Spacey at his best... again

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2000)

I loved The Usual Suspects, but American Beauty is what brought me to the conclusion that Kevin Space is at the top of my list of favorite actors. I saw American Beauty with high expectations. Friends had told me that it was a movie with the potential to change one's life. Did it? Probably not, but I sure felt like it when I walked out of the theater. It's simply an amazing movie.
A couple of weeks ago I saw the movie for a second time while it was still in theaters. I enjoyed every minute of it the second time around, but it really didn't hit me until the last 10 minutes of the film. The expression on Spacey's face the last time we seem him alive is priceless.
I can't wait to pick this one up on DVD, I'm sure I'll get my money's worth no matter what the price of entry.
