De-Lovely (2004)
1/10
Only movie I've ever walked out of.
28 July 2004
I want you to read this carefully and I want you to let it sink in: This was the worst movie I have EVER seen. I say this without exaggeration, and after carefully considering the film and just how horrible it was. Now think about that, of all the movies I have ever seen, I have found this to be the worst. I have never seen a single film that even comes close on the crap-o-meter to this movie. I hate musicals, on film and on stage. I find them-for lack of a better word-silly. It's actually sort of frustrating because I find myself enjoying the story and suddenly the whole world has burst into synchronized song and dance. This film has the same problem with one exception: The stuff between the music is blisteringly boring. It is so dull that at one point in I eventually burst out laughing. Nothing had happened that was legitimately funny at that point to make me laugh(nothing funny happened in the movie period), and there wasn't a stupid line or anything like that. It was just Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd walking around and I suddenly started laughing hysterically. When a friend asked why I was laughing my response was "It's just so bad." The sheer lousiness of the movie took an overwhelming toll on me and I just couldn't take it anymore, I cracked. And here's the kicker, this all happened within the first half hour of the movie, because we all walked out after that. I spent $9.25 on this movie and I don't want you to make the same mistake. I know the critics seem to have liked the film, forget the critics. This movie just plain sucked. See it if you're a moron.

Open Range (2003)
9/10
Great movie.
23 August 2003
"Open Range" may not revive westerns or Costners career, but it should. That's the way one reviewer put it, and I completely agree. Open Range is a spectacular looking western directed by the man who knows them better than anyone actively directing today, Kevin Costner. Costner hit his highest peak of success with "Dances With Wolves" and now after a string of failures returns to form with his best film since that oscar winner. Open Range tells the story of Charley (Costner), a Civil War veteran who learned to kill in the war and made it into a career. He has a perpencity for violence but has been kept calm for 10 years by his boss, Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall). Charley works for Boss helping him drive cattle on the *open range* of Montana, hence the title. One day, Boss sends one of his other employees into town to fetch some supplies, when the man doesn't return, Boss and Charley go looking for him. They find out their friend got into a fight and was beaten by the marshall and put into jail. Charley and Boss find out about all this from Baxter, a rancher who runs the town, who also informs the two that he and the rest of the town "don't take kindly to freegrazers". Charley and Boss collect their man and take him to the town doctor, where Charley is struck with what can best be described as love at first site with the doctor's sister Sue (Annette Benning). Boss and Charley head back to the heard where they are confronted-in a manner of speaking-by four hooded men who presumably work for Baxter, and from there the story builds.

"Open Range" is not imperfect, I thought it dragged on too long towards the end, but found everything before then to be so enjoyable that it made up for the length. Costner knows westerns, and he knows how to film the landscape. If Open Range doesn't win for best cinematography come Oscar time, I will lose what little faith I have in the ceremony. But the real high point of the film is Duvall, in an Oscar worthy performance as a grizzled old man who has a hidden past of his own. The whole performance consists of back to back oscar clips, and there isn't a moment that he isn't fantastic. All in all,Open Range is a great western that fans of the genre will love, and all others can enjoy also.

Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven (2002 Video Game)
It doesn't work
28 July 2003
I bought this game yesterday for $30...the only money I've had for awhile. My computer has every requriment the game needs to work properly, in fact it has about 10 times what's necessarry. I spend 15 minutes installing it and the game doesn't work. The problem is both in gameplay and graphics. You can't see the guy u control, people are invisible except for shadows, and when u look at cars all u see is the steering wheels and the tires. Beware.

