Rated R for 3 or 4 filthy words coming out of our face-holes.
Forty-nine episodes into the Next 100 Project and now we tackle a racy, lurid and ultra-fun Oscar-winner. T’was a controversial choice for Best Picture in 2002, but the flick has some tremendous song-and-dance numbers and some excellent performances. Zellweger & Zeta-Jones are dynamite, while Gere offsets those bad girls with loads of panache. Caffeine up your blood with some Sparkplug Coffee, then hunker down with this deliciously mean musical from 15 years ago!
For The Record: The O.J. Simpson trial ended in October 1995, not in 1994.
