I just saw "Proof of Life" about two hours ago and I remain unimpressed. I guess it was good. It was enjoyable, but nothing really stood out from any other action movies. The plot was slightly unique so I didn't know exactly how it would end but I had a hunch. Anyway, see it if you want to or don't... you won't miss too much.

A very funny movie. In the future I expect to see this movie in heavy rotation on a number of basic cable networks. Definitely worth seeing and the plot wasn't too obvious. I would have liked to see Benjamin Bratt more and maybe have more relationship developement between him and Sandra Bolluck but still I wasn't expecting too much and I was pleaseantly surprised.

Good Clean Fun..... See it with your grandmother.

I am really disappointed that the WB's DC went off the air. Especially when they continue to make new episodes of 7th Heaven (How many moral lessons can one family learn?) It was a really good show i thought, from the maybe five episodes that ever aired. I don't know why it didn't catch on. Well, I'll go now and cry for a while.

PS (Almost made me want to become a politician.....almost)

I have to admit, passions is one of the worst shows I have ever seen, but I love it. I can't help myself. Well, let me give you a little backgroud. Two years ago, I had never seen a soap opera before in my life. Mid summer, I started to see very cryptic previews for a show called "passions" and I decided I had to see what the soap craze was all about. The first few days, I didn't get it. I mean, the acting was horrible, it seemed to have no plot, and it dragged on and on. But then one day, I dont know how,it clicked and i was addicted. I wish there were a passions anonymous group I could join because I can't stop now. Every day I am desperate to see if Theresa and Ethan's relationship will work out or if Miguel will finally realize Kay loves him. All I have to say is DON'T KNOCK IT TILL YOU'VE WATCHED......TWICE.

The Locusts was a good movie. I say good because after watching it, I wasn't very impacted. The only memorable aspect of this film was the outstanding performance of Vince Vaughn. Though the story concept seemed very original, the script seemed to be lacking in the kind of lines that stick in your head. See it if it's there but don't go out and look for it.

This movie was visually amazing. Titus, like films such as Romeo And Juliet and Plunkett And Macleane,used scenery updating to convey a more contemporary edge. Although it may seem like a strange concept, the modern props never threw off the story or seemed out of place. I loved the scene where the Empress, Tamra's sons were playing video games and listening to music on headphones while Aaron the Moor played pool.

Anyway, more to the point, I Loved Alan Cumming. His interpretation of the origional Shakepherian lines updated the film without props. I loved the way he could be loud and dictating one second and quiet and unsure the next. This was truly one of his best performances (although all of them have been fabulous).

The only part of this movie that I did not understand was the deal with the little boy. I don't understand who he was or how he came to be there, why they held him up in the collesium, why he carried the baby off into nowhere (where was he going?). I just did not get what his role was or why he was there.

Moral of the movie: Beware of foes bearing pie.

Snow Falling On Cedars was definitely one of the better movies of 1999. A touching love story set on the backdrop of post WW2 America, this movie sheds light on the harsh reality of what was really going on in America at the time. As isn't stressed as much as it should be, Americans aren't the Gods we claimed to be in the early 1900's. The US treated the Japanese, as well as many other minorities almost as poorly as Germany, Italy and Russia. This movie was very beautiful. Although the dialouge was slow at times, most of the movie had stunning cinematography. One of my favourite scenes (Visually) was when Kazuo turned on the overhead light and you could see the shadows moving on the chess pieces and on his face. The rest of the movie was full of the beauty of the Washington area with it's snowy winters and rainy summers and springs. I would highly recomend to anyone to see this movie because it will change you. I came out of this movie deeply moved and sad. The story of unrequited love has never been told in such a way and this movie was very underrated.

My favourite quotes:

(Ishmael) "I know the snow has caused you so much truoble but isn't it beautiful?"

(Ishamael) "Words just float away"

This is just a warning to anyone who is about to read this review: I AM ABOUT TO TALK NON-STOP ABOUT JUDE LAW! After seeing this movie it is very obvious to me why one one of the characters in the movie was nominated for an academy award! Jude's preformance was impecable. Not only was he able to catch the beauty and charm of Dickie Greenleaf, but also the repulsive vanity and selfishness of the character. Not many other actors, if any, would be able to accomplish something like this. To see the true depth of this character one need only ask himself two questions: 1) Did you hate Dickie Greenleaf? 2)Did you love Dickie Greenleaf? The answer to both of these questions is "Yes". This is how multidemensional the character was. All I can say is Jude, Jude, Jude. If you love him (like myself) see this movie. If you don't love him.....you will.

My favourite quotes:

(Marge) "It's like the sun shines on you and it's glorious, and then he forgets you and it's very very cold."

(Freddie)"Dont you just want to f- them all just once?" (Dickie) "Just once?"

