Best Line from a movie EVER:
"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." - Harry (to Sally) in When Harry Met Sally

I like to read, especially the dictionary (heh) and horror (like Dean Koontz, Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft & Clive Barker)
I TRULY believe Jennifer Lopez should act, not sing AND Madonna should sing, not act (even though it's a guilty pleasure to watch Who's That Girl? & Swept Away - shhh!)
I also TRULY believe Sylvester Stallone should do more comedies (like Oscar) and Jim Carrey should do more dramas (like The Truman Show & Man on the Moon).
I also TRULY TRULY believe Jennifer Love Hewitt and Leonardo DiCaprio should just go away to a deserted island, Wes Anderson should make 15 movies a year, and we should get do-overs for Aaliyah, Selena and Raul Julia.

Reviews
Jeepers Creepers (2001)
(Spoilers)Refreshing to a true horror fan...
This film spawned a lame sequel (Which had an amazingly eerie opening scene in the cornfield! yikes!). but then went downhill from that once the bus load of moronic and extremely juvenile teenagers was introduced. Anyway, this first installment introduced us to the Creeper, who "Just Is"..I love that! No long drawn out history of a madman, that sort of thing. He's just here, he's hungry and you better watch your butts! Suspenseful in all the right places, a little slow in the middle, but seriously what movie isn't? And of course the climactic ending where the showdown takes place. I was soooooo glad to have the hero lose in the end...it's about freakin' time! That made it way more believable. In real life (suspend rational thought here), you and I would not stand half a chance, seriously. I'm so glad these average joes didn't either. It makes it easier for us to relate to the characters, thus making us really affected by the movie and what happens. I am so tired of the Hollywood endings. This movie was awesome. On a sequel note.....the Creeper is said to have always existed. Well as I stated earlier, I think they went the wrong direction with the lame sequel. They need to do some pre-quel sequels, ya know? Give us some more unknowing small town folks or go back farther in time and let's see how less "informed" people would deal with the Creeper. I dunno.....I am a fan of anything original, and frankly I was getting tired of the cookie cutter villains and the blueprint story lines, only the naked chicks and bad-guys masks have been changed, ya see what I'm saying? peace.
Cousin Bette (1998)
Lange Is Amazing!
So what if this movie reminds of dangerous liasons, or cruel intentions or any other film for that matter! Now-a-days, good luck being completely original, when we live in the era when the Wayans brothers are bringing t.v.s The Munsters to the big screen, Yikes! The hard fact of the matter is that Jessica Lange is AMAZING (as always) and Elizabeth Shue is a delight. I really enjoyed the "Oh what a tangled web we weave" plot line and you will too if you give it a chance. The story is well written, and the performances are effortless. I usually don't care for period pieces and truth be told, I had to be forced to turn this one on...but I WAS SO GLAD I DID. The supporting cast is a hoot as well.
Open Water (2003)
A HUGE Let Down!!! (spoilers)
Simply - 2 things. Number 1. This movie campaigned as a thriller, it could not have been more s..l..o..w paced. Sure, it shows the "real" side of people in such a desperate situation, but what a downer! Which brings me to Number 2. It says it is "based on true events"...What events? The couple in question DON'T SURVIVE! In real life, the only thing EVER found was their camera. The only event that we know 100 percent and for sure is that they were left behind. That's it folks! We have no idea what they were doing when they were diving, we have no idea what they did while they were at sea. And, we have NO idea how they died, or how long they were out drifting....So, how can they even assume? It just irritated me....and on a final note....they portrayed the couple as SO in love and especially the woman NEEDING the man soo much, yet she easily lets him go at the end? I was disheartened and confused by the poor and unexciting version of this story. The WHOLE thing was made up, so if you are gonna go that route, then why not make it exciting, eh? Bummer.
