Heaven

No, this is not a discussion on the exsistence of the afterlife, but rather a post about a movie called Heaven that came out in 1998. I watched it last night on one of the Starz! channels due to the intriguing plot.

From Amazon.com:

"A struggling architect (Martin Donovan), being sued for divorce by his wife (Joanna Going) and struggling with booze and gambling, finds work remodeling a friend's (Richard Schiff) strip club, the Paradise. There he meets a transsexual stripper (Danny Edwards) who is bothered by accurate, but extremely violent visions of future events. The increasingly violent visions start including the architect, who doesn't believe in the prophesy. One who does however is a psychiatrist who is seeing both the stripper and the architect and is sleeping with the ex-wife. He uses the prophecies for his own financial gain. Finally the scenes from the vision move into reality amidst many plot turns."

Seemed a little slow going and confusing at first, but after a while it made more sense and had me pretty well hooked. Overall, I definitely enjoyed it. It does, however, have some fairly violent and disturbing moments, but nothing the experienced movie watcher shouldn't be able to handle. Not sure how easy it would be to find this film to rent and I don't recommend buying any movie that you haven't seen. Unless of course you can find it cheap used. You outta giver a chance if you see it to rent or on a movie channel. I mean, if you've got nothing better to do. :D
