Movie #854 "Columbus Circle" has some problems but on the whole, it is a good mystery. The main fault to me was Selma Blair --- she hasn't been my favorite in most films that she's been in, and this is no different. Her creepiness was almost enough to have me turn off the film, but I pursued it, and I'm glad I did, because I didn't guess the surprises that were in the script. And I like Giovanni Ribisi, if he were reciting the phone book probably. Kevin Pollack and Jason Lee had something to do with the script and getting this film done, so hats off to them both. The set piece is a very exclusive place on Columbus Circle in NYC, and that was fun to watch that place, like the motel in "Rear Window." Now, it isn't near as good as "Rear Window," but it still kept me watching until the end, and leaving me satisfied with the mystery part of the story.
