Ethan Frome
In this drama based on Edith Wharton's 1911 novel detailing a forbidden love triangle, Ethan Frome (Liam Neeson) is torn between his joyless marriage to Zenobia (Joan Allen) and his longing for cousin and housekeeper, Mattie Silver (Patricia Arquette). Directed by John Madden (would later direct the multi-Oscar-winning Shakespeare in Love), the film features a rare screen appearance by Katherine Houghton (Guess Who's Coming to Dinner).

YAAWWWWWWWWNNNN - sarafina
As a huge Liam Neeson fan, I anticipatedwas looking forward to a little romanace set in the early 20th century. Neeson and Joan Allen do fine jobs of the dull characters they were probably under contract to play, but Patricia Arquette is an anachronism in a period piece. She's unbelievable even without trying to sustain the Boston accent. The story is dull, the whole movie dragged on and on and by the fateful ending, you were just grateful it was over.
MOve on.
