Netflix instant play kept me company while the pork shoulder slow roasted in the smoker.

(24) 11:14 (2005): This was a fun little romp through a town where no one was innocent, except, maybe, Barbara Hershey. This is the kind of movie where lots of stories unfold at the same time, and we get to see them from different points of view throughout the movie. Not my favorite type of movie, but I actually liked this one, and it was benefited by being only 86 minutes long. Also, decent turns by Rachel Leigh Cook, Shawn Hatosy, Patrick Swayze, and Hillary Swank didn't hurt. This flick is pretty much about how, in the blink of an eye, accidental deaths can happen, and they can look like a lot more than they really are.

There a great scene inside a convenience store that, like the rug in The Big Lebowski, really ties the whole movie together. Seriously, a really great scene. If you want to dirty little pleasure, then this movie is just the ticket.

2.5 Stars
