Jessica Simpson Reality Tour



DUMP

Even if you are fans of Newlywed and Jessica Simpson, you will hate this concert. I don't know what it is, but Jessica Simpson's songs really suck. They are so boring. She has a great voice but maybe just one song sound decent. That is ridicoulous. Whoever wrote her music got to quit the business. If she is writing them, goddamit, please pay for a music writer.

Mona Lisa Smile



RENT
At times, the movie is very dull because there is too much talking. Blah, blah, blah. However, it gave a good representation of the 1950s and that was interesting. Times has changed so much. Today's women married later and some don't even married at all. That was unacceptable behavior in 1953. If you are not watching it for the era, you still might enjoy watching Julia Stiles, Kirsten Dunst, and Julia Roberts.

Easy



DUMP
A low budget movie with an lead actress who's not afraid to take off her clothes. Mostly, very boring scenes of relationships gone bad. The lead is high spirited and sexy but that is not enough to keep the movie together.

This gives me doubts about movies that are not well known but have won this award and that award. In the end, movies that nobody watches are only made for a few that can appreciate it.

DEBS



RENT
A stupid teen movie turns out to be pretty funny. Some of the things that the girls do are so stupid that makes you laugh. What twisted world can you see a lesbian criminal mastermind chase after a girl who is the lead of the US spy unit?

About Schmidt



RENT
Jack Nicholson gives a terrific performance on his view of retirement. At times, he does get boring but if you want to see how life is at 60, this one is for you.

Jack has it rough. He has lost a lifelong job, lost his beloved wife of 42 years, and has no purpose in life. In the end, he realized more than expected.

Cellular



RENT
Can you believe that they can make another movie similar to PhoneBooth? The whole movie you see Kim Basinger talking on a broken phone to a guy on a cellphone. How ridiculous is that? Some cast members you might recognize is the man in Transporter and the man in The Cooler.

Some suspense, but I wouldn't want to watch it again.

Coyote Ugly



BUY
Lots of hot girls dancing on the bar with a lead actress who is personally progressing in her life. The movie is fast and a go getter. It will definitely raise your mood on a boring Friday night. Definitely would have wanted to see more of Tyra Banks who seems to be the only girl who knew how to dance.

Elvis Has Left the Building



DUMP
What is the point of this movie? From beginning to end, I had no idea. All I know is that there are Elvis impersonators dying left and right. How did Kim Basinger get involved in such a flop? I can see Elvis rolling and turning in his grave. "Why the hell you have to use me as an icon in this totally sucky movie?"

This movie reminds me that I need to watch the trailers first.

The Man in the Iron Mask



BUY
The Muskateers are still marvelous ever time you see them. They are glorious to watch in combat and are great upholders of justice. Leo plays two characters and does it rather well. If you like medieval times, this one is for you.

Kung Fu Mahjoong



RENT
This is a dumb spoof of the movie, Kung Fu Hustle. It tries too much to be funny that it becomes stupid. It's about gambling and how a group of old timers team up to beat the bad guy of gambling. There are some laughs but don't expect anything great. If you have some time to kill, this one will just do.

Simple Life 2



RENT
This is more interesting than the first one because they visit different families. There are more adventures and they always get into trouble. After watching Paris and Nicole for a long time, you will realize that Paris doesn't really have a personality. She just looks pretty and isn't very funny. Nicole is the one that always stirs up trouble and makes everyone laughs. Paris is just the accomplise laughing in the back.

Simple Life



RENT
Paris and Nicole are entertaining to watch as they do the dumbest things. It does get boring after episodes and episodes because they stay at the same farm. I couldn't believe they had to interact with the same country people for all those scenes. That's hot can only go so far.

Be Cool



BUY
John Travolta was perfect. He was slick and cool like a cat. When you see him in movies, you know there's going to be some smooth moves. With him, there's a bunch of famous celebrities such as Celtric the Entertainer, Aerosmith, Vince Vaughn, The Rock, and Uma Thurman.

Even though the plot wasn't the best, it was fun to watch the characters mingle together and play music business.

Rescue Me:Season 1



BUY

Dennis Leary is a great actor. He was incredibility realistic as a fireman who suffered from 9/11. Raunchy at times but that's what makes it good. It is honest and straight to the point. It keeps you in suspense and you always wonder what will happen with the firefighters. There is always something new coming up.

I'm waiting for Season 2.
