This movie shows what it can be like to discover that you are not living a life which matches your beliefs and values.  We get to watch as different characters deal with that realization in different ways.  I think Kevin Spacey does a great job in this movie.. The must be something I didnt get about this flick--why did it win so many oscars?? I only caught this film towards the end so luckily I didnt have to sit thru the whole thing, very bad don't waste your cash on this flick.

This movie is one of the best thrillers I have ever seen, it is creepy. Especially at the start, it is shocking. THe ending is one of the best twists that i have ever seen in a film of this type, and the acting is superb. I cannot say all that i want to say in this review, but I definetly liked this one. The Plot:An college professor is hurt by his wifes death, killed by a right-wing group. He has becomes obsessed with terrorists. When his new neighbors living across the street he has a feeling that his neighbors, could be terrorists hiding from the FBI or planning their next target.I agree with Kochavit--good flick but it doesnt desreve 4 stars
Charlies Angels

That girl from E.T. Is Drew Barrymore.. and guys film is right..This movie is very corny and as you said had no plot..it's only for certain people. You either love it, or hate it. . I think this was a good movie.It is about 3 angels, Lucy Loo, Cameron Diaz and whats her face from E.T. They try to find a Mr. Knox who's been kidnapped. There are many unsuspected surprises in this movie.This movie has no plot and bad writing but some good action sequences that the guys will appreciate.
Erin Brokovich

Buy Video

Erin Brockovich works for this law firm, but her position in it is really low because she doesn't have a law education and not much of an education in most things. What she has is spunk and one day while she was filing something she found this estate plan with doctor notes in it. Erin became curious and she began to dig around. She discovered that the water in some people's home was contaminated and they had all these diseases and serious nosebleeds and other things. She then goes around trying to get information with her boss, the lawyer. They're trying to prove that the water company is wrong and to make them pay. I think this is really a good movie. The thing that makes it so good is that this was based on a true story. This movie involves a little bit of everything. There's a little humor in it and some other things. I wonder if this movie has received any reward because it should. I think this movie just captivates people because of the seriousness of this movie and that this really did happen. Did Not See.

This movie is soo teenagerish It's not even a joke..So unrealistic and just for cheap thrill. Don't watch this movie alone it gets pretty scary . Some dude goes on a plane ride with his buddies and has a premonition the plane will explode, after that its premonition aftre premonition after all of dudes buddies start dying-If you are not a fan of horror/suspense then this movies is not for you-watch out for the totally shocking "bus scene" BAM! this movie is enjoyable from start to finish BUY FROM US NOW!
Gladiator

Buy This Movie

Russel Crowe is so hunky! A good plot and awesome musical score will keep you thoroughy entertained. The acting overall is terrific,You will love to hate Jauquin Phoenix as the evil Claudius. My only complaint is that it's a bit long for my taste I saw this movie twice because it's Maximus Coolness-Russel Crowe plays a army general who gets demoted to a gladiator and fights his way out of gladiator row-I didnt much care for the dude who kept wanting to shag his sister-but other then that this movie is a stunner that blows Titanic out of the water. What are you waiting for? Buy This Movie from us!
The Green Mile

Buy This Video

2.5 Everyone says that the worst thing about "The Green Mile" is that it's too long... I, however, don't think it's to long at all. "The Green Mile", along with "The Shawshank Redemption", is one of the very few movies that I've started after 9 PM and stayed awake for. And I've fallen asleep on some great movies, including "Die Hard with a Vengence". But not on "The Green Mile"...Pack a box of tissues because you will be in tears by the end of this movie This movie related the tale of some old dude (Hanks) in a nursing home who tries to relate the tale of when he was a prison guard in the Green Mile while there a prisoner accused of raping and killing 2 girls heals the wardens wife from cancer..I fell asleep after the 1st hour but then at the end it got good--Hanks is remarkable as always, but the guy who stole this movie was no doubt Michael Clarke Duncan who was incredible. He showed he can cover a wide range of emotions and played the role as perfect as Stephen King had written it.I agree too long--Buy Now and Enjoy!
Gone In 60 Seconds

