I just saw this movie for the second time on a local tv station. The first time I had seen it was on it's original tv broadcast on NBC back in 1996.

The movie seems to move a bit slowly and isn't very entertaining. The only reason I watched it again was that I'm a huge Brian Austin Green fan. In this film you can see him styling short blonde hair and wearing a leather jacket with blue jeans and a pair of boots. Looks sort of like a biker. Looked very different from how he looked on 90210.

He plays a devios graduate student who falls for one of his teachers. They have a romance which he considers to be something serious, but for her it's only a fling. Afterwards things turn ugly fast. Brian plays a good villain, but the film ends up being flat.

I really did enjoy this film, even though it's a bit before my generation, as I was 11 when this film came out. The music in it is amazing and Eddie Vedder and Jeff Ament each have small parts in the movie, as members of Matt Dillon's band. Plus it has a couple of live performances by Alice In Chains and Soundgarden. There's a scene that reminds you a lot of how "in" and mainstream grunge music was in te early 90's, as Pearl Jam's "State Of Love & Trust" is being danced in a dance club as if really were dance music. I really can't wait for rock to make it's come back. Most of todays music really does suck. At times this film reminded me a lot of early "Melrose Place". The apartment complex, the gossip and the fashion. All though these people weren't as bad or mean as the character on MP. Cameron Crowe does another great job, as it seems he aways has done. I rate it a 7.5 out of 10.
