She Spies (2002–2004)
V.I.P. Knock off
20 July 2002
The title says it all. For all of you who has watched Alias on ABC and were expecting something similar, I am sorry to say that you will be greatly disappointed. This show very much follows in the foot steps of V.I.P. It takes a tongue and cheek look at the girl power/sexy female spies tv series. It doesn't take itself seriously at all. In fact, the show takes a jab at itself every few scenes. So, as long as you don't take it too seriously, it could be some what entertaining in a mindless sort of way.

Glitter (2001)

Was that acting?
5 April 2002
Man..what to say? I am not quite sure. The quality of this movie was so poor, I stand unable to find the words to describe it. This movie is not even worth pirating off the internet. It's not worth 2 cents!!

A surprisingly good movie for one that's rated G
11 August 2001
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Given that the movie was rated G, I went into it with more than a little skepticism with regard to its quality. And yet, there was something about the trailer that spoke to me on a level that I cannot define. The movie was cute and sweet. The clear lack of violence and other R rated material was a refreshing break from this summer's other box office hits. Julie Andrews was magnificent as the queen. Why indeed, she was born to play a queen. Her grace, elegance and charm gave the movie a sense of excellence that could not have been achieved otherwise. Anne Hathaway, the talented 18 year old who plays Mia, walked the fine line between portraying the fairytale'ish princess and your everyday 16 year old teenager with exceptional skill. Her clumsy screw ups and other social gaffes were charming and endearing. And who could forget Hector Elizando? It is his acting that gives the movie the touch of humanity that so perfectly complements everything else in the film.

Indeed, this is a movie that everyone will enjoy. There is a part, within every one of us, that wants to be recognized, to be a princess (or a prince in the case of a guy). And it is precisely to that part of us that this movie speaks.
