Earthlings Check this out. I'd be curious to see what you think about it. I liked it. An attorney, intent on climbing the career ladder toward success, finds an unlikely opponent in a manipulative criminal he is trying to prosecute.
The basic plot to Fracture is Anthony Hopkins' character shoots and kills his wife for having an affair, and it turns out, the cop that shows up for the 911 call, is the guy she was having the affair with (information not revealed until they're in the courtroom because it starts out being played like Hopkins doesn't know who her lover was....but he actually plays them and manipulates them the whole way through, also representing himself in court, (also making him come across as naïve and innocent and unfamiliar, but he is, as always, quite informed). The prosecuting attorney -- who has a near flawless win/conviction rate-- is played by Ryan Gosling and the cop/lover is played by Billie Burke). I thought this was well-done. Another movie I liked a lot was Runaway Jury (I realize it had mixed reviews, but I quite enjoyed it). A juror on the inside and a woman on the outside manipulate a court trial involving a major gun manufacturer.

Fracture looks outstanding! Saw Runaway Jury and liked it.
Earlier you spoke of a movie with a couple twists in it. If you like twists in movies you got to check out this movie. Wild Things (1998). Many twists and I thought both Neve Campbell and Denise Richards were great in it. As was the woman who played Denise Richards mom in it. Theresa Russell

Oh yaaass, I totally did see Wild Things a long time ago! Had a similar Bound vibe in a way. Did you ever see The Crush? Alicia Silverstone is one of my own personal crushes, I think she's gorgeous! And I know I mentioned this before, but I'm a fan of Drew Barrymore and loved her in Poison Ivy:

Something we don't agree on Lilith. I never cared for Drew Barrymore or Alicia Silverstone. I liked Poison Ivy II because one of my favorites was the star in it. Alyssa Milano.

I really, really liked Alyssa Milano in Charmed. I think her character was one of the best, followed very, very closely by Holly Marie Combs. I never liked Shannen Doherty in anything I've ever seen her in. I just got this nasty vibe from her and she just never did anything for me. As far as Alyssa as Phoebe, I liked the dynamics along with the relationship with Cole. I loved the twists in how their relationship changed and morphed, and we had a bit of a "Dark Willow" moment there, and what started out as deception turned into real caring. I just never understood how three young women could afford and manage that ginormous house (I believe it was left to them by their parents, yes? But still there's taxes etc.) and work their day jobs and manage the P3 nightclub and everything that goes into it. (Yes, I'm one of those who picks things apart sometimes. And sometimes I don't! Like the movie Basic Instinct which I fell for hook, line and sinker and fell in love with Sharon Stone -- and everything she's ever in, no matter what, but especially loved her in this! One of my top favourite movies of all time). On an off-note, I specifically did NOT like Poison Ivy II precisely because I couldn't buy into it with Milano in the role. Then the Earth stood still for me when Rose McGowan stepped in. WOW! She totally floated my boat. And yes, Alyssa Milano is very cute:
