Empire Records (1995 Allan Moyle)

Written by Carol Heikkinen, her only previous credit being Bogdanovich's The Thing Called Love.

Teens in record store have very understanding boss / father figure Anthony LaPaglia. Wasn't sure if Rory Cochrane was brilliant or awful - veered towards the former - in strangely Methody performance which would have worked beautifully in a fifties movie. With Liv Tyler, Renee Zellweger (both making an impression), Johnny Whitworth (the artist), Ethan Embry (the kid from Dutch!), Debi Mazar, Maxwell Caulfield (washed up star).

We very enjoyed it - the extended version (which is a bit patchy).
