Lies & Illusions
Ok, this is the strangest movie that you’ll ever see.
Our hero (Christian Slater) is a recently famous self-help book writer, who’s fallen in love with a gorgeous blonde he doesn’t really know too well – although he doesn’t know that. After announcing his engagement at a public event, the pair are mugged outside and the girlfriend is kidnapped/killed, we don’t know what’s going on.
Christian is told by her lawyer that after a year has passed, he will inherit the dead girlfriend’s stuff, so we then see him after a year. After the year, he finally takes his friend’s advice and starts dating again.
This movie is way too obvious. We know that the new girlfriend is a bad guy who is probably just after the diamond’s the dead girlfriend has stolen from Cuba Gooding Jr. – we found that out in the lawyer’s office once our hero left and the bad guys came in to cut off the lawyer’s finger in a paper shredder.
It’s also not totally unexpected that SPOILER ALERT: the girlfriend is not really dead and comes back to save Christian from the bad guys and collect and share the diamonds with him.
The ending was really dippy. I wouldn’t bother even renting this if I were you. You hope that it’s going to turn into something and it doesn’t.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
As soon as I see Christian Slater and Cuba Gooding Jr in any movies released lately. I try to avoid them!! I think their best days have passed them by.
