I love movies, books, music, TV, good food, my wife, my cats, and my dog. (Not necessarily in that order.) I write about whatever's on my mind. For more, go here.

I've got another retrospective up over at Pajiba, this one as part of our Hangover Theater section. I take a look at the mesmerizing, gleeful crap that is The Secret of My Success, which has got to be among the best hangover viewing available.

One of the reasons I remember this film is because Helen Slater apparently fell in love with MJF during filming. He dumped after shooting was over, and sources say she never really got over him.
I have a weakness for movies where the leads fall for each other in real life - like "Time after Time" (Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen) and "Days Of Thunder" (Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise)
Always enjoy your reviews.
