed. Although I didn't know that he was only supposed to be 21 years old.