Great movie with great performances.
31 May 2003
"The Untouchables" is not a documentary, it re-writes history in almost every way possible. The story of Ness himself has been grossly exagerrated over the years. But this movie isn't meant to inform, it is meant to entertain. And it does it, and it does it well. Robert DeNiro gives perhaps one of the most incredible performances to never get nominated for an Oscar. It is without a doubt the best portrayal of Al Capone ever put on film or television. Sean Connery is also great as Malone, a tough Chicago Irish cop, the kind of man that makes the fair city-my place of residence-one of the toughest cities in the world. It is an action film that doesn't buy into action-film cliches, it doesn't try to be great, it just tries to entertain. Ironically, the quality of this movie arises from the fact that it isn't trying to be great. For anyone that is critical of Kevin Costner, take a look at "The Untouchables" to realize that Costner was once great, even if you don't think he is anymore. The bottom line: "The Untouchables" is a showcase for incredible acting and directing talent, and is worth your time. See this movie.

Unforgiven (1992)
10/10
Truly excellent.
15 October 2002
Unforgiven is a truly wonderful film. If you don't like westerns, then I still suggest you see this movie, because its quality transcends the limits of any particular genre. Eastwood plays William Munny, a former gunslinger who picks up his six guns looking for one last score. He is joined by his friend and former partner Ned Logan, played wonderfully by Morgan Freeman. The two aging outlaws set out for Big Whiskey, Wyoming, where a group of vengeful prostitutes are seeking retribution for the battery of one of their own. Gene Hackman gives an Oscar-winning performance as "Little" Bill Dagget, sheriff of Big Whiskey. He is desperate to keep bounty hunters from riding into town looking for the money the prostitutes are offering. Richard Harris gives a memorable performance as English Bob, a legendary gunfighter who rides into town looking to collect. Little Bill looks to make an example out of Bob, who is an old rival. Along the way, Will desperately tries to convince himself that just because he is temporarily returning to his old life, it doesn't mean he'll stay that way forever. Will's journey to face the man he once was is accompanied by a truly haunting musical score, and breathtaking cinematagrophy. Unforgiven is a story of violence, revenge and redemption, with a non-violent message. It is truly worthy of its best-picture Oscar.

Absolutely God awful
11 August 2002
( Please note that this review was not written by me, the actual imbetterthanu, it was written by my little sister.) This was the worst movie I've ever seen. It wasn't funny at all, it was just plain stupid. Whoever made this movie probably smells funny, and they are also very stupid. Now you know how i think of the movie.

Is this supposed to be this stupid?
9 August 2002
This movie was, bar none, the single wierdest, stupidest, most pathetic flaming piece of garbage I have ever seen. First of all, this is a group of singing bears, they walk, talk, sing and dance. They dress in regular clothes, walk on two legs, and play insturments. Yet, somehow, NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE! No one is bothered by the fact that a bunch of wild animals are displaying more intelligence than the screenplay writer who conjoured up this garbage. I mean, you don't see any talking bears in the audience of the concerts, so not all bears could be like this. But, everyone just sits there, watching a bunch of animals play country music. (Although I must say, even if the don't have thumbs, they're much better than a lot of real country stars.) Plus, the bears are just plain creepy. I mean, the little bear is dressed up in the clothes of some young person, he's laughing and giggling, and I wondered, "Is this really supposed to be some sick midget who kills animals and wears they're skins along with the clothes of his human victims?" Plus, the bears eyes seem incapable of focusing on anything. So even when they're looking at someone right in front of them, they still stare past them, almost through them in a manner that is nothing short of disturbing. I half expected to see M Night Shyamalan's name in the credits. And the thing that really chaps my butt about this movie is that the guy who wrote it, the guy who directed it, and worst of all the guy who designed the bears, ALL GOT PAYED FOR THIS! I mean good lord! What is this world coming to?!?!? If a movie like this came out in the 50's, everyone involved would have been blacklisted. Quality and abillity have taken a back seat to style and marketabillity. (Hence the sudden popularity of, and demand for, Vin Diesel.) May God have mercy on the souls of all those involved. And so help me, if i ever meet the writer or director of this piece of crap, I'll mug him for the $5.75 he owes me for admission.

