GOOD TO HAVE PAUL NEWMAN BACK AGAIN
20 April 2000
This is no "STING" but it is an entertaining Paul Newman film. We are Paul Newman fans from way back and enjoy seeing him in virtually anything. This was an enjoyable romp and we certainly recommend it to any movie goer.

FINE WAR MOVIE, VERY REALISTIC, AND VERY WELL DONE
19 April 2000
I had seen the coming attractions for this film a few weeks ago, and decided I had to see it. I was not disappointed in the least. It made you feel that you were part of the crew, and that you were living the adventure. I cannot recommend it too highly, go see it, it will keep you on the edge of your seat.

AN ENJOYABLE STORY AND GREAT ACTING
8 April 2000
I enjoyed the movie very much. Although Michael Caine won an Acadamy Award for his role, my personal opinion was that Toby Mc Guire was the real star of this picture. This is the second movie I have seen him in and he is an actor to be watched>

WHAT A PLEASANT AND REFRESHING SURPRISE!!!!
18 February 2000
Went to see this film at a local preview, not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it very much, and I thought the story and the acting were excellent. There were no outstanding actors in this, but all of them did a very good job. It also shows how you can be swayed over the phone. Beware!!!

ONE MEG RYAN TO MANY!!!!
18 February 2000
I have enjoyed Meg Ryan in most all her previous movies, but this one was not up to par. It was entertaining for a short while with Walter Matthau's quipes at the nursing home, but the story dragged as it went along. I think the acting was adequate but the picture d r a g g e d on far to long, and got weaker as it went.

GOOD PICTURE - BUT
6 January 2000
This was a very entertaining picture with wonderful acting by Van Sydow, but the constant flashbacks were annoying. The scenery was beautiful but the picture had a tendency to drag at times. As far as Hawke goes I think anyone could have played the part as well. My wife loved it, and I think despite the topic it was a woman's kind of picture.

I WALKED OUT AFTER ONE HOUR
5 January 2000
What a waste of talent in this trashy movie. It was to run 3 hours and 9 minutes, but after just on hour I had it and left. I was one of the long staying ones as many people walked out after 15 or twenty minutes. I have never seen a response to a movie like this, where people just WALKED OUT. Save your money on this one, DO NOT ENTER!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW
16 December 1999
An amazing story with many twists and turns. Matt Damon gives a great performance but was very impressed with Jude Law. I think he is going to be a big big name in the not to distant future. The whole cast did an outstanding job, but the only thing I found was the picture was a bit too long. Outstanding in all respects. Be sure and go see it!!!!!

just superb
8 December 1999
I am not a Stephen King fan but this movie is superb. The acting is Oscar quality from the star down to the little mouse who is so important to the plot. We need more quality movies like this one. Hollywood you can do it!

The Insider (1999)
GREAT STORY, GREAT ACTING, BUT MUCH TOO LONG!!!!
4 November 1999
The acting in this movie is great, and Pacino as always is a class acting job. Crowe is fine, as well as the rest of the cast. As with a great many movies showing now it was just too long. The camera work got annoying and the music was terrible. If you want to rehash the tobacco suits all over again go see it, if not my recommendation would be to skip it.

ENJOYABLE, BUT NOT UP TO HARRISON FORDS STANDARDS
10 October 1999
Went to see this movie with great anticipation, as I like most everything that Harrison Ford does. The story was a good one, but the side plots got in the way of a smooth flowing story. The acting was very good, and overall I enjoyed it, but as with most movies that come out today, it was slow moving at times, and the over two hours was a bit long.

STAY HOME AND SAVE YOUR MONEY
6 October 1999
I went to see this movie with an open mind. I like a good laugh as well as the next person, but this movie was just plain silly. I always enjoyed Saturday Night Live but this was more than I could take and I left the theater after just 45minutes. A waste of a good evening.

DON'T CARE WHAT THE CRITICS SAY, IT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING
28 September 1999
If you listen to the critics who knows where we would be. I

ignored the comments that this was another Fugitive only a female version, but found the movie fast paced and well acted by Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd, as well as the whole cast. I liked the story line and it was exciting and the time just flew by. Go see it you will enjoy it!!!!

Well done but entirely too long.
27 September 1999
The picture was well done and overall well acted, but it was so dark and dreary. I thought several times that is was going to end, but to my dismay it just went on and on. I do not know what the directors or writers have in mind when they plan these films, but I guess with the cost of a ticket they want to give you a lot of time in the theater.

OUTSTANDING BLACK COMEDY OF THE YEAR - ACADEMY AWARD FOOD
23 September 1999
The acting in this movie was just excellent, and especially the two principals, Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening. It was one

of the fastest two hours I have spent in the theater in a long

while. I think that men will enjoy this more than women will,

but overall a joy to behold. Mr. Spacey gets better and better with each and every new picture he come out in. Keep up the

good work.

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND WAIT FOR IT ON TV!
23 September 1999
Fortunately I had a preview pass to see this movie, and since if I had paid for seeing it, I would want my money back. The whole movie was like a 3 ring circus and although the principals were done well I found it boring with silly, weak humor.

A nice movie, but drawn out toooooooo long.
15 September 1999
This is a nice little movie, which I enjoyed very much. Kevin's acting is fine and so is Kelly's. Made you feel that you were there at Yankee Stadium and side by side with Kevin. The one fault I found with the movie was that they tried to stretch out the plot and after 2 hours it began to be tedious.

The Muse (1999)
8/10
A FAST MOVING HOUR AND 3/4 AND REALLY ENJOYABLE.
9 September 1999
Albert Brooks has hit his stride with this funny movie. Was looking forward to his last movie with Debbie Reynolds, but was sadly disappointed. This is more of the Albert Brooks I know and enjoy seeing. The casting was excellent and I wish that I had a muse like Ms. Stone. Go see it, and you will enjoy a light hearted movie with no real MESSAGE.

WILL NOT WIN ANY ACADEMY AWARDS BUT DELIGHTFUL PICTURE
9 September 1999
No big awards for this one but if you want to forget your troubles for a few hours go see this delightful, funny movie. Go in the afternoon and get the lower price ticket. It is not a BIG picture but worth the price of admission.

Fast Moving Flick
14 August 1999
Enjoyable movie which was very well acted by the two female stars of the film. A familiar smuggling story, but fast paced and an enjoyable film overall. Worth the time to go see it at your local movie house.

WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE
30 July 1999
It was a pleasure to see Bruce Willis in something other than a shoot em up, blow em up performance. I think he did an outstanding job in this film that keeps you in suspense. Haley Joel Osment was excellent and I think this young man has big future in movies. Go see it, you will be on the edge of you seat for two hours.

Delightful Romp
28 July 1999
Spent a lighthearted just short two hours with a charming Julia and Richard. The rest of the cast was delightful, and Gary Marshall continues to entertain. It stretched thin at times, but overall was enjoyable. I do not think it was a good as was Pretty Woman.

Fast paced adventure story
23 July 1999
Usually re-makes are never as good as the original, but not in this case. The nearly two hours flew by, and totally enjoyed the movie.Pierce and Rene are excellent in their roles. Go see it and you will really enjoy.

Ho Hum
16 July 1999
After sitting through this "HORROR" film I have decided that this film was pre-planned and used actors and not 3 young photographers as we are led to believe. After a half hour it became boring and tedious. If this is considered a horror film the producers should go back to the hey days of films to find out what a GOOD HORROR FILM SHOULD BE LIKE.
