    This one was quite interesting. For a movie released in the early 90's, it had quite an 80's feel to it. Rosanna Arquette is great in this as a disgruntled waitress who really strives to be an escape artist, as is David Bowie as gambler on the run. Quite surreal in places, it act... read moreually turns out as quite a sweet movie in the end.

    I just adore this movie. There's something about it that I just love. lol. It's not the funniest movie ever, but it's different and I think it's definitely an original.