Awesome
1 August 2002
"Road to Perdition" is easily one of the five best movies so far this year, along with "Minority Report". It is a violent movie with a anti-violent message. The greatest thing about this movie is the way it uses spactacular cinematography and at the same time graphic violence to pull you in to this world. The performances in this movie are awesome, especially Hanks and Newman. Mendes' direction gives the movie an artistic greatness that dosen't get over-shadowed by the grizzliness of what he is filming. This is not your typical gangster movie, it is more about the double lives lead by these men whom we call mobsters. They are killers and church-goers. Hanks in this film is a loving father and husband, but willingly kills men just because his bosses tell him to. It is a story of a father sacrificing his own happiness, and leading a life in which he has to do horrible things, so that his children could one day be free of the burdens he lives with. This is a great movie, go see it.

Great movie, Beyonce can't act.
26 July 2002
I have a message for anyone who thinks this movie was bad: You are an idiot. (End of message) This movie is hilarious. It has the greatest opening ever with the four greatest cameos ever. Britney Spears is so hot it is inconcievable. Mini Me has a bigger part and he is awesome the whole time. But the movie isn't all good. Beyonce Knowles can't act to save her life. She's really hot and everything but she is God awful. Calling everyone "Sugar" at the end of every line is not at all funny. I thought we learned something from Britney Spears in "Crossroads", just because you sing dosen't mean you can act. And, in Britney and Beyonce's cases, if you sing badly you act even worse. Fat Bastard has a bigger part than in the second movie, which makes the movie even better. If you don't like Fat Bastard because he's offensive, shut your face. He's funny. They re-use some of the funny jokes from the second movie but this time they're even funnier. So go see this movie because I said it was funny and anyone who disagrees is the kind of moron who ruins good movies for the rest of us.

Mr. Deeds (2002)
Funny stuff
16 July 2002
This movie could have been a lot better, but it could have been a whole lot worse. The first twenty minutes or so of this movie weren't funny at all, and I was afraid this was a sign of things to come. But, thankfully, Adam Sandler does what he usually does: acts like an idiot and gets laughs. John Turturro is hilarious as Mr.Deed's butler, and some little old guy who was only in the movie for around two minutes was hysterical, too. However, the whole movie wasn't great. Winnona Ryder (if that's how you spell it) gives the worst performance in the history of anything. I mean, I know this movie wasn't meant to be Citizen Kane or anything, but good lord!! She was horrible! The touchy dramatic moments were pretty pathetic, mostly do to Ryder's equally lousy perfomance. I know that this movie is a remake of the Capra movie "Mr.Deeds Goes To Town", and so instantly people are comparing this movie to the original. Every critic I've heard talks about how horrible of a remake this movie is. OF COURSE IT IS! We're talking about ADAM SANDLER redoing a movie by (whatever his first name is) CAPRA! Anyone who thinks that this movie is supposed to be a sincere remake of the original should be smacked without mercy. The idea that anyone, anywhere, ever would look down on this movie because it isn't as kind hearted as the first only proves what true idiots they really are. Rodger Ebert said that this movie was horrible because it was like an insult rather than a remake. Hey, Pop-n-Fresh, if Sandler wanted to win an Oscar, he'd play a gay guy or a mentally retarded guy in one of those cheese ball movies those old farts at the Academy love. Adam Sandler is out to be an idiot and be funny in the process, and this is another movie where he succeeds.