Though not what I expected, truly an interesting movie. Definelty not for the happy-go-lucky film goer as it contains some very violent scenes but at the same time, The General's Daughter was not turned into a typical adrenaline pumped action movie with no plot and lots of gunfire. This movie had some of the best scripting I've heard in a while (If for no other reason, see it for the conversations between Travolta and Woods). This movie was far from perfect as some actions lacked much motivation and some characters remained only one- dimesional. See it if you want a good movie, not a great one.

This is a warning to all of you out there who might be tempted to see this movie.....DON'T!!!!! Please spare yourself!! Such a waste of money on the producer's part, such a waste of time on the actor's part. I have sympathy for anyone whose name is associated with this movie, they shall forever bury thier faces in shame. WHY!!?!??!!?!? WHY does this movie suck so much? Why can I not bare to see another soul spend $2.00 to rent it? Well, 1)plot: none. 2) charcters: they could have spent thier time making better movies (Austin Powers, Final Destination) 3) scripting: I haven't heard more nonsensical gibberish come out of anyone's mouth since the Nixon Admin. 4)Do I really need a four? Come on.... DONT SEE IT!!!!!!

After hearing countless times about what a wonderful movie this was from friends, I finally saw Notting Hill and I was not disappointed. This movie honestly is one of the best romantic comedies ever made. Truly Romantic. Truly Funny. I would recommend that everyone see this movie even though it might be considered a "chick flick". I garauntee any guys who are forced into watching this will truly enjoy it. My favorite quote: You are the most beautiful woman in the world! Fancy a ...... (see the movie!)

This movie wasnt horrible, but it want great either. As much as i wanted to like it for some good moments, i couldnt get into it whenever it got cheesy. For example, the neighborhood kids chasing the witch kids and yelling at them. Why?, no reason for it! Also, the aunts annoyed me and the cactus shaped pancakes were just stupid. The movies only only saving point was with the hottie foreign guy whose name i cant spell so i wont even try. My verdict? see it, dont see it.... in the end it wont matter because ive almost forgotten about it already. If you want a good movie to give a bad review to see it. This movie's plot has holes you could stick your foot through.

This movie was great. Not only did it have a wonderful star studded cast, but it managed to make a well known story very origional. Ryan Phillipe in the lead role was brilliant not often have i seen him act up to his potential like he did in this movie (Movies he did that sucked: I know what you did last summer, Nowhere)Mike Meyers also stunned me showing is versitality in one of his few serious dramatic roles. Breckin Meyer was great (Big step up from Dancer TX Pop. 81) Selma Hayek was great. My only complaint was Neve Cambell, I just think she could have done better. Great Great movie!! A must see for those who are nostalgic, or those who want a glimpse of the era we barely missed.

I didn't expect this movie to be as good as it was. I though it was sooo hilarious. I only saw it because Alan Cumming was in it but now I am very glad I saw it. The Spice Girls wer actually very good actresses and Alan was wonderful as well. This movie is a must see for anyone with a youthful sense of humor or who loves pop music.

I would definelty recommend this movie to anyone, my main reason being Jude Law. He is a wonderful actor and completely makes this movie what it is. Also, this movie is full of great quotes. "Know this: I would marry you yesterday" Also, dont miss the conversation between Danny and Anna's fiance!! I give this a 10 out of 10.

Honestly, do not see this movie if you value your time (or sanity). Dancer Tx Pop. 81 was one of the all time most boring movies I have ever seen. I actually had to fast forward through part of it to avoid screaming it was so boring!! Dont see it...thats all i can say.

This movie was very very funny. I was very intelligent too. I loved the ending!! Also, it was casted perfectly. Pheonix and Vaughn couldn't have been better and they work wonderfully together. Definitely a must see!!

This movie had a great story line. There is much more to it than that. A few scenes had not so perfect acting but over all i think the characters were very well developed and believable. I saw this movie a little while ago on FX and a warning to all, it is barely edited, i saw more than i expected to see on network televison, so viewer beware. Definitely see this movie if you are mature enough to look past the theme and pay attention to the story line and character developement.

This movie began slowly and i wasn't expecting much. As is typical with movies, i dont usually buy the hype but this time buy it buy alot of it. This movie was wonderful. A true romantic movie about love and destiny. Very very long but well worth the wait for the ending. One of my favorite scenes is everyone running in the rain. Guys: watch this movie with a pen and pad to write down some wonderful quotes to use on some girl who hasnt seen it yet. This movie truly goes back to a better time when movie had lines that only actors would ever say( a movie doesnt need to be completely believeable to be wonderful). I would definitely recommend this movie for anyone intellegent enough to follow the plot twists and sensitive enough to understand the characters' motivations.
