Grand Canyon

GRAND CANYON (1991) - Oct. 27, 2004
A really good movie about a bunch of characters in LA. Obviously not as good as the ultimate "lots of characters" movie - Magnolia - but then not much is. All the performances were excellent, but Danny Glover was the real stand-out as a kind-hearted tow-truck driver. It's too bad he's essentially typecast as Roger Murtaugh because he's a really good actor. The movie was well over two hours but it didn't feel long at all, probably because there were so many characters and they were all really good. In fact if anything the movie could have been longer; I wanted to spend more time with these characters. ***1/2