Best movie I've seen in awhile
12 July 2002
When I saw the trailer for "Minority Report" and later heard the plot, I instantly figured out how the movie was going to end. Or at least I thought I did. The movie actually went in directions I never could have imagined. There were times when I would predict something ten minutes before it happened, but when it did happen, there was a twist to it that made it much different than what I expected, and took the movie in a totally different direction. What I was most impressed with was Speildberg's vision of the future. It was a clever and seamless joining of modern life, with incredible futuristic visions of a world we can't imagine today. It was nice to see a vison of the future that didn't take place in the post-apocalyptic aftermath of a nuclear holocost, or in a world where machines or a totalitarian govornment has taken power. Tom Cruise was great as a pre-crime officer framed for murder, while Spieldberg's direction only makes the film greater. I loved the contrast between the futuristic surealism of the pre-crime headquarters, and the seemingly present day suburbian style setting we see in the film's opening seen. When you combine the twisting and turning plot with the action-packed chases and the incredible settings, you get a summer movie worth seeing. See this movie before you bother seeing anything else this summer. 10/10.

Should have been called "Sorry about that last one"
23 May 2002
This movie was really good. Of course after Episode I, not too many movies could seem bad. But this movie does more than just pass the low expectations set by the previous installment. This movie lives up to the Star Wars saga. With great digital action scenes, a host of cool characters, and a really cool plot, this movie does the original three films justice. First of all, no Jake Loyd, the ten year old Annikan Skywalker from the last one. Second of all, (and this may be the best reason for the film's quality) Jar-jar Bynx is on screen for about two minutes total. And finally, the greatest moment in the history of american movies: YODA WITH A LIGHTSABER! It was one of the greatest moments I've ever seen. So, wether you're a fan or not, your sure to enjoy this movie.

WHAT?
1 April 2002
This is the worst movie EVER. You have got to be kidding me. The script was by far the stupidest piece of garbage I have ever seen. Are these guys supposed to be cowboys? I'm surprised they even know what end of the gun to hold. These little fairy boy band rejects are the biggest slap in the face that the world could have given the James-Younger gang. If you like westerns, than don't bother with this one, or any other western that has come out since Unforgiven. (With the exception of Tombstone). See this movie if your a moron

Texas Rangers (2001)
Where have you gone Clint Eastwood?
1 April 2002
I sat in the theatre, watching the credits. It was nearly empty, the theatre i mean. As the other two people that had just seen this horrible train wreck of a film with me left the theatre, i hung my head and cried. I mourned the Western film genre. No not really, but that wouldnt sound too unlikely if you see this horrible nightmare. I did ask the question listed above, however. "Where have you gone Clint Eastwood?" The last good western i remember seeing was an Eastwood movie: Unforgiven. So after witnessing this "western" i begged that question. We need Eastwood, i don't care if he is 71 years old. All we need is one more good western, just one, and there will be hope left for the genre.

But, I know this will never happen. Because after viewing this...thing, and recalling American Outlaws, i have discovered the truth. It is simply this: Hollywood is attempting to kill the western. Don't deny it. Think about it. Just think about the cast of this movie. First there's James Vanderbeek (who's last name im sure i spelled wrong.) Does ANYONE out there buy Dawson as a Texas Ranger? I mean shouldn't this guy move off the creek before he tries to be a tough guy?

Next theres Ashton Kutcher: Dude Where's My Car? Enough said.

Then theres Usher: USHER?!?!? How the hell did that happen? Seriously, are you tellin me that just after the Civil War a confederate state is going to make a black guy a lawman?

So, add to the worst casting in the history of American cinema quite possibly the worst script Hollywood has puked up in the last fifty years and you have THE WORST WESTERN EVER. Where have you gone Clint, where o where have you gone?

Awesome.
29 January 2002
This movie was plainly and simply awesome. first of all i just want to say that i can't stand richard gere, but he was good. The movie itself was great. Some of the moments in this movie were unbelievable, it was intensely scary without getting unreal. This movie pulls you in from the opening scene and keeps you there. Some people may say that it loses steam towards the end, but it only slows a little and it picks up again quickly. The fact that this movie is based on actual events is the scariest element of the movie, don't be surprised if you find yourself looking over your shoulder more after this movie.

