Stepmom/My Best Friend's Wedding

MPAA Rating: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)

Double The Jules, Double The Fun
Julie Roberts does and excellent job acting for simply two great movies. If you want to laugh our loud with a smart and funny romance story you want to watch My Best Friends Wedding. Basically its about Julianne (Julie Roberts) trying ever dirty trick in and out of the book to stop her best friend of 9 years from marrying his newly met fiancial Kimmi (Camoran Diaz) because she suddenly realizes that she truely loves her best friend. Its loaded with a bunch of hilarious scenes that actually looks really natural and its enticing to find out what really happens because things always change to Julianne's plot working and failing and ending with a surprise twist end. Stepmom is a lot more serious since its drama and sadder but still a great movie with funny scenes and it deserved that oscar. Its about this stepmom (Julie) who as a younger person is more n'sync with the culture of the two stepkids she now has and is competing with their more naturally likeble real mom (Susan). Beyond fighting over kids the story gets more interesting with the stepmom having conflicts with taking care of her stepkids and her high-paying job while the real mom has cancer. And it all ends with sad yet heart-felt end. All and all both are great movies with great acting and smart plot that will make you want to watch it more than once and continously enjoying it when you do.

ONE OF THE BEST!
This movie rocks! It's kinda sad, but in my opinion, it's one of the best out there. Julia Roberts as Isabel, the new stepmother of 2 kids who obviously don't like her. She tries to get them to like her. Does it happen? Watch the movie!

Capturing this freedom fighter was their biggest mistake!
He was an idealistic American Gun-runner, captured and imprisoned by the vicious rulers of a battled-ravaged Latin American nation. Then he busted out and the real war began! Robert Ginty, of the Oscar-winning COMING HOME, is demolition expert J.F. Cooper. When his best friend (Cameron Mitchell) is brutally murdered delivering illegal arms to central America freedom fighters, Cooper vows revenge. Trapped and jailed by the ruthless government junta, he stages a spectacular break-out and joins the guerilla's cause. Then, aided by a beautiful young revolutionary (Olivia D'Abo of Conan, The Destroyer), Cooper leads the freedom fighters in a fiery, all-out commando assault on the heavily fortified headquarters of the tyrannical government forces!

Two of Julia's Best Movies!

Sarandon's two children, do not like Roberts even though she tries hard to be friendly. Will she befriend the children? Will Sarandon and Roberts ever understand each other? Get this movie and find out!

In "My Best Friend's Wedding", Juila Roberts is best friends with Dermot Mulroney. When Mulroney tells Roberts he is engaged with Cameron Diaz and is getting married in 4 days, Roberts makes a plan to get her newly found love back! Will Roberts succed in her develish plan to steal Mulroney back? You will have to watch the video for yourself!

BETTER THAN OTHERS
WITHOUT MORE WORDS TO EXPLAIN THIS MOVIE YOU WILL BE WHEN BUY IT. INCOMPARABLE AND UNFORGETABLE WORK, FULL OF GOOD ACTORS AND SPECIAL EFFECTS. YOUR BEST CHOICE!!!

It should be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shrek 2 is the BEST!!!!!!!! I saw a the first 45 minutes or it and it rocked!!! It will come out in May. When it opens, go see it right away.

The Trailer...
...lets expect the best! Although sequels usuallaly can't compete with the first movie, this one will!
In Shrek 2, Fiona and Shrek are going on their honeymoon to a place called "Far, far away" to meet Fiona's parents. On their way, and finally at their destination, the young couple and Donkey are experiencing new, exciting adventurs which will be in no way less funny than in part 1!
The same, great way of humor! More splendidly defined characters and even better graphics and visual effects! And of course we will get to know how the marriage of the two green monster will work out :) I will definitely be in the premiere in may, and I'm sure Shrek 2 will be by far more successful than "Finding Nemo".


Duh-Lux Collector's Giftset (The Mask/Dumb & Dumber)
Released in VHS Tape by New Line Studios (02 October, 2001)
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Director: Chuck Russell
Starring: Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz
This double set of Jim Carrey movies includes The Mask and Dumb and Dumber. It would be easy to think of this one as a no-brainer--and that's probably only half right. Actually, The Mask is one of Carrey's more intriguing movies, a showcase of the latest (at that time) in computer-generated special effects, with Carrey playing a nebbish bank clerk who is transformed into a green-faced superhero with cartoon powers when he puts on a mystical mask. Dumb and Dumber teams Carrey with Jeff Daniels as two of the most intelligence-challenged human beings ever to walk erect, in the first film by the Farrelly brothers (who went on to direct Kingpin and There's Something About Mary). Dumb and Dumber is gross-out comedy taken to its extreme and played to the hilt by its stars. --Marshall Fine

Funiest film i've ever seen, Jim Carey at his best. Made me wet myself with laughter!


