Powder Blue, 2009

This movie is so bad it's kind of amazing. You've got the usual oh-so-indie "everyone is connected" plot. You've got Kris Kristofferson being his usual self. You've got Ray Liotta frowning around the strip club rather than confronting the person who is super-secretly connected to him (it's so un-obvious, I wouldn't want to spoil it for you). You've got Lisa Kudrow! You've got freaky Patrick Swayze in a wig and eyeliner (no he's not reprising his "To Wong Foo" role - in this movie his character's name is Velvet Larry). And speaking of characters' names, one of the main characters is named, I kid you not, QWERTY DOOLITTLE. And this movie is NOT supposed to be a comedy! But the most hilarious thing of all is Jessica Biel's performance. I don't know if her agent talked her into this or if she chose this role herself, but the idea that this movie would be anything other than Direct-to-DVD is ridiculous. I think everyone involved with this movie, including writer/producer/director Timothy Linh Bui (who, surprisingly, isn't a first-timer), needs to seriously reconsider some of the choices they've made in life.
