Being John Malkovich (1999)

May 13

Absurd and bizarre. Ridiculous and fantastic. Hilarious and outrageous. Twisted and original. Cameron Diaz! I kept thinking that just can not be her. That has to be some other actress that looks like her at certain angles. Then the ending credits roll and there it is. Catherine Keener was watchable for once. Though her appeal did wear off throughout the movie. John Cusack and John Malkovich were brilliant throughout. All the "real life" celebrity appearances were hilarious. Another reason why the '90's and 1999 in particular is(are) the greatest year(s) for film. Movies like this are all too rare, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. You see the world through John Malkovich's eyes. Then after about 15 minutes, you're spit out into a ditch on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike!
