Shakespere in Love


I adored this movie. The cast was amazing. Joseph Finnes was excellent and Geweth great as always. The thing that surpised me most about was its pace. I thought a movie about Shakepere would slow, but it was perfect.


10/10

Annie Hall

Iron Man


Iron Man took a while to get going but once it did it was awesome. A great cast that completely worked. Tons fun and such a good ending. Bring on more.


9/10

40-Year-Old Virgin


I resisted this movie for a long time because I thought it would just be crude jokes. And yes it was, but was also funny and warm. I think the great think about these type of movies that characters are likable. Steve Carell's character was just average guy, you could relate to him. A great movie that I regret waiting so long to see.


10/10

Octapussy


This was good but very long. Moore is not my favorite Bond, but he was quite good and Maude Adams was excellent. Could have used a faster pace but a good movie.

The Graduate


This movie was great. The way it was shot was truly amazing. The transformation the Ben goes through in the movie I believe everyone can relate to.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall


I was suprised to learn Jason Segel wrote this movie. Big talent. A great movie and a great location. I always love seeing Paul Rudd.

The Great Debaters


I did not like this movie. It was more everything else and almost no debating. The entire cast just drove me nuts. A waste of time.


0/10

Bladerunner


I wasn't sure how I would like this movie. I had heard so much about over the years but never had much interest it seeing it. There were many times where I was not enjoying it and did want stop it. But I couldn't do it. It did pull me in despite not enjoying it that much. That is good filmmaking.


6/10

Made of Honor


I don't usually like Patrick Dempsey, but in Made of Honor I did. The plot was predictable but so watchable. I enjoyed it and it was great to see Busy Phillips as a bridesmaid.


8/10

Key Largo


A Bogey and Becall movie as always great everything betwen them. But I thought Edward G. Robinson was the best. He plays a gangster who take over a hotel during a hurricane. Key Largo is a little slow but it makes up for it with great acting.


7/10

Ugly Betty: The Complete Second Season


The second season of Ugly Betty was not quite as good as the first. I don't know if it was strike related or not. Toward the end it did pick though. So if you are fan it is worth it.

Sixteen Candles


I was having an eighties phease and had never seen Sixteen Candles. I really like Molly Ringwals so I thought I couldn't lose. Sadly though, I was wrong. The movie was slow and the characters got on my nerves.


3/10

The Final Chapter is here. Vaughn is missing and could be a double agent. Sydney is expecting and the mysteries are alive and well. This season was very well done and so worth the wait.
