The Rules of Attraction

Directed by: Roger Avary (Nothing worth mentioning)

Starring:  James Van Der Beek (Varsity Blues, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back)

Shannyn Sossamon (40 Days and 40 Nights, A Knight's Tale)

This film follows the escapades of some really annoying American college students who are really into sex, drugs and being completely messed up.  What to say about this movie, hmmm, well I didn't hate it which I know Dominic did from the "Wow, this is really bad" and "can we go now?" comments that I was getting from him.  Although there were really unlikable characters and a kind of disturbing storyline which makes me really glad that I don't attend an American college, it was quite an interesting film.  I think the only character in the movie that I didn't hate was Paul, Ian Somerhalder's character and I really liked some of the techniques used.  The way that the film kept going backwards and the way the screen was spit in two showing both James Van Der Beek and Shannyn Sossamon's points of view at the same time while they were talking, that was book.  Oh and I can't forget the credits which run backwards.
