X2 (2003)
wow prepare for a real action movie
Saw the movie today. I was a little worried that all the previews and all the hype would lead to disappointment. I was wrong. This is one movie where I don't think anyone could have guessed the plot and storyline because there are surprises and twists. This movie is excellent. The directing is wonderful. The cast is superb. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good action flick. I am so happy with this movie that for the first time EVER I will buy this movie on DVD. I will see this movie at the theater twice more at least. Please Please let there be a third and fourth and fifth series.............and sixth.......and
The Hours (2002)
i still don't get it. Why is this a good movie?
Sure the acting is terrific, and the symbolism is impressive, other than that......I found this movie depressing, boring, unresolving, and not believeable. The characters were undeveloped and the movie jumped around all over the place. I love Nicole, Julianne, Meryl and the rest of the cast reads as very impressive. But the movie needed to be fleshed out more. I felt as though I was missing out on something....should I have read Virgina Wolf before going to the movie? Not worth seeing. But don't take my word for it! Just an opinion!
Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)
Very dark, very entertaining, a little sad a little lost
I'd say that this movie was better than some other star trek movies. It was definately entertaining, and had action galore with the usual astonishing special effects. The movie was a little sad, and darker than usual. I would have liked more humor and more screen time for Troi, and the Dr. Crusher.
Live from Baghdad (2002)
excellent the best tv movie I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking about not watching this movie. I am glad I did. We often times forget about live tv and the reporters in harms way. This show goes a long way to show you just how scary the real world is. We are desensitized by tv, violence and awful tragedies everywhere. Live from Baghdad does not overdo the violence or horror of war. They rely on the implied. It is a powerful formulae and it works very. I also liked the story behind the story behind the story. I think there were four different storyboards going on in this movie. This movie is dramatic, and even funny at times. I enjoyed my free tv movie.
Life or Something Like It (2002)
feel good movie that motivates you.
I did not think that Angelina Jolie was a good actress until I saw this movie. This movie makes you stop and think about where you are going in life and if you are on the right track. It's a subtle rollercoaster designed to make you think throughout the whole movie, unlike most movies. I loved it and I would recommend it to everyone.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)
cultural eye opener that crosses all lines
Wonderful movie which envelopes the viewer in a warm fuzzy feeling. I compared this wedding to my own wedding and the events leading up to it and found lots of similarities despite the "Greek" theme. Your cultural is important but so is acceptance of other cultures.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
lovely tale!!!
Not having read or heard much of the book I went into this movie with an open mind. Thus I am commentating on the movie itself and not the adaptation or any other past remakes. I enjoyed this movie immensely and would recommend it to anyone. It will not win any oscars but it has great entertainment value.
The audience was taken for a joy ride with the action in the movie. At the same time it has great drama, twisting moments, suspense and humor. Go and see it!
Gosford Park (2001)
oops
Plain and simple....don't bother even renting it. I admit I liked the period piece and the nuances involved. I liked seeing the divisions between house servants and the nobility. But I did not like being left hanging around at the end. The murder mystery was too mysterious. I went to this movie thinking, "Hey, it has Maggie Smith, and looks pretty funny on the trailers I've seen." About 15 minutes into the film I found myself wondering why I was there. I think I must be expecting too much of films these days.
Legally Blonde (2001)
reasons to avoid this film
I don't know what possessed me to see this movie! I should know by now that any movie that Reese Witherspoon is the star of should be avoided. The title was really a clue as to the validity of this movie. Legally Blonde is probably the worst movie I've seen this summer. Don't waste your money....go see Pearl Harbour instead.
