I liked this movie! It was pretty cool. I mean really there wasn't much to the whole movie but a war. But it was pretty cool nonetheless. --Sarita

I liked it. I was a little disappointed that Antonio Banderas was kind of a wuss in this movie, but oh well. I would like to read the book to see how the story really was supposed to go because there seemed to be a few holes in the movie. Other comments about the movie would give away the ending, so I shall stop there. --Gnome

Set on New Year's Eve 1981. Shows how various people are ringing in the New Year and how they come together. Everyone that you think will end up with someone ends up with a totally different person at the end. Not that great a movie though. --Gnome

I watched this one on T.V. This is a GREAT movie. I actually ended up staying up to watch it. It is basically about terrorism and blowing up buildings. There are lots of twists and turns in this movie. The end will leave you in shock. You have to watch this one. --Sarita

Antonio Banderas and Sylvester Stallone star in this movie. Stallone is the veteran and Banderas is the slightly hyperactive new guy. Stallone wants to get out of the assassination business, but Antonio is looking to take out Stallone, so that he can be #1. Pretty action packed and Antonio Banderas was quite hot in this movie. --Gnome

Johnny Depp goes up in space and mission control loses contact with him for two minutes. In those two minutes, something weird happens to him that only his wife seems to be able to see. Very weird and the ending pissed me off about as much as "Fallen" did. --Gnome

Horrible movie. It took three fine actors (Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, Sean Connery) and made them seem cold and not into the movie (maybe they weren't, the story sucked so that very well may be). I was very bored throughout the movie. --Gnome

I recently saw an interview with George Clooney where after Jay Leno listed off all of the great things he had done the past five or so years, Clooney said, "It's not like I'm invincible. I did do Batman and Robin." Now I can see what he was talking about. The film was basically filled with a bunch of cheesy one-liners. I guess the actors did the best that they could with the script that they had, but, geez,that was pretty bad. --Gnome

A movie about a Scottish hairdresser that is mistakenly invited to the World Hairdressing Championships. Has some funny parts in it, but I've seen better. --Gnome

Your basic Chris Farley/David Spade movie. Chock full of physical humor. Not much of a story, but if you just want a silly movie this is the one you want. --Gnome

Great movie. An interesting take on the world of stock brokers. As politically incorrect as it is, I was quite amused by the trading of ethnic slurs between the Jewish and the Italian characters. Giovanni Ribisi did an okay job with his character, but sometimes his lack of facial expressions was a little weird. --Gnome

It is about some Irish Catholic brothers in Boston who decided to rid the world of evil people and start smiting left and right. It is GREAT, plus Sean Patrick Flannery is one of the brothers and OH MY GOD. With an Irish accent that man is the hottest thing I have ever seen. --Lellie

This movie is based on the Teena Brandon/Brandon Teena story. Very good movie and you can really tell that Hilary Swank deserved the Oscar for this movie. As far as the story goes, there were two things I wondered about. If her killers acted the way they did in the movie, I would think that she would see the warning signs and try not to be around them. Also, how the heck did Lana NOT know that Brandon was a girl. Oh well, still a movie worth seeing. --Gnome

It is a really good movie and Hilary Swank acted her ass off, but I don't think that I could ever watch it again... it made me far too angry. I was pissed at society in general and really disturbed by the rape scene. --Lellie

This one is old, but its got Audrey Hepburn in it. You probably all have seen it. Holly Golightly, her neighbors, a cat. Its sooo good. Rent it. --Lellie

The scenario-Nicholas Cage is a burnt out ambluence driver who is haunted by the people he didn't save. the plot-just his internal and external rantings as you follow him on several shifts of being an ambulence driver. This leaves you hoping that you never have to be taken anywhere in an ambulence. my take on it-I really liked this movie. I thought it was funny in a disturbing sort fo way. Like so many of us are :) Maybe I just laughed so hard because I was really tired when I saw it. It's the kind of thing that I laugh at and then feel bad because it's not the kind of thing that's supposed to be funny. Someone else see this and tell me what you think. I've never heard from anyone else who has seen this and I want to know if I'm the only one who finds it funny. --Naked

If you have seen Wallace and Gromit at all this was just as good. It even had a few little spoofs of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Star Trek. There were even a few gnomes!!! --Gnome

I agree with Morgan this movie was good. The clay work was pretty impressive. I wouldn't call this a children's movie at all--I think it is much more suited for adults. There are some great lines from it as well. The Gnomes definitely made me think of Morgan. --Sarita