Buy This Movie

This Cage movie really disapointed me with everything. It was ridiculious. The cars are cool but the plot is so predictable.I'm sure 8 will agree with me this one is a waste of time. Nicolas Cage plays a car theif who became a baal tshuva and then is dragged back to his crimes to save his brother.This plot is so dumb I left it before it was even over..Why didnt Cage and his brother just escape town? lol
Hollow Man

Buy This Movie

I had to close my eyes a few times in this movie, but as a thriller it was pretty good. I liked the effects, and its entertainment value alone didn't let me notice whatever holes the plot had. It just wasn't as bad as I heard, and I don't see what the big fuss is about. I liked it, not LOVED . Good effects. especially the gorilla in the beginning I saw this movie and i think it's gr8 the special effects were really gr8-- Kevin Bacon is a bad boy in this movie but he was great,the rest of the actors were great too.that's why i rated this movie four stars.
Keeping the Faith

>I went and saw this movie with my Catholic friend from college, and being Jewish this movie seemed all to appropriate for us. Also since we are familiar with each other's religious views, the movie hit close to home. I seriously could not stop laughing, and I recommend you see it with anyone. It's always better when art imitates life, as it does with this movie. It's accurasy into the Jewish faith is a little off, but it is still one of the funniest movies ever KEEPING THE FAITH is set in NYC where a priest and a Rabbi Ben Stiller from Something About Mary) have their friendship tested when an old mutual female friend, pays them an unexpected visit. Ofcourse they both fall head over heels with the successful young wall-street type and it's downhill from there..a very cute movie that is worth seeing.Buy Now
Meet The Parents

Buy Video

Meet the parents was hilarious. Robert De Niro is perfect in the role of the "Over dwelling father". The interactions between De Niro and Ben Stiller are wonderfully scripted. Throw in some politically incorrect themes and you have a very funny movie. This movie is a perfect example of any guy's nightmare of meeting his girlfriend's parents. Guys don't worry my parents know when to back off This is definitley the funniest film of the year 2000.I was laughing the whole time--watch out for some funny scenes like the cat scene or the ashes scene or the part where Deniro says "I have nipples,wanna milk me"? --Deniro plays a very convincing overprotective father who doesnt want Focker-lol as his son in law, so he tries many tacticts to try get rid of him--only to warm up to him in the end-awwww

Overall this really wasn't a great movie, but did have some funny one liners.Jim Carrey can get laughs no matter what he does but this movie lacked a lot. The plot was a little too ridiculus and it was a little degrading toward women but its just a movie, no serious message should be taken from this movie A dude with multiple personalities falls in love with a woman, only to find out that his other personalities have also. They end up fighting each other for her hand.--A brilliant part of the movie was Carrey's three black full grown sons. They were hysterical and really made the movie hillar.
Mission Impossible II

Buy Video

I loved it! it has action, comedy and mystery all mixed in one!Tom cruise has great with the "Nayah" character she is so cute! It has a great story line and it is so much easyer to follow then the first. Most of the time the first movie is the best but with MI2 it passes the first one by a mile. If you liked the first you are gonna love the second! It is a visual masterpiece and I agree with u--a MUCH easier plot than the first Mission Impossible which is hard to understand.I really don't understand why everyone hates this movie. I think this is a gr8 action movie because it is directed by John Woo(who directed most Jean Claude Van Damme movies, face/off,etc)Cruise Rocks--especially at the beggining of the movie when he is all climbing the mountain without safety gear.
NUTTY PROFESSOR 2

What a let down! The Movie Trailers actually showed the best parts, so once I saw the movie I was expecting more. Although the Fathers Retirement Dinner was funny, I found the table chat hard to follow as Eddie ad libbed so much. It was nothing like the first Movie. Although I didnt think this was one the funniest movies ive ever seen i did like it.Eddie Murphy shows his talent by playing many different characters which you would not think are being played by the same actor.Also in this movie is Janet Jackson who plays Shermans girlfriend which I thought was a good actor for the part.All in all I would advise you to see this movie if you have nothing better to do.

