AWESOME!!
BLOW is one of those fantastic movies that comes along every once in a long while. BLOW "blew" me away when I saw it in theaters months ago. Ted Demme directs the movie fantastically and the performances are top-notch. Everyone is used to seeing Penelope Cruz in romance movies (i.e. All the Pretty Horses and Captain Corelli's Mandolin), but BLOW allows Cruz to really shine. Even though at times, the audience is sure to dispise her character, that's how one knows a good performance when they've seen one. In my opinion, Johnny Depp gives one of the best performances of his career in this movie. Ray Liotta is also good as Depp's open-minded and extremely forgiving father. Paul Reubens is hilarious and also turns in a note-worthy performance. Blow is a great movie, the DVD has fantastic extras, and if you like music.....check out the soundtrack to BLOW. It rocks!!
