I remember that movie well. It was really different, but well done. I always wondered what it was like for John Malkovich to be in a movie that is named after him? Happy Sunday. Hugs-erika
ReplyDeleteIt must've been weird, especially how it all turns out for him in the end.
DeleteOMGOLLY! A movie I've actually SEEN. Put that in the win column for me. As I recall, I really enjoyed it, and laughed a lot, too.
ReplyDeleteI saw it as such a tragic story :(
DeleteI remember a really strange, tongue in cheek, movie that was a little mind bending--ROFL! :)