Corky Romano (2001)
A 4.8?!?!?!?
15 October 2001
when i visited this site to see how this movie was doing, i was surprised to see it had a rating of 4.8. i find this ridiculous to the point of ubserdity, if thats how you spell that word. Come on people, this movie was a lot funnier than that. now normally in a situation like this i would take exerpts from other peoples comments that don't share my views and make those people look like idiots. However, since i am the first person to comment on this movie so far, i can't do that. so, let me tell you about the movie, something i haven't done in awhile. first of all, if there is anyone on this site that dis-liked this movie for it's plot (or lack there of), may god have mercy on you soul. this movie was not made to win oscars and it was not made to become some critically acclaimed epic, it was made to be a hilarious and stupid comedy, which is exactly what it is. Chris Kattan is as funny as he always is (whether you find that good or bad). but i was surprised at how well peter falk was at playing Corky's father Pops. This guy had me laughing my butt off the whole time he was on the screen. Along with Richard Roundtree (Shaft!) and an array of other characters, this movie is a stupid but fun hour and a half to kill on a sunday afternoon. go see it.

Zoolander (2001)
10/10
thought it would be horrible, wound up being perfect
1 October 2001
i don't how on earth this movie is getting a 6.6 on this site. this movie was hilarious. it had all the great stuff you'd expect from ben stiller. add to that owen wilson, who is easily one of the funniest actors out there, and you have a great movie. if you don't already know this whole movie is based on a skit stiller did at the vouge fashion awards. i didn't see the skit, so i thought it wouldn't be that good, plus the trailer makes it look pretty dumb. thankfully this movie was as funny as any movie to come out this year. i don't know what else i can say without giving away too much, other than will farrel was funnier than ever, and the whole movie was ben stiller at his best. go see it.

good movie, good movie.
16 September 2001
this movie was good. the little kids were funny, keanu reeves was pretty cool. i also saw on the news the night before i went to go see this movie that there was some big black guy whining about the language used by the kids. he said that it was a "poor and grim representation of america's preseption of inner city children." um..im wondering if this man even HAS kids of his own, and if he does, he should hang out with them more often. the language of the kids was strong, but if u mean to tell me that the majority of kids living in the projects, or ANYWHERE ELSE for that matter, don't use that kind of language, get your head examined. anyway, this was a good movie and i enjoyed it.

