If drugs themselves accentuated the banality of "Blow," there would be no drug problem, period. Though marketing has suggested the contrary, Ted Demme's ("Beautiful Girls" and "The Ref") exercise in mediocrity spawns a main character who is self-centered, uninteresting and naive.
Though it sports plenty of Jennifer Love Hewitt's assets, "Heartbreakers" is ultimately the one in need of a Wonderbra.
What do you get when you cross Tim Burton with the Farrelly Brothers and then aim it at kids? A very peculiar movie experience, that's for sure.

"Obsession and surveillance do not mix." That was one of the main themes of "Rear Window," but Stephan Elliott, writer-director of "Eye of the Beholder," doesn't seem to be aware that Hitchcock beat him to the punch. In this artsy yet technologically sophisticated film, Elliott ("The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert") attempts to develop a story about the passion of a surveillance expert for a femme fatale. "Eye of the Beholder" stars Ewan McGregor as the Eye, an agent for the British consulate who has been assigned to a case in which he discovers Joanna (Ashley Judd). Almost immediately after the Eye begins to watch his subjects, Joanna seduces and kills the person to whom the Eye was assigned.
