Movie	The Black Dahlia
Nutshell	Brian DePalma's James Ellroy's Black Dahlia which has nothing to do with the actual case and contains Josh Hartnett with an Alfalfa Switzer hairstyle. You figure it out.
Good Things	Aaron Eckhart, The cinematography, locations and production design are a vintage L.A. wonderland. It's like Martha Stewart's Living only Film Noir. Also Mia Kirshner and Mike Starr are good.
Bad Things	Obtrusive nicknames, clown paintings, Rachel Miner drawing rude cartoons, confusion to the point where I didn't know what was going on and just hoped to find out where Aaron Eckhart had gone
Features	Troy Evans, John Kavanagh, retro porn, gratuitious earthquake scene, a pimp in a checkered suit and a big hat, shirtless male foxy boxing
Uncomfortable Moments	This movie is one long uncomfortable moment but maybe the scenes with Hilary Swank are the worst offenders.
Notable	There's a line reading in this that made me burst out laughing which distracted me from my confusion momentarily.
Best Part	Fiona Shaw going all apeshit.
Best Line	"Bucky? I'll try to remember."
Crowns	2 out of 5