are you kidding me?!?!?
22 August 2001
what is this? i mean were a bunch of idiot out of work screen play writers sitting around and thinking.."hey, let's make a movie about a video game nobody has played in two years, make some action scenes and stuff all of them in the trailer and then make up a bunch of ridiculous dialogue to fill in the other hour and thirty five minutes." then another idiot says, "i dont' know, do you think people might get bored?" and the first idiot replies,"don't worry, we'll get some hot chick, give her fake boobs, and everyone will be captivated by that." and another idiot says, "that sounds pretty awesome, and i think we know a little something about awesome. speaking of which, have you seen the new hulk hogan movie, it's fabulous..." ok, that probably isn't what really happened, but this movie was that horrible. first of all, one of the things about this movie that was supposed to make it a success was the fact that the hero, the big action star, was a WOMAN!! oh my gosh, what an original idea! here i thought they would use an over-used, over-played cliche. for those of you who are unfamiliar with sarcasim, i will be blunt. honestly, are we supposed to be impressed by the fact that a woman is the hero of this story? especially when you consider that any time, and i mean ANY TIME you turn on the t.v., you get the point that women are equal to, no, better than men hammered into your brain. every commercial and t.v. show always involves a man doing something stupid, and a cool, smart women looks at him like he's the decay of western society, and fixes the man's blunder. i dont' have a problem with this to a certain extent, but it is a constant overload of this garbage. my prediction is that in ten years men will walk down the street and at every corner it will be manditory for a man to be looking at a sports magazine or a hot girl and walk into on-coming traffic. then a smart, beautiful, sophisticated, yet tough, strong, and independent woman will grab the primitive male and pull him away from a car that nearly hits him. the man will be forced to say, "thank god for women, without whom the world would be a bunch of knuckle-dragging, primitive, slow-witted morons." failure to do so would result in lashings on the spot. you probably think im kidding, but i truly feel it will one day come to this. that is why, out of pure mercy, i will not bring a male child into this world. once again, you probably think im kidding. and don't get me wrong, i don't mind the idea of a female action star, that is perfectly fine with me. but in this particular instance, i found it a little hard to believe. no, im kidding, i found it to be an insult to my intelligence. i can deal with the fact that this woman can over power a machine that has the power to break through stone walls, or that she can take out a bunch of fully armed special operatives with her bare hands, of even that when this lady runs she is in constant danger of tripping over her ridicuously large...well, you know. but it got to be too much when this lady is able to slice and dice all of these stone statues while these huge army guys with machine guns are being picked off by the statues one by one. then after these army people have unloaded countless rounds of automatic fire into these statues, but not achieving a scratch, boob raider, i mean tomb raider is then able to decapitate a statue with a single round from her hand gun. the final straw for me didn't even come in the movie. it was some shrill feminist movie critic (and you know how qualified those people are) giving an editorial on some network like CNN. she sat there for five minutes of my life which i'll never get back, and told me how not only is angelina jolie part of a new breed of action heroes (i later discovered that this "new breed" was the group of people known as women) but that this new breed (women again) was better than the old breed (men). she sat there and informed me how arnold, sly stallone, van damme, and segal are all over the hill and haven't made any good movies in years. she said this whole speech of hers with a bitterness that made me think she thought she was defending the fact that a woman was the hero of this story. she also informed me that angelina makes a far better action star than arnold EVER did. i'm sorry, but if your telling me that lara croft, who's best line of defense is the front side duel airbags she has attached to her, is gonna be able to beat up the terminator, the eraser, or the guy who killed the predator, your insane. especially when this annoying lady decided to play a clip of croft standing in a pair of white pajamas springing around on bungee cords, followed up immediatley by a clip of arnold from Predator, holding a massive machine gun. so, add to this pile of garbage horrible acting, dialouge, sets, and "action" sequences, and you've got a recipe for a steaming pile of worthless rubbish. go see this movie if your an idiot. But don't take my word for it, after all im just a guy.

absolutley hilarious
19 August 2001
this was the funniest movie of the summer. period. no argument. i can't remember when i laughed so hard at a movie. the scene with jon lovitz at the WW2 convention is one of the funniest scenes i've ever seen. i had only 2 problems with this movie. 1) The soundtrack. especially "Who Let The Dogs Out" and "Allstar" i hated these songs the minute i heard them, and by now i nearly puke if i hear one miserable note of either. 2) The ending, it seemed alright at the time, but now, hours after i've seen it, i feel a bit cheated. with all the great gags and hilarious jokes in this movie, i figured that they could come up with an ending a bit more creative than the one in this movie. over all though, this movie is one of the funniest movies of all time. see it!!

