thi is a low budget film.but i found it to me funny plus it is filmed in miami, which in my books is a plus. it is a typical storyline, guy is going out with three different women and one day they all meet each other and get together to take revenge on the guy. all the actors are known latin actors. but the movie is entertaining. like a friend of mine once said, it is like candy for the eyes.

Beautiful Girls
what a great movie. i am not sure who recommended me this to watch it, but i love it. it is what st. elmo's fire did in the 1980's, is what beautiful gilrs did in the 90's. and how funny it is that ally sheedy works in both films. the storyline is a group of friends get together in 1996 to go to their 10th yr high school reunion (which is funny to me because my 10th yr high school reunion was in 1996), and it is the turmoil how some of them are married, some still playing the field and some just dont want to leae their high school dazes because it was the best ones they ever had. the cast is great. a lot of well known actors, younger. THIS IS A MUST SEE. a bit of a chick flick but great anyways.

i loved this movie. it is a spike lee production, so if you dont like the way he does films, this movie is not for you. but i love it. i also like the fact that as adam sandler does, spike lee also hired his friends actors to start in the film.

Nada+ (2002,  Unrated)
Nada+
i love this movie. it is a foreign film. made in spain, filmed in cuba. it has english substitles but i honestly dont think you will not really appreciate it unless you at least understand spanish. the film is made incredibly well , it is black and white with a hint of color is either an object, a place, a person. the story is based and has humor in it. it is about a girl who parents are trying to get her a visa to come to the u.s. bewhile, she is stuck in havana working for the post office. she gets bored with her job so one day she accidently slips coffee on a letter, and decides to take the envelope home to dry it and try to clean the letter. she decides that the letter is not exactly as created as it should be, so she decides to rewrite the letter. this starts an obsessions with rewriting letters, but at the post office where she works they get a new surpervisor who is out to get her. she then befriends the post office courier to help her in her mission. the turning point is when her visa comes through and she has to choose between the love she has developed with the courier and stay in cuba or leave and reunited with her family in the u,.s.

65

Malicious
if you enjoy movies like the swimfan, crush. you will enjoy this movie. it is about the same concept. there is a jock who girlfriend wont put out, so while she is away one weekend, his paths crosses with molly ringwald character. molly ringwald plays an awesome villian, totally evil. a slight r rating for slight nudity, so please no kiddies around. but overall it is entertaining.
66
Gracie (2007,  PG-13)
Gracie
excellent, excellent, excellent movie. written by andrew and elisabeth shue is it a story that hits close to real family of the shue family before they became actors and followed a different path,. in fact the movie is dedicated to one of their brothers william shue who was a professional soccer player. the movie storyline is pretty simply. it is a story of a girl who grows up in a housewhole full of brothers and everyone plays soccer. but when her older brother tragically dies, she states to the family that she wants to play soccer and since her high school does not have a women soccer team she wants to play with the guys. of course not everyone is in favor of this happening including her father, but through the development of the movie, most change their minds. the movie is based around the late 1970's. this you see in the clothing worn, the cars driven and music played. it is a great movie and can be watching both by adults and teenagers.
67
A Mighty Heart (2007,  R)
A Mighty Heart
excellent, excellent, excellent movie. angelina jolie did a great job protraiting marianne pearl. the movie is very well written and acted. a lot of talk, so you need to pay attention. very dry and to the point. i really did not see oscar performance from jolie but it was still great to see her in a dramatic role. she is very versal and does well in whatever character she is performing. the storyline is based on the true story of daniel pearl who was kidnapped and killed in pakistan, while being a journalist and trying to show both sides of the stories in that country. i hightly recommended this movie.
68
Basic Instinct 2 (2006,  R)
Basic Instinct 2
ok people. this was not the greatest movie in the world but it was not as bad as the critics said it was. ok so the second time around, starts sort of the first way as the first one. catherine tramell and her lover for the moment are doing nasty things while she is driving, they go off the bridge and instead of her helping the guy, she only saves herself. then the movie starts, the movie reflexs a bit on the original, but there is no girl on girl action, the ice pick only comes out once, there are no insinuating scenes in the police department, it is much tamer than the first one. in fact that is why probably the criticts did not like it. it is more of a movie, than the first one. while the first one messed up with fantasies and brains, this one just messes up with your brain. but i think it was worth the viewing. i do recommended it but please no kiddies in the room, the movie is still based on r rating.
69
Sin noticias de Dios (Don't Tempt Me) (2003,  R)