An oldie, but a goodie. Nothing beats an 80's Tom Cruise movie. --Gnome

OMG, this movie was hilarious. I wish I knew people like this at UNL! Not that you guys aren't just as interesting, but the guy who thought Bill Gates was trying to take his brain was great! --Gnome

This Woody Allen film was rather funny. Although I find it hard to believe that beautiful young women could fall in love with such a putz, there are some very funny scenes. This movie is about a man who lives through the unfinished stories he writes that are loosely based on his life. Plus, it is complete with a trip to Hell. Where can you go wrong? --Gnome

I totally predicted the movie. There was a point in the movie when I thought, "This person (I won't tell you who it is) is either going to die very fast here, or save the day." And you know what? I was right! Not too gory, but there were a few spots where I jumped. Not a big surprise for any of you who have watched movies with me before. I was left wondering at the end why the heck they said the sharks were 25 feet long at the beginning and suddenly they were 45 feet long at the end. I know how big that is and these sharks were definitely not that long. AND, how could that large of a shark (either size) hide in roughly 4 feet of water??? --Gnome

This movie earned Sidney Poitier his first Best Actor nomination. He is chained to Tony Curtis during the better part of this movie. They wrestle with each other, the law, and racial issues. --Gnome

Blah, blah, blah, KISS, blah, blah. Pretty funny in a dumb way. This movie is about a group of high schoolers and their adventures in going to see KISS play in Detroit. Plus, Giuseppe Andrews is pretty cute is a scruffy sort of way. Eddie Furlong is also in this. How old is he anyway? Isn't he like 23 now or something? He still looks like a 15 year old in this movie. --Gnome

Although I can't quite fathom Keanu Reeves being a lawyer with a 64-0 case record and being intelligent enough to keep up these cases, the story line was pretty cool. Plus, Al Pacino was in it, so that kind of saved the movie. --Gnome

This movie has great special effects. Is pretty cute, the kind of thing you take kids too. Granted the audience was full of obnoxious little brats, which made me want to smack them. And some of their parents were worse . They were especially bad when the film broke but I didn't blame them quite so much at that point. The bad thing about this movie is that is basically The Land Before Time but not so cartoony. --Sarita

The fourth movie by Kevin Smith. A View Askew production. All about God and Christian mythology, so if you get offended by religious humor, don't watch it. Funny funny funny. --Lellie

Sort of a mother-daughter film in a freakish twisted way. Kathy Bates plays a woman who was accused of killing her husband, but it was ruled an accident. Twenty years later, she is accused of killing the woman she is taking care of. Her daughter comes home after 15 years to get things straightened out for her mother, even though there is a lot of bad blood between them. The movie focuses on the circumstances that brought about this bad blood. I liked the way flashbacks were weaved into the film. It really lets you know what was going on at the time. --Gnome

I don't know if you guys ever watched this cartoon while it was on Nickelodeon, but I sure did. in it, he finds he "Monster of Lucky Duck Lake" and is forced to choose between uncovering a story about pollution or going to the Valentine's Dance! The drama! :o) But seriously, it was a really cute movie to watch with kids. --Gnome

Quite a good movie. Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones kicked butt in this movie. Anyway, Ashley Judd gets put in prison for killing her husband. While in prison, she finds out that her husband isn't really dead. When she gets out on parole, she goes after him because you can't get convicted of killing the same person twice. Very cool movie. --Gnome

HILARIOUS! I swear I knew people like this back in high school. I'm sure that was what the aim of the story was. When asking my brother what I should say about this movie he said that it was funny and it reminded him of the ghetto. Not that he visited all that much or even knows any of us, but oh well. Sometimes a little predictable, but lots and lots of funny scenes. It's about a beauty pageant in a small town in Minnesota. I know that Ryan really likes this movie (at least I think I remember him saying that he did) and for once I agree with him. --Gnome

Bruce Lee's last movie before his untimely death. Really not much of a story, but the choreography in the fight scenes and some of the philosophical scenes were very interesting. --Gnome

Stupid movie. A lady goes to visit her grandmother in Ireland. A 10,000 year old witch comes back to life and terror ensues. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. --Gnome

Ewan MacGregor is some sort of P.I. in this movie. On one of his jobs he sees Ashley Judd kill someone. He proceeds to follow her everywhere and the whole time he is having hallucinations of his daughter who is ex-wife took away from him. Very weird movie and I didn't quite understand the end. --Gnome