Wyatt Earp (1994)
8/10
here's a tip, if your going to comment on this, research the topic
17 August 2001
I just want to say that i will be the first person to step up and defend Kevin Costner. With movies like The Untouchables, Dances With Wolves, and Field of Dreams, this guy has proven himself several times over. Just because someone in Hollywood has the guts to do movies that HE wants to do, regardless of their potential at the box office, we shouldn't slanderize this guy every chance we get. People say Costner has taken a big turn for the worse lately, but i liked Waterworld and most recently, Thirteen Days. I would also like to say that i dont' see any of you people who criticize this guy so much makin movies. With that said i would also like to say that i love Tombstone, and bought it right after i saw it the first time. With two movies coming out about the same true story back to back, and with the first release (Tombstone) being such a big success, comparisons are inevitable. But these movies aren't really based on the exact same events. Tombstone is about, just that, Tombstone and what the Earps did there and immediatly after. Wyatt Earp isn't about the Earps, it's about WYATT EARP, hence the tittle. Aside from that, the movies are totaly different. First of all Tombstone, good as it was, is almost a work of fiction. I loved Kurt Russel and Val Kilmer as the movie's center pieces, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday respectively. The fact is however, Russel plays a very emotionally open person. Costner plays him as a quiet, almost cold person. Now, alot of people who have made comments about this movie have criticized Costner for that.(Big surprise.) But, you can't blame Costner for this because Wyatt Earp is not a fictional character, he was a flesh and blood human like you, and most importantly, Costner plays Earp much more realisticly. Then there is the much debated arguement over who plays a better Doc Holliday, Val Kilmer in Tombstone, or Dennis Quaid in Wyatt Earp. Well, here's the thing, if you mean who played Doc closer to reality....then the undisputed winner is Quaid. But if you mean who is more enjoyable, well that's a matter of opinion. But before i move on i got a bone to pick with somebody who said Tombstone was much better because Russel played the kind of Earp that "we imagine". Look lady, you can have whatever ridiculous ideas about the way past events took place all you want....but don't ever bring me into your childish little dream world by generalizing your opinions by saying what "we imagine". When it comes to this i don't imagine anything, i actually got the facts. Now i don't want to sound like a know-it-all, because i hate those people, but, as i said in my summary, if your going to comment on this movie, research the topic, or at least now the facts. Then this same man or woman who tells me what i imagine poeple as goes on to say she imagines Doc Holliday as a "sly and witty sort of character the way Kilmer played him" Well that is fabulous, but the fact is that Doc, who was a witty person was witty in the way Dennis Quaid portrays him. For example in a conflict a drunk Ike Clanton tells Holliday that Holliday's day is comin. Doc responds by saying, "My mama always said never put off 'til tomorrow the people you can kill today." Then also in the list of comments for this movie is some total moron who said Quaid is at his worst on this movie. Anybody care what that guy thinks? I didn't think so. In closing Wyatt Earp is a realistic and enjoyable accounts of the life of one of the most compelling characters of the old west.

are you all out of your friggin minds?!?!?
6 August 2001
this movie was more boring than church! they just talked and talked they hardly ever shot anybody! Michael Corleone is a little girly man! and that Sonny guy, no one intimidating is named Sonny! when he got blown to bits, i laughed....hard! Then there's Vito! What's with this guy? Does he have marshmallows stuffed in his mouth? why does he look like that? and what's with that name...Vito? who names thier son after a presidential command! it could only be one typed of people, hillbillies. Italian Mafia hillbillies. If you want a real good movie go see Santa With Muscles! he'll stop them Corleones!

Very good, a complex story with a few plot holes
5 August 2001
i really liked this movie. Dennis Quaid is one of my favorites, and i really liked him here. i also was impressed by james caviezel, who plays Quaid's grown up son. What i loved about this movie was the story line. it could be dismissed as confusing and thin, even ridiculous. however, i couldn't dismiss it like that because it was just too good. there were several parts in this movie were chills ran up and down my spine because of all the suspense, or action, or if something was just that cool. However, i noticed that when Frank Sullivan (Quaid) did something to change the future, the only person who memories of both pasts John Sullivan (Caviezel), Franks grown up son. this was one of the only things in this movie that i looked down on. if your looking for a very original, very good movie, check out Frequency.

Rush Hour 2 (2001)
10/10
better than the first, or any movies this summer
4 August 2001
if your looking for the best movie of the summer, wait no longer. RH2 is easily the best movie of the summer. jackie chan is funnier than he has ever been. the action was great, and chris tucker and jackie chan are better together than ever. my favorite line was when jackie and chris are in a fight with each other and jackie says ,"I'll bitch slap you back to Africa." this movie out does the original and leaves me counting down to the day RH3 will be coming out. SEE THIS MOVIE
