Saturday on DVD: Grosse Point Blank

Myself and several friends have either recently attended or very soon will be attending our 20 year high school reunions. Grosse Point Blank is about a 10 year reunion, but I think this is good timing anyway. Plus it stars cutie John Cusack who plays an alumnus who also happens to be a hit man. Other actors include Minnie Driver, Dan Akroyd, Alan Arkin, Hank Azaria, Joan Cusack, and Jeremy Piven. And the soundtrack features lots of great 80s tunes like Mirror in the Bathroom by the English Beat. Remember that one? I wasn't yet in high school when it came out, just so you know.

You can watch the original trailer here. This film is a comedy and a lot of fun whether or not you are coming up on a class reunion. Enjoy!

  1. This sounds like a good movie -- I like the Cusacks (especially Joan -- I think she's so talented). Thanks for sharing.

  4. Ya know, I have heard about this a gazillion times but never checked it out. Being from Chitown, an old boyfriend of mine went to school with John and I have seen him and Jer a couple times out at clubs. I'll have to add this to the netflix queue.