70
Georgia Rule (2007,  R)
Georgia Rule
gary marshall directed the movie, and it has a great cast/ it is a check flick but it is a drama with all its whistles. the movie is intitled GEORGIA RULES because Jane Fonda character is georgia and in her house she rules. the movie deals with very serious manners but it is heartwarming at a few scenes. i did enjoy watching it.
71
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007,  PG-13)
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
omg, what a movie. ok , prepare yourself it is past 2 hours long, but it is so worth it. cate blanchett again out preforms queen elizabeth. she made it so truly belivable. the scenes are breathtaking, the customs are devine, the acting is su-pre, there is not one boring scene in the whole film, the spaniards are protrayed for as ugly and ruthless as they were back then. this is worth to be seen in the movie theater and once it comes out on dvd i will be adding it to the collection. this is a must see regardless on what your views are.
72
Little Black Book (2004,  PG-13)
Little Black Book
what a movie. what an amazing movie. first of all the director must had a thing for the movie WORKING GIRL with melanie griifin because the movie is quoted all over this movie and the main song is played over and over again. also the director must have something for carly simon because besides the fact that all her songs are in the movie she also makes a cameo role at the end. the movie is awesome. it is a about a girl (brittany murphy) who goes to work at a local talk show , something like jerry springer, but in the movie the talk show host is kathy bates. and holly hunter plays the producer that hires murphy as her assistant. when looking for new material, they come across murphy' boyfriend little balck book and murphy decides to investigate his past relationships to see if she really is with the right guy. big, huge mistake, wehile she starts to untwist the live of her boyfriend, she ends up changing the lives of his ex and hers. the ending is a bit surprising. this movie made me laugh, cry, be angry . overall it is an excellent comedy romance and it is worth seeing and owning. it is a chick flick but then again i am a woman so why would i not love it.
73
Shining Through (1992,  R)
Shining Through
what an amazing movie. it is a bit old, both michael douglas and melanie griffin were young actors, but what a movie. it is a thriller drama with a twisted of romance. it is about the man who hires a secretary to work with him during world war 2 in getting translating german documents. when the stakes get high and undercover is needed the secretary volunteers to going under germany to get the information regarding their plans on attack for the united states. the movie is great. kept me focused until the end.
74
Girl 27 (2007,  Unrated)
Girl 27
what an amazing documentary. david stenn is a very determine young mman who besides being a great screen writer is also a determine man to come out and find the real girl 27 and relate with now-a-days lawyers and see what would had happen if the case was tired today. it is amazing how such a large movie corporation like MGM was able to coverup a rape of a dancer in 193 and was able to buy out everyone involved including the girl's family. it is uplifting and sad documentary but very realitizist. aq must see especially if you love true life documentaries.
75
Crush (2002,  R)

this movie looks like it was made for the lifetime channel. and to tell you the truth i am not sure why the lifetime channel would not play this movie. the storyline and actors play it very well. the story is basic: what happens when your only daughter starts high school and realized that she does not like boys the same way as other girls do but she is attracted to girls instead. this is an excellent movie to watch with your teenagers as long as you have an open minded and have not been stereotyped by society.

what an excellent movie this turned out to be. lately i really have not liked what jodie foster has been starring in, i am glad this movie changed my mind about her again. the movie has action, drama, romance, volence, and a sort of morbit happy ending. i dont want to say much because i rather you watch the movie. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saving Sarah Cain
excellent movie which probably has been told a million times before, as in RAISING HELEN to stated one pretty recently. sarah sister dies and she has to take care of her 3 nieces and 2 nephews that come from an amish town and had to go to live in chicago. there is a change of society, life and the ending is very sweet.

Sex and the City (2008,  R)
Sex and the City
yes i went on friday and stood in line with my girlfriends for an hour and half waiting for this movie to start. and the showing we went to at 9:40pm, there were maybe 7 guys in the theatre. but here is the kicker. i have never watched the show on hbo nor on tbs. i had heard about it in bits and pieces but never got hook on it like others. so going in with an extremely open mind, i was surprising in that the movies first of all is long. 2 hours 15 minutes. and it involves the lives of these four friends. women who are very different but pals for a long time and throughout the movie this is tested time and time again. the fashion is outragesses, but the actors and screenplay was very nicely done. for what i hear the show was just as explitched and the movie was. yes it is a chick flick, 1000%, but there are scenes in the movie which are very equal to both genders. this movie will make you cry, laugh, get angry and rejoice what friendships are really all about. i can not wait now to start renting the seasons from netflix. the cool thing about the movie, it ended giving way to other sequels. I TRULY RECOMMENDED THIS FILM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008,  PG-13)
The Other Boleyn Girl
excellent movie, and even though it is suppose to be fiction to a certain point, there is some truth at the very end of the movie. the movie is very well acted, has an excellent cast, the customes and scenery is to die for and the plot itself is very twisted. i highly recommended this movie.

Penelope (2006,  PG)
Penelope
this was such a cute cute story. it is very entertaining and should be watched by the whole family. the storyline is christina ricci PENELOPE is born with a cursed that had been pasted on her family for the past 150 yrs. since she was the only baby girl born from the family, it made her face look a bit different. but what she does not realize is that the idea that will break the curse is not what she thinks it is. but once the curse is problems other problems come out also. it is very well written. i highly recommended this movie.

Rosario Tijeras (2005,  R)
Rosario Tijeras
here is another movie recommended to me by cinevolver. this is an excellent foreign film. it is colombian, so it is spanish with english substitles. there are a few aspects why this movie is such a good production. first the scenes. it really captures the sights of medellin, colombia. all the beauty and depression of this city of colombia. the scenes of the sunrises and sunsets are amazing. then there are the actors, this movie is very adult drama. there are a few very expiflict scenes that children should not be in the room for. the actors do a really good job in the storyline. it is a twisted between basic instinct and blow. just to give you an idea. the beginning of the movie is the end of the movie. you can see why this movie won so many awards. there is not much in the film that is not worth watching. i highly recommended this film also.

Nights in Rodanthe (2008,  PG-13)
Nights in Rodanthe
ok, i must admit when this film came out in the movie theater i was like , another chick flick. who can i get to go with me to see it. it really did not make too much of a difference. last night i finally got to see the movie on dvd and i was very surprise on how good the movie actually is. richard gere and diane lane still light up the screen when they are in a movie. it is like time has stood still with these two actors. the movie is very well written (same author who wrote the notebook), and even though the movies or stories are not the same in any shape or form, it is a great movie. take out the bos of tissue. i highly recommended.
