11:14

I'd never heard about this movie, but David and Xiaofan had it saved on Tivo so we all watched it. It turned out to be a terrific little directorial debut by Greg Marcks, with an interesting cast including Hilary Swank, Barbara Hershey, a hefty Patrick Swayze, and Rachael Leigh Cook. The movie is about a series of interconnected events happening around 11:14pm (hence the title), and as such bears a similarity to movies like Pulp Fiction and Crash. Unfortunately, unlike those two, there is no deeper meaning connecting the plot lines. They're all interconnected, but that's it. Still, this is an interesting, well-made movie. And it's short - about 90 minutes. It's nice to see a new director keep the movie short. I mean, who's going to take a chance on a 3 hour megalith by an unknown? At least keep it short so that if we don't like it we haven't lost much. Okay let me get down from my soapbox...
