But she’s one to talk, thanks to her successful competitor Buddy the Real Estate King (Peter Gallagher), Carolyn’s not that great at selling houses anymore. The magazine executive Lester is married to real estate broker Carolyn (Annette Bening), a nitpicky and strict homeowner with a Karen haircut who thinks her husband is pitiful. While Artemus’s dress wasn’t made of human skin, he still managed to catch McGrath’s eye. As if I didn’t have to deal with enough crossdressing already with Shakespeare in Love. A master of disguise (or so he claims), Gordon is dressed as an escort and equipped with fake boobies and all. But little does our hero know that US Marshall Artemus Gordon (Kevin Kline) is also after McGrath.

After having a little fun in a water tower and showing us a glimpse of Little Willy’s Willy, West has finally caught up to his prey, sneaking into the Gentlemen’s Club that McGrath is hanging out in. Apparently the one-eared slimeball, with a tiny phonograph sticking out the side of his head, is responsible for the butchering of an entire village, including West’s parents. It is 1869 and Smith plays Captain Jim West, a rebellious charmer who’s been chasing after ex-Confederate General Bloodbath McGrath (Ted Levine). A boring guy with nothing memorable to his name, this is the story all about how his life got flipped-turned upside down.ĭirected by Barry Sonnenfeld and based on the classic 1960s TV show, Wild Wild West reteams Barry with his Men in Black star Will Smith. Spacey plays pathetic suburbanite Lester Burnham, this character is the highlight of his film career, it’s all downhill from here.

I’m sure it was very intimidating, but star Kevin Spacey somehow managed to pull it off beautifully. It’s a dark comedy that dabbles in difficult subjects including homosexuality and pedophilia. Directed by newcomer Sam Mendes, American Beauty isn’t your average Best Picture winner.
