High Fidelity:
John Cusak (Being John Malkovich) stars as Rob Gordon, the owner of a
semi-failing record store located on one of the back streets of Chicago. He
sells music the old-fashioned way, on vinyl, with his two wacky clerks – the
hysterically funny rock snob Barry (Jack Black) and the more quietly opinionated
underachiever Dick (Todd Louiso). But Rob's business isn't the only thing in
his life that's floundering – his needle skips the love groove when his
longtime girlfriend Laura (Iben Hjejle) walks out on him. And this forces him to
examine his past failed attempts at romance the only way he knows how!
Grosse Pointe Blank:
Unlike his High School friends who became respected professionals, Martin Blank
(Cusak) found a lucrative career as a hit man. But the job has lost its appeal
and Martin faces an uncertain future. Now, he finds himself back in his home
town of Grosse Pointe to attend his ten-year High School reunion, complete one
last “job” and take another shot at rekindling a romance with the girl he
stood up on prom night.