You can definitely tell that this is a Stanley Kubrick film. A little confused and disappointed in it, but I guess I knew what it was going to be like before I watched it. If you really want to waste 2 1/2 hours go right ahead, but have someone else pay for the movie, so you don't waste your money. --Gnome

It was very good...hundreds of times better than I thought it would be. It makes me want to beat the crap out of someone, so don't make me mad :) I also thought the frame spliced in at the end was...rather interesting. So yes, good movie. See this and be delightfully disturbed. Joel likes this movie as much (or almost as much) as I do. We're going to make everyone we know watch it. or else we'll beat you up! :) --Naked

It's great. I won't explain it, but I read the book and the movie makes more sense if you've read the book, and the book makes more sense when you watch the movie. My advice is to do both... book first. --Lellie

Kevin forced us to watch this and it was really really good. I, of course, am always one for a little mental gymnastics with movies and this one did that quite well. I think it is right up there with quite a few other movies such as Usual Suspects. Although, I am not sure if it is quite that good. --Sarita

I've seen this movie before. I actually thought it was kind of silly the first time I saw it. The first time I saw it, I was wondering if I had actually picked up the right movie because it had been advertised as a vampire movie and they didn't show up until 2/3 of the movie was over. So why, three years later, do I watch it again, you may ask? Well, basically it was to see the kick-ass tattoo that George Clooney had in the movie. If I wanted to be a biker instead of teaching children when I get older (and if I had a higher pain tolerance), I would SO get a tattoo like that. Yes, I watched an entire movie to see a tattoo. --Gnome

Great movie! It was hilarious just to watch a bunch of out-of-work factory workers try to learn how to be strippers. Great acting by Robert Carlisle (he was in Trainspotting). --Gnome

This movie is cute and silly. It makes fun of trekies and alot of other stuff. In the end it sort of validates the whole obsession...well maybe not. BUt it does bring up an interesting point about what is real. I thought it was an okay movie. --Sarita

We follow Susanna Kasen, played by Winona Ryder, through her stay at Claymoore, a mental institution. The movie is set in the late sixties and also features Angelina Jolie, Whoopi, and Jared Leto (aka Jordan Catalano). The viewer sees how a group of mentally dysfunctional females cope with their surroundings and each other. Ryan and I watched it the other night, even though I had actually seen it in the theater. Its really good, go rent it. --Lellie

A must see movie for anyone in or associated with the ghetto just because of the title. But seriously, it's a silly old Disney film about a gnome who needs to find a wife or his grandpa gnome will fade away because he has lost hope. The Gnome-Mobile song gets really annoying after hearing it twice. --Gnome

The order of this movie is kind of a rip-off of Pulp Fiction, but like Pulp Fiction, you wonder what is happening with the various characters. The movie starts out centered around a small-time drug dealer/grocery store clerk who agrees to work a shift at the store because he is going to Las Vegas for the a night out with friends. From there it gets a bit complicated, but has some very funny parts. --Gnome

Not a very original story, predictable ending, but otherwise very good. Lots of cool cars. Good action flick. --Toad

Wow! I loved it! I bet I'm probably the last person to have seen this, but oh well. This movie is right up there with American Beauty and The Sixth Sense on my list of good movies. There were a lot of things in the book that weren't in the movie, but one little addition ("Heaven. I'm in heaven.") was already there that helped pull the entire movie together. --Gnome

VERY good movie, it made me very pissed at society though. Well, maybe not society as a whole. But the fact that people like Wharton (sp? the evil murdering guy) and Percy even exist. Especially Wharton. Bad, horrible, evil people like that should only exist in Stephen King's mind. I was glad there was a very strong element of good-ness with John Coffey. Otherwise I would have had to go slit my wrists when the movie was over. --Libster

John Cusack is in this romantic comedy. A pretty good movie about how John Cusack's TOP 5 LIST of breakups has affected his life. I kind of questioned the necessity of Lisa Bonet's character. I don't really think that she added to much to the movie. Otherwise, an okay movie. --Gnome

Cheesy gangster movie about the war over the "numbers" game in Harlem in the 1930's between Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson and Dutch Schultz. Not only that, it touches on a few race issues. Bumpy was black and Dutch was white. I guess it was a true story, but the ending seemed like kind of a cop-out to me. If that is what really happened I would have to say that the gangsters were pretty stupid. --Gnome

