| Save the Last Dance (Pretty Darn Good!) This movie had really good qualities. the characters were down-to-earth, real, and fun! Its basically a modern-day "Flashdance" set in NYC's ghetto. It made me want to get up and learn some hip-hop moves! I was really impressed with Julia Stiles, though. I heard she used to actually be a ballet dancer, and she certainly showed that in this movie. I watched this one three times, so it is really a keeper! |

| Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (It is ok.) This movie lacked sincerity. The fighting didnt seem real. It had a good story line, and the actors were okay, but it is slow at first. Very slow. There is a scene in the movie where this little tiny princess is beating up about 100 professional BIG fighters (all male) that was worth going to see. |

| Unbreakable (Pretty Darn Good!) This is a modern-day superhero, coming-of-age type movie, I think. It is also a "Pay-attention-or-you'll-miss-something" movie.It makes the idea of a modern-day super-hero seem possible, and has a suprize ending, to boot. I really enjoyed this movie, but I honestly had to watch it twice. (The first time, the kids were awake, and I got lost.) Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson do a great job of bringing these characters to life, but Robin Wright Penn's performance was pretty depressing. |
| Tomb Raider (WooooooHooooooo!!) I read some magazine reviews for this before I went to the theater. With that info, I didn't expect the greatest performance from anyone in the movie. WHOOSH!! Was I blown away! Angelina Jolie's character made me want to go beat the mess out of some bad guys and run off to Cambodia to find a temple to rob!! This movie was fun and exciting! Although the other actors were virtually unknowns, this movie was still a good one! It combined humor, action, and even a little bit of romance. |
| Unbreakable ~sent in by Kat This movie was not at all what I expected. A little on the strange side, this movie will make you want to keep your kids away from comic books. The camera angles, and general story line were a little confusing. The ending was suprising though. I would rent this one if there is nothing else in the video store that you havent already seen. |
| Castaway~sent in by Kat I am a big fan of Tom Hanks, and this movie didn't let me down. It had a great story line, and cute humor. A touching love story that left my husband with tears, leaves you to wonder "what if?". I would recommend this movie to anyone! |