Did Not See Do whatever you have to to stay away from this movie--It was one of the worst movies of all time and should not even have made the movies> Geeks who are fans of Matrix etc might like this.
The Perfect Storm

Buy Video

Even though the book was much better, I loved the special effects that this movie had. It is a great story though and it is a true story, I guess that is what makes it so interesting. It is a story of a fishing crew who is at sea fishing when three storms collide to create the "perfect storm". It is not a happy story either, all the men die. It is well worth watching though. I did not think I was going to like this at all but I was really thrilled and entertained. The storyline is strong and the acting is very powerful. Full marks all round for a very high quality movie with believable characters, ( based upon a real life story). The photography is just superb and George Clooney is gr8!e. An outstanding movie - buy it from us now!
Proof of Life

I was looking forward to this movie because of Russel Crowe but it was not what I expected. This movie is very predictable from the moment Meg Ryan and Crowe meet you just know they are gonna fall for each oeach other. Not a bad movie but no good either This movie was boring to start off with but got better a bit later,The whole affair thing was predictable with Meg And army dude--but the end was good with the action scenes,They dont end up cheating on the kidnapped hubby but they do in real life, when Meg Ryan left her husband randy Qaid and hooked up with Crowe but they shorly after broke up.

This one's for you if you're into stupidity. There was nothing funny about it. Ok, perhaps one or two scenes were funny. This DID NOT have me rolling in my seat begging for more. A good movie for teenage boys, not to insult teenage boys by any means. Definitely not for an intelligent adult. Did not see
Scary Movie

If you have seen the previews to this movie, you have seen all the good parts. Its not worth seeing the rest. They could have done a much better job if they stuck to making fun of Scream, Matrix and all of that. The sexual humor was just simply discusting. Maybe my problem was that it was male nudity. This is definitely a film aimed at teens.It was fairly funny in places, but don't expect anything too much. One to watch with friends when your bored.
SCREAM III

If You're a fan on horror you will like this one..I don't really remember what happened in this movie because I was dead tired A bunch of teens are getting chopped up and the plot keeps you guessing at who is the killer. This is a good horror shocker and I reccomend it for a good fright!

Did Not See This movie is about some college dude who sells ice cream but then gets his big break when he is invited to join this secret society called the SKULLS, when you are a SKULL member you get cool cars,hot models and what not. In real life I heard that George W. Bush and his dad are both "Skulls"

As soon as you think it's over, the villain is back. The villain is defeated - NO, IT'S BACK! It's gone - NO, IT'S BACK! It's gone - NO, IT'S BACK! It's gone - NO, IT'S BACK! It's gone - NO, IT'S BACK! It's gone - NO, IT'S BACK! (This actually happens more times than I'm typing right now. It gets a little tiresome, but other than that, this is filled with a lot of fun scares.I liked it

THE TRAILER GIVES AWAY THE WHOLE MOVIE,THE ONLY THING IT DOESNT GIVE AWAY IS FREE POPCORN AND A COKE-LOL THIS MOVIE IS SO PREDICTABLE AND REPEATED. HARRISON FORD IS NOT BELIEVABLE AS THE BAD GUY ,COME TO THINK OF IT I DONT THINK HE HAS EVER PLAYED A BAD GUY.THIS MOVIE DID HAVE SOME SCARY PARTS IN IT LIKE WHEN MICHELLE WALKS SLOWLY TO THE BATHTUB IN HITCHCOCK CLASSIC STYLE ALSO WHEN HARRISON TRIES TO TAKE OFF HER NECKLACE AND HITS HIS HEAD ON THE SINK.BUT OTHER THEN THAT THE REST OF THE MOVIE IS JUST A WASTE OF $8.50. WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT ON VIDEO
6th Sense

Buy Video

This movie was much better then I thought it would be. It is a Horror movie, but it takes a different approach of trying to scare you. You don't see much dead people but every time you do, its scary. There is one part in this movie that scarred the hell out of me. I can't find any bad reviews for this movie, so you should go see it, and if you don't get scarred you won't be mad cause the movie hold's your attention and is funny on some parts. The movie is about a kid who sees dead people, Bruce Willis helps the kid with his problem, meanwhile Bruce's marriage if falling apart and he's plagued by a failed case he worked on with a kid years ago The 6th Sense is a must see. I have not seen such a good movie ending for years! Bruce Willis and that little kid are amazing-- There is no way you can predict the end unless you have read it in the reviews. Ofcourse, I won't tell you the end. You have to experience this yourself.So Buy This movie from us now!