This movie has me questioning who really deserved the Best Actor Award this year. On one hand, we have Kevin Spacey, an amazing actor, who played a character that was pretty out there. On the other, we have Denzel Washington, who gave one of the best (and seemingly most heartfelt) performances of his life in this movie. Oh well, I'm thinking too much again. The Hurricane tells the story or Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a boxer in the 60's who was wrongly accused of murder and given 3 life sentences. While in prison, he writes a book, "The Sixteenth Round" (which I'm planning on reading now), and a copy of it finds it's way into the hands of a young boy from Brooklyn who is determined to set Carter free. It comes out on video tomorrow. A must-see. --Gnome

Very cute. An alien robot falls to earth and befriends a little boy. Harry Connick, Jr. and Jennifer Aniston do the voices of a couple characters. --Gnome

A professor makes up a lost tribe from New Guinea to cover up the fact that he took grant money after his wife died to support his family. The scenes when they were filming the "tribe" were hilarious. Fun movie. --Gnome

A movie about a group of self-involved 80's people in their early twenties who try to make themselves sound intelligent by giving overly long analyses of Lady and the Tramp or quotes from Shakespeare. --Gnome

It was just fucked up. It also made me angry, angry that people actually drink themselves to death. --Lellie

Where did they find the child for this movie? He was just ADORABLE! The whole idea of the game was so interesting. Roberto Benigni did a great job with his role and I only cried a little at the end when the kid said that he won. --Gnome

The one saving grace as far as these three movies are concerned. It is the movie that won Sidney Poitier an Oscar (the Best Actor award to ever be given to a black man). He plays a wandering handyman who happens upon 5 East German refugee nuns. They sort of trick him into helping them build their chapel. Very good movie. --Gnome

This movie is about a VERY shy girl who only really comes out when listening to her father's old records. The interesting thing is that she sounds exactly like Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, and every other woman singer from a while back. Add in a very cute performance by Ewan MacGregor as the VERY shy guy that likes her and this movie was great. --Gnome

Let's just call this a shoot 'em up comedy. This movie includes about 5 different groups' stories and they all come together at the end. Camera angles and movement were very cool. The main character, Ed, plays poker with the local porno king and ends up owing the guy 500,000 pounds which is due in a week or else his (and his friends') fingers will be cut off. One for every day that the money is late. They devise a plan to get the money back. At the end I was left with a few questions, but the movie is worth seeing. --Gnome

Uhhh...what? If anyone has seen this movie and can explain it to me, please do. I was utterly confused. Tom Cruise's testosterone-drenched speeches to his "students" were quite amusing, but I can't say much for this movie. I can't even explain what it is about. I don't even know why it is called Magnolia. --Gnome

Boring. Just plain boring. It did have some funny moments, but it was just the story of Andy Kaufman's life and nothing else, and I mean nothing. I rank this one up with the English Patient. --Toad

Anime movie that is interesting to say the least. It's is based around the legend that if you eat the flesh of a mermaid, you live forever. The legend neglects to say that there are three things that can happen to you when you eat mermaid meat. You can either: live forever as a normal person, become a monster, or puke up blood and have your eyeballs explode (you die, of course, if this happens). --Gnome

Very cool sci-fi flick. Lots of bugs and stuff. Mira Sorvino and Jeremy Northam (add him to the list) develop a new type of bug that kills off the entire cockroach population of New York, so that the city's children will be saved from a disease. Surprise, surprise, something bad comes of it. --Gnome

Gonzo feels all alone in the world because he is one of a kind. He decides that he wants to know where he came from. Cute movie with all of the usual muppets and a few extras. --Gnome

VERY cute movie. Frankie Muniz (Malcolm in the Middle) plays the main character, Willie, in this movie. He gets a dog for his birthday and they have all sorts of adventures. One thing I noticed, though. Luke Wilson also has a character in this movie and I hadn't noticed this when I saw him in X-Files' "Bad Blood", but he has sort of a weird face. --Gnome

Ummm...funny but pretty stupid. Nuf said. --Gnome

This would definitely be a dream come true for me. Although, I don't think that I would want to go back to high school OR be part of the popular crowd. Drew Barrymore plays Josie Geller, who is picked by her superior to do an undercover report of what high school is really like. She doesn't really get it at first, and I spent the better part of the movie cringing at what the character was subjecting herself to, but the movie turns out to be heartwarming. --Gnome

