I've always been a huge fan of Cameron Crowe but I was a bit skeptical of his latest effort, "Almost Famous." Having been based on his adolescence, I didn't expect much but once again, this movie reaffirmed in my mind that Cameron Crowe can make little moments so touching. Crowe's writing and the subtle(and sometimes loud) performances by an all around wonderful cast make "Almost Famous" a pleasure to watch and soak in. This is definitely the best movie of the year and deserves all the praise it has been given. Oh, and keep an eye out for Billy Crudup in a STAR-making role as Russell. He steals the show....

It's been a while since a movie has generated enough interest in me for me to watch it. "The Matrix" looked exciting enough in the trailers, so I decided to give it a look. What I found was an amazing movie, with some of the greatest special effects I've ever seen. The camera angles really work for the action sequences and the choreographed fight scenes made me yearn for more. Say what you want about Keanu Reeves' acting. He may not deliver the best dialogue, but his look can carry a film. He was a great choice for the role of Neo. Carrie Anne Moss was great as was the underrated Laurence Fishburne. I highly recommend this film for those who are a fan of visually stunning movies. It will blow away your senses...
