The Godfather (1972)
A tasteless piece of trash
19 February 2001
Wow! Let me say right off the bat that watching "The Godfather" is a hideous waste of time. After sitting through three laborious hours of terrible dialogue, pointless plot twists, and senseless violence I was thoroughly sickened. Al Pacino and Marlon Brando team up in what is surely one the most mindless, long winded, and utterly tiresome films of the century. Here's a tip: rent this film if you are big on self-torture. Or do yourself a favor and check out "Mulholland Falls" if you are into gangster films.

A hilarious thrill-ride!
27 January 2001
I was apprehensive when my great-aunt first suggested that we rent "I Love Trouble" since romantic comedies normally aren't "my thing". Well, to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the film would be a drastic understatement! Aside from his classic performance in "Mulholland Falls, this is undoubtedly Nick Nolte's finest cinematic moment! Although I'm 33 years old and happily employed as an insurance salesman, I seriously considered switching careers after watching Nick Nolte play Peter Brackett, a suave, saucy, yet down-to-earth newspaper journalist. Julia Roberts is also fantastic, especially since she has not played in many movies of this type before. Despite the movie's adult subject matter and brief yet shocking sexual content, it is by far the best film I have ever watched. Though comparable to "Mr. Baseball" in many ways, its powerful script and excellent direction make it an even better film. My advice: rent this movie in the next 57.3 minutes - you will not be disappointed. A deeply touching yet humorous masterpiece! 10/10

Two If by Sea (1996)
Brilliant!
20 January 2001
Let me say right off the bat that "Two If By Sea" is by far one of the best comedies ever written. Backed by a killer screenplay and stunning cinematography, Sandra Bullock and Dennis Leary do a fantastic job - their superb on-screen chemistry left me in stitches. Normally, I am quite critical of romantic comedies, but "Two If By Sea" left me breathless.

A cinematic masterpiece in all respects!