The Last Supper
Released in VHS Tape by Columbia/Tristar Studios (29 September, 1998)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Stacy Title
Starring: Cameron Diaz and Ron Eldard
Painted in mile-wide strokes of black satirical comedy, The Last Supper turns intolerance into a parlor trick, then repeats it ad nauseam in case we missed the joke. Still, redundancy can be fun when applied to the premeditated murder of right-wing extremists by self-righteous left-wing zealots; director Stacy Title is an equal-opportunity offender, never taking sides. The grisly high jinks commence when a truck-driving, child-molesting, Hitler-loving ex-Marine (Bill Paxton, acing the role) is accidentally killed while dining with a clutch of snobby liberal grad students, played with uniform excellence by Cameron Diaz (showing early promise), Ron Eldard, Courtney B. Vance, Annabeth Gish, and coproducer Jonathan Penner. Having acquired a taste for blood, the wine-poisoning liberals stage "last suppers" with hand-picked targets (Charles Durning, Mark Harmon, Jason Alexander, and ultimately Ron Perlman), eventually attracting a suspicious sheriff (fine work by SNL alumnus Nora Dunn). It's got all the subtlety of a pile-driver, but The Last Supper craftily defends free speech by exposing its most vicious violations. --Jeff Shannon

What if...
I'm thinking, "What if I didn't waste time watching this trash, disguised as entertainment?" Would I have done something more productive? I think, yes. Even if I spent the entire time banging my head against the wall for the whole time, it would have been a far better endeavor than watching this trash.

While ultimately this film tries to make you think about tolerating the opinion of the next person, it conducts its' lesson by creating conservative stereotypes as manifested by left-wingers. So if the roles had been reversed, liberals would be screaming about this film years later. But since the Hollywood community is controlled by left-wingers, you don't hear a peep out of anyone in that industry about the horrible personalities created by this film.

The sad thing is that the characters created in this film are really how Hollywood sees conservatives. Left-wingers actually create these people and truly believe that this is the way conservatives think and act. Of course, conservatives don't think and act as depicted in this film but left-wingers don't understand this point. This is the main reason why liberalism is a dying idealogy in the U.S. It's an idealogy that just doesn't get it. It creates enemies that don't exist and in fighting these imaginary enemies, their real opponents walk away the victor.

This might have been a good film if the "conservatives" in the film were real. That their opinions were those of real conservatives. But the problem would have been that the liberal characters would have been seen in a far worse light than just murderers; they would have been seen as irrational lunatics that can't see reason. And that's not what the director was trying to show. The idea was to show liberals as being well-intentioned yet mistaken in their methods.

If they had done the film correctly, conservatives would be invited to supper, they would have explained real-world thinking to the liberals, and the liberals would have killed the conservatives simply because they could not grasp what mainstream America already embraces as its' philosophy. But, again, this would have taken the film in too far of a supportive perspective of conservatives and that's certainly not acceptable to the producers of this poorly conceived tripe.

Funny and tragic.
What do you get when you mix a house full of self-righteous left-wingers with a lone red neck trucker? You get the film "Last Supper."

Although there are some acting and scripting flaws, this movie is great. It makes you laugh, then it makes you gasp in horror...and best of all: it makes you think.

This film left me thinking, "Do I really care that much about other peoples' opinions?" I walked away from this flick with a new philosophy and way of looking at people who think differently than I: In America, we all have the right to be wrong.

No matter what your political affiliation, you'll probably enjoy this film. Don't be too sensitive or you'll be offended. Just watch, think and then think some more.

Secrets in the sauce
This movie is about a group of grad students who go off the deep end with their political views. They end up inviting to dinner various people who have completely opposite political views. The dinners end up being a trail for the lives of their dinner guests and the deciding factor: how well they represent themselves and how much they are liked by their hosts (well not always). As the drama builds in this film the reason for a verdict in the hosts favor becomes more and more bizarre. Contributing factors: The living life between each other and the tension between themselves and the one person who upsets them the most, a television man completely opposite of every political value they have they watch him obsessivly even screaming at the television as if he could hear them. This is one of cameron diaz's first movies although unknown by many, w/ the suprise ending its one of the best movies I've ever seen.