This movie comes out today, but if you really want to watch it, I would suggest waiting until it isn't a new release. One of the obvious downfalls of the movie is the fact that Chris Tucker is missing from the movie. Apparently his character is in rehab or something. The movie starts off a year from when the main character (Ice Cube) kicked Debo's ass. There is a rumor going around that Debo is breaking out of jail and coming to get Ice Cube. Ice Cube's dad decides that he would be safer if he stayed with his uncle who just won the lottery. Many mishaps throughout the movie and very very funny, but it just didn't seem to flow. I just want to know what the hell happened to the girl he was going after during the movie? Hello, you are supposed to resolve certain things throughout the course of a movie and this totally was not! If you stay up on what videos come out every week, just wait until next week when The Green Mile comes out and watch that instead. --Gnome

Dead hookers everywhere! Ewan MacGregor just took a job as night watchman at the local morgue to put himself through law school and he is starting to see all sorts of weird stuff. Pretty cool movie. --Gnome

This movie was so RETARDED. It was way too long and BORING. Johnny Depp plays a guy who finds rare books for his clients. One of his clients wants him to compare his book about the devil to the other two existing copies. It was supposed to be a horror movie, but I didn't jump ONCE. You all know how bad that is. --Gnome
Ed. Note: If the Gnome, who has been known to shriek at images as innocuous as that of a fast-food restaurant, doesn't jump during a horror movie, it must be pretty tame.

Jack Nicholson is put into a mental institution because he is trying to get out of being in prison. The cast of characters is very colorful. Complete with a little shock therapy. --Gnome

This movie's only saving grace is that it stars Nicholas Lea (Krycek from X-Files). Lots of very silly, very improbable stunts done throughout the movie. Not very believeable. --Gnome

This was my second time watching this movie. If you hadn't noticed, I have been watching a lot of George Clooney movies lately. Anyway, it's about a bank robber (Clooney) who bumps into a federal marshall (Jennifer Lopez) while planning to make his last big score. Entertaining movie. --Gnome

I love old movies. And this one is great. I mean where else but an old movie could you hear dirty darn used instead of swearing? Cute movie although I had the same problems that Morgan had with the remake. --Sarita

The remake of the original. Stars Dennis Quaid as the dad and some cute little redhead girl (yes, just one) as the twins. A good movie for kids, but I was pretty much wondering throughout the whole thing how the heck they worked out that custody issue. Who in their right mind would want to split up a pair of twins when they are babies and decide that they will never, ever know each other? And I don't know about those parents, but I would miss the other child SOOO much. --Gnome

It was cheesy, drawn out and predictable. However, cheesy sells, and I like cheese. I actually flinched quite rearkably at one part of the movie. This was a good war movie and I was entertained. However, it appears that in some parts they used stock footage from Braveheart. I was waiting for Mel to come out with Red White and Blue face paint. --CuJoe

Very good movie. Went to see it with Erin. Action-packed and I only jumped when the film came on the screen. I can see how all the stories I have heard about the behind the scenes stuff (Mark Wahlberg projectile vomiting and at another point, being almost drowned by the technical crew) would have really happened. Great movie, but yet another reason that I wouldn't want to go out to sea. --Gnome

Titanic, version 2.0. It has a better villain (monster storm vs. passive iceberg), a better soundtrack, and they got rid of the Leo bug. Still, I knew the story already, so it wasn't too exciting for me. Darn the History Channel. --Toad

An okay romantic comedy. Jennifer Aniston makes up a boyfriend to get ahead at work and to get the resident male slut at her firm. When people ask to meet him, she brings the guy who it is based on into town to show him to everyone and get him to "break up" with her. I was a little peeved that her character was falling all over the guy who was a total ass while there was a very sweet, nice guy practically offering himself to her. Good movie, though. --Gnome

War is hell. You are told that from the second the movie starts. We follow Charlie Sheen's character around the Vietnamese jungle and watch what goes on with the platoon he is with. It is basically split into two parts: the people who follow Sgt. Elias (Willem Dafoe), who is compassionate and fair-minded, and the people who follow Sgt. Barnes (Tom Berenger) who is a sick mofo. It was a heckuva lot better the The Thin Red Line. Add in some backstabbing and lots of gunfire and this is a good movie to watch if you are in the mood for a war movie. --Gnome

Dreamworks took a few liberties with the story of Moses, but the movie was still pretty good for children if you want to teach them about the Bible story. They even made Pharaoh seem more human by making it look like the reason he wouldn't free the Jews was something that his father had ground into him. --Gnome

