Sex, Lies and Videotape

SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE (1989) - Mar. 7, 2006
Written and directed by Steven Soderbergh, this was a really good movie, especially impressive considering this was his first film. Featuring some really good dialogue (he should write more) and good direction, and some really exceptional performances. Even Andie MacDowell was good, which is saying something. But it was James Spader who really stood out, giving a really impressive performance, one of the best I've seen in a while (you forget what a good actor he is watching Boston Legal, where he seems to coast along with two expressions: smug, and super-smug). ***1/2