Shrek
Released in Theatrical Release by (18 May, 2001)
MPAA Rating: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Directors: Andrew Adamson, Scott Marshall, and Vicky Jenson
Starring: Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy
William Steig's delightfully fractured fairy tale is the right stuff for this computer-animated adaptation full of verve and wit. Our title character (voiced by Mike Myers) is an agreeable enough ogre who wants to live his days in peace. When the diminutive Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) evicts local fairy-tale creatures (including the now-famous Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and the Gingerbread Man), they settle in the ogre's swamp and Shrek wants answers from Farquaad. A quest of sorts starts for Shrek and his new pal, a talking donkey (Eddie Murphy), where battles have to be won and a princess (Cameron Diaz) must be rescued from a dragon lair in a thrilling action sequence. The story is stronger than most animated fare, but it's the humor that makes Shrek a winner. The PG rating is stretched when Murphy and Myers hit their strides. The mild potty humor is fun enough for 10-year-olds but will never embarrass their parents. Shrek is never as warm and inspired as the Toy Story films, but the realistic computer animation and a rollicking soundtrack keep the entertainment in fine form. Produced by DreamWorks, the film also takes several delicious stabs at its crosstown rival, Disney. --Doug Thomas
Average review score:

A FANTASTIC FABLE THAT DELIVERS
The single most entertaining and successful film of the year "SHREK" (DreamWorks...), arrives on DVD in a double disc set that includes widescreen and full screen versions and bonus material skewed towards younger kids. The unusually sharp digital transfer is about as good as is technically possible and brings to life a beautiful world inhabited by all manner of questionable but mostly lovable characters. Mike Meyers' inspired voice work for the title ogre is dead on in every aspect and implies much more humanity than even the words he says. Eddie Murphy is consistently in the zone as the up-beat, bluntly honest wise guy Donkey. Cameron Diaz and John Lithgow bring the princess and the vertically challenged king to life. But the most interesting thing that looms over this hugely successful film is the personal war between Disney's Michael Eisner and DreamWorks' "Shrek" producer Jeffrey Katzenberg. The rivalry and bitterness between the two former Disney associates has resulted in several extraordinary animated products that are probably much better than they might have been. Let's hope they keep competing on a personal level because "Shrek" is just about perfect. Of all the bonus material, making of stuff and commentaries, the thing that's most lacking is something, anything, from the two brilliant writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio. It's the best screenplay of the year. By far. One to own.

This Movie is Great!
Have you ever read the book Shrek by William Steig? This fantastic movie is about his delightfully fractured fairy tale. This movie is the right stuff for this computer-animated adaptation full of verve and wit. Shrek, The Ogre (voiced by Mike Myers) is an agreeable enough ogre who wants to live his days in peace. But when the mean, and evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) evicts local fairy-tale creatures (including the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and the Gingerbread Man),from there own home, they settle in Shrek's swamp and Shrek wants answers from Farquaad. A quest of freedom starts for Shrek and his new buddy, a talking donkey, who was one of the creatures evicted ( voiced by Eddie Murphy), where battles have to be won and a princess(voiced by Cameron Diaz) must be rescued from a dragon lair. The story is stronger than most animated fare, but it's the humor that makes Shrek a winner. Shrek is never as warm and inspired as both Toy Story films, but the perfect realistic computer animation and an pretty good soundtrack (Smash Mouth, Baha Men) keep the entertainment in fine form. Know I know what you are thinking, "It has to be a famous Disney movie!" But it's not. It's is prouduced by DreamWorks, who does a spectacular job.

For kids AND adults!
Mike Meyers is the voice of Shrek: an ugly yet endearing ogre who is sent on daring quest with the help of his loudmouthed donkey friend (brilliantly named Donkey, voice by Eddie Murphy) to rescue the somewhat annoying and feisty princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) by the evil spirited Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow), who is too much of a chicken to do it himself. He promises Shrek the deed to his beloved swamp back in exchange for the Princess. But, this journey gives Shrek a lot more than he EVER bargained for: friends, introspection, and love!!!
I love this movie and I love that my kids love this movie! During the course of the movie it is revealed that there is a spell on Princess Fiona - during the day she is a beautiful princess - but as soon as the sun sets, she is turned into a very much less attractive ogre. She is mortified by this and tries to keep it a secret, but by the end of the movie she realizes that beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder, but it truly is what lies within. I love that the movie sends this message out to young girls -- with so many movies out there that tell girls that they have to be beautiful or change who they are to be accepted (i.e. Grease, The Princess Diaries, Ms. Congeniality, etc.)... I'm glad to see that there is a movie out there that lets girls know that it's okay to be who you are and to be proud!
I recommended this movie for everyone!
And the DVD-Rom has a really fun feature for kids that lets them dub their voices to the characters lines exactly! It keeps kids entertained for hours!
