IDENTITY

Year Released: 2003
MPAA Rating: R
Running Time: 87 minutes

ANOTHER VIEW! Sounds like a good idea, and the film actually isn’t that bad for the first hour or so, but once the tricky twisty ending is introduced, “Identity” goes to pieces…

METALLICA: SOME KIND OF MONSTER

Year Released: 2003
MPAA Rating: Unrated
Running Time: 127 minutes

SXSW 2004 DOCUMENTARY FEATURE SELECTION! Documentary directors Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky actually do a great job of filming what was originally supposed to be a documentary about the recording of the new Metallica album, which due to rehab and a few other sidesteps turned into a two year project.

THE RING

Year Released: 2002
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Running Time: 100 minutes

IN THEATERS! What “The Ring” has going for it is that it’s by far the coolest film made by a major studio since “Fight Club.” Producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald should be commended for letting director Gore Verbinski make a creepy, different and very non-commercial film…
