Three Minute Review

Title:	Unfaithful
Director:	Adrian Lyne
Plot:	An act of serendipity strikes a comfortable but bored house wife, whose life seems to be missing something.

Adrian Lyne is visually good, I almost give him props for his remake of Lolita, though on some levels, Lolita being remade isn't so much a triumph of uncomfortable filmmaking as much as it is a low budget, surefire guarantee of making an inexpensive film with built in notoriety.  A movie so notorious that it could barely get film distribution and ended up over at Showtime.       ....Lyne of course also directed Indecent Proprosal (aka Who wants to fuck a millionaire), Fatal Attraction, Nine and 1/2 weeks and Flashdance. I'd mention Jacobs Ladder, but it doesn't really tie into the Lyne pathos, save for it's visually stunning qualities. As a matter of fact I can't say a whole lot about Unfaithful, I didn't finish watching it.  I didn't completely like or dislike it.  It is a visually stunning movie, to the point of sometimes being comical, but it does work to setup scenes where everything hinges on getting us to feel what Diane Lane feels. So i will return and see this movie, for Diane Lane, who was recently nominated for an academy award for the role.   ....Of course I am only talking about this movie cause I got laid after the SO finished watching it, we have this running thing, where I have zero interest in sex in the evening, i'm a morning person myself or prefer to be woken up for sex.  There is something about sleep, how it clears the emotional palette, flushing the mind of all the end of day distractions.  I don't count or have to distract myself when i've been woken up or it's early in the morning and my biological clock says I should lay seed inside my partner.  Nope, that's good screwing and the night we watched Unfaithful, I went to sleep and woke up to some good sex, so Adrian Lyne can't be all that bad.
