Dawson's Creek A
show with a lot of intelligence and not just another teenage drama.
The storylines are interesting, characters are endearing, and the
dialogue is witty--the actors and actresses don't look bad either.
First season Dawson likes Jen then he realizes he loves Joey, the
girl next door who's loved him since the beginning of time. Second
season Dawson and Joey together then they break up because she's in
love with Jack who turns out to be gay. Third season, Dawson and
Joey remain friends but then she falls in love with Pacey, Dawson's
best friend, and goes away with him for the summer to go sailing
down the coast. Fourth season, Joey and Pacey are still together,
Pacey's sister Gretchen returns to Capeside as a break from college,
Dawson becomes friends with Pacey and Joey again, Dawson and
Gretchen fall in love, Joey loses her virginity to Pacey. What's
next?
Felicity Not as unique as DC but almost
as entertaining. Girl is in love with boy in high school then goes
to college in New York to follow him but falls in love with someone
else. Then breaks up with boyfriend to be with original love but has
a hard time maintaining a relationship so they break up...but
they're back together again. He goes back home for the summer to
work and she stays in New York to intern. Third season, Felicity and
Ben are still together but overcome a number of situations including
Ben's recovering alcoholic father, a roommate who's trying to break
up with a boyfriend who's a bad influence on her by getting her
hooked on drugs. What's next?
Friends If you
haven't heard it, where have you been? Hilarious comedy of 6 friends
who live in New York. This season, Monica is engaged to Chandler,
her brother's best friend from college.

My Best
Friend's Wedding Julianne and Michael have been best
friends since college. Then he tells her he's going to get married
and Julianne gets jealous. She has 3 days to break them up. Sports
and Romance...my favorite combination.
Notting
Hill Can you tell I'm a big Julia Roberts fan? In this
film, she's paired with Hugh Grant, who plays an Englishman who
falls in love with Julia's character, Anna, an American starlett. A
number things threaten their relationship. The soundtrack is
perfect...it's filled with a number of classics.
Sleepless in Seattle Meg Ryan falls in love
with someone she's never met after listening to the radio on
Christmas Eve--a boy talking about his father, a recent widower. She
becomes determined to meet him even though she's currently engaged
to be married. An absolute classic. A great soundtrack too.
X-MEN A great adaptation of the comic book of
the same name. Professor X runs a school of mutants, humans who have
special powers. They fight Magneto who wants Mutants to rule the
world who are treated as outcasts by normal humans.

Soundtracks
I love soundtracks. They are filled a mix of different types of
music. My favorites include Notting Hill, Sleepless in Seattle, My
Best Friend's Wedding, Dawson's Creek and The Commitments.

Miss
Saigon The story of a young Vietnamese woman and an
American soldier who meet during the Vietnam war. A tragic love
story set to beautiful lyrics and music. I was fortunate to catch a
show in Toronto.
Les
Miserables The literary classic, about an ex-convict who
rises from poverty during the French Revolution, set to music.
Powerful solos and harmonies. It was so great I had to watch it a
second time when the company came to San Francisco in 2000.
