Movie Review #1: Melvin yaps on and on and on... And its great. 

Ok, here's my first real blog post and hopefully the first in a series of movie reviews (yeah netflix!):
Melvin Goes to Dinner
One of the top three movies I have seen in a long time (though, just like there are 25 Top 10 law schools, this is probably the 10th movie i've given that honor to). The movie focuses on four friends/strangers who meet for dinner as the script jumps between time frames just enough to make you think "oh, that explains it" but not so much that its a gimmick (or a great plot device, i.e. Memento- if you haven't seen it, see it.).

Being someone who gets an absolute adrenaline rush from an evening of wine, food, and conversation that goes on long past anyone would anticipate, Melvin does a great job embodying that feeling on the screen with good dialogue and actors that react reaslistically to each other.

And don't return the dvd w/o watching the Frank's Film Festival segment!
