"Swingers" and "Go" : Films Directed By Doug Liman

Told from three perspectives, Go is a story of a bunch of young Californians trying to get some cash.

They do and deal some drugs, score money and sex in Las Vegas, and generally experience the rush of life.

Stars the raven haired beauty Katie Holmes.

If you like Pulp Fiction, you'll enjoy this film.

Well acted and a fantastic, well scripted storyline and dialogue. Darkly funny in places, disturbing and shocking in others.

Soundtrack is recognisably late 90's and fits in well with the film.

Definitely worth a watch.

Vince Vaughn stars in Swingers - 1996.

This is a story about Mike, a guy who left his girl in New York when he came to LA to be a star. It's been 12 months since his girlfriend left him and he's not doing so good.

So, his pal and some other friends try and get him back in the social scene and forget about his 6 year relationship. They decide on a spontaneous road trip to Las Vegas.

Excellent soundtrack, and some genuinely funny scenes and dialogue.

I defy any man to watch this film and not relate in some ways.

We've all been where Mike has been and there are so many times you recognise 'wrong moves' but, we've all done it!

Don't go out of your way to get this film, but if you see it advertised, well worth a watch.
