Shallow Grave – Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later)
Three roommates find a suitcase of cash, lots of cash, when their brand new border dies of a drug overdose. What to do? What to do? Why chop up the body, bury it, and keep the money, of course. Temptation and greed have a price, and it’s always a high one to pay, far too high. No exception here. Great character study. (Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston, Kerry Fox)

1st Directorial Effort - Christopher Guest
The Big Picture – Christopher Guest (Waiting For Guffman, Best In Show)
A hilarious jab at Hollywood about a competition-winning film school graduate navigating the business side of the “creative industry”: commercial-minded studio executives, a feeble-looking but terrifying agent supposedly on his side, and his quickly growing ego. Fun performances, especially Martin Short’s turn. (Kevin Bacon, Michael McKean. J.T. Walsh, Teri Hatcher, and Jennifer Jason Leigh)
