Selena (1997)
It's already been 8 years...
31 March 2003
Well, I'm off to watch Selena, once again, as I have done every March 31st for the past 5 years...I just thought I'd stop by and mention how wonderfully well this movie portrays Selena as a person. She was an amazing performer and would have made it to the top of the charts today if only her life hadn't been so cruelly and abruptly ended. "Selena" is a great movie that (as I am a cry-baby when it comes to movies... ;) ) makes me cry at the end every single time I watch it!

Why all the negative comments?
26 March 2001
What's up with all these negative comments? Out of all the comments I read on this site, less than one fifth of them are positive. I may not be old enough to have seen a huge amount of movies, but I must say that as a 16 year old, I truly enjoyed this movie. Of course, certain moments were meaningless, some parts were a tiny weeny bit confusing, but you caught up with the story within the next two seconds. The acting by the whole cast was amazing, the scenery was gorgeous, hehe and so was Vincent Perez! The music was...um...well displaced at certain times, but overall the movie made me cry twice ( well many things make me cry so you might not want to take that into consideration ) the story was quite well constructed, the actors did a great job. (I have an enormous amount of respect for actors as I want to be one someday, so I do not believe that any performance can be bad, some can be improved in certain ways, but nothing is ever awful and only constructive criticism should be given to actors. As I've always been told: If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. A few of the people who commented on the performances should have been taught that.) I have given this movie a 9 out of 10. It may not be one of the best movies ever made, but not one movie has ever been absolutely perfect, and I truly think this one deserves much better reviews that it has gotten, although that is JMHO and everyone has their own, so I'm not dissing anyone's POV. Well that's all of my rambling for today ;)

Wow!

I had seen this movie quite a few years ago and I didn't remember it very well. It was nine o'clock and I was bored out of my mind. I checked the tv guide and saw that "While You Were Sleeping" was about to start. I sat down and smiled for a whole two hours. It may be the cheesiest movie ever, but it makes you feel so good and it's so sweet. Of course, a movie with Bill Pullman is pretty much always good ( I've always had a little thing for him, I don't know quite what it is about him though!). The only thing I don't get is this: I've read all of the 48 reviews on this site and I can't understand why it got such a low rating. Everyone seemed to enjoy it (except one person) and it only got a 6.6/10. I would at least give it an 8.5/10 or maybe even a 9/10 because even though it wasn't THE best movie of all times, it truly was a feel-great movie and very recommendable to anyone who enjoys a good romantic movie!

Wonderful

The first time that I saw the commercial for Ever After, I fell in love with it. The music, the decors, the costumes, the actors, the storyline, everything is amazing. Other than having my three favorite actors in starring roles (Anjelica Huston, Drew Barrymore, and Dougray Scott) everything in this movie is practically perfect. I am addicted to watching this movie and have seen it over 40 times. In my opinion,it is, if not the best, one of the best movies ever.