John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton play competing air traffic controllers. An interesting movie, but Billy Bob looks rather anorexic in this movie. --Gnome

This is a foreign film starring Vincent Perez (cute guy in lots of French films, such as Indochine). The woman playing Margot has a great wardrobe, too bad it is usually covered in blood. It is about a Catholic princess(?) who is forced to marry a Protestant lord (or something) by her mother Catherine, so that France can be at peace. She doesn't love the man and at the altar tells him not to come to her room because she won't have sex with him. Anyway, she meets a handsome soldier (Vincent Perez) and falls in love with him. A bloodbath ensues. This movie was filled with backstabbing, killing the wrong person accidentally (like three times), and I'm not sure, but some sort of weird (possibly incestuous) relationship between Catherine and her son, Anjou. Despite some of the weirdness, I like all of the intrigue and backstabbing. --Gnome

Very action-packed John Woo film starring Chow Yun-Fat and Mira Sorvino. Chow Yun-Fat is an assassin who refuses to kill someone, so the man he was working for sends people to kill him. Mira Sorvino makes up forged documents and that is how these two are linked. After her apartment is trashed because he showed up to get a fake passport, they never get away from each other. If you don't want to think too hard, this is a great movie to see. If you do want a movie that will make you think, oh well, it is still a pretty darn cool movie. --Gnome

Well, first of all I am not a fan of Tom Green and while he isn't in alot of this movie he is still in it. So it got shot down for that. Also 3/4 of the humor centered around sex, bodily functions, beer and other mind altering substances . Not my type of humor. But if you are a fan of that type of comedy you might like this movie. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...which is saying something at least and I didn't want to kill anyone after viewing it. Although, the fact I didn't pay to see it might have helped. --Sarita

I used to watch the Rugrats on Nickelodeon and I think that I'm only able to handle a half hour of them at a time. As cute as them messing up words and having an adventure in the forest is, it got a little slow near the end. --Gnome

It was pretty darn funny. If you haven't seen Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer, or the Matrix or a few more, you might not get the humor, but it was soo funny. If you need a good laugh... go see it. --Lellie

Some of the best sketches that Chris Farley ever did. It's great to see how many times he makes his fellow cast members crack up while they are trying to say their lines. --Gnome

Movies that I can't predict piss me off. This one takes the cake though. They play off of a tiny detail that was brought up in the middle of this movie and had nothing (well, I guess it explains a few things, but it's still dumb) to do with the other two movies and go with it. Even though, I thought the story line was kind of dumb, a lot of the movie made me jump (BIG surprise). --Gnome

A guy needs money to stay in college and support his family back home. After giving plasma (which I apparently can't do) he takes part in a little medical research (also something that I can't get accepted for). The drug he is taking increases the senses tenfold. Very funny movie. --Gnome

I have never seen a Chan movie in a movie theater before. So, it was a first. The movie was actually a bit funny I was amazed and this is another it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be films. If you like Chan (I have seen his stuff on videos) you will probably like this ending. Although, the ending with who marries whom bothers me a little I thought it would work out the other way around. Don't worry you'll see when you get there! --Sarita

A sweet romantic comedy based around 4 people who are looking for love in Seattle. Campbell Scott is quite adorable in this. I was surprised by the cameos by Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell and Soundgarden. --Gnome

This would have been a much better movie if they had left a lot of the information to be found out at the end, but instead they revealed almost everything at the beginning. --Gnome

This film was listed as the American Filmmakers' Institute's #1 comedy of all time. It stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon as musicians that witness a gangland murder and are on the run. They pose as women in an all-girl jazz band that is traveling to Florida. In the band, they meet Marilyn Monroe, a singer whose heart has been broken by many a musician (specifically saxophone players) and is dealing with it by drinking. Yes, it's a comedy. A very good movie and I absolutely LOVED the ending. --Gnome

Resistance is futile. Everyone should see this movie. The Borgs are rather interesting and the struggle of the crew to overtake them was great. A must-see sci-fi film. --Gnome

Pretty cool. Data gets an emotion chip. Picard discovers himself. James T. Kirk dies more than once. --Gnome

Whoa! Yet another movie I yelped a lot during. Very weird and a little hard to follow at times and there are little lines that I didn't catch at first, but after THINKING about them (and a little explaining from my brother, of all people) they made sense. Compared to "The Sixth Sense" I liked the 6th Sense a lot better, but there are a lot of people that come into the video store that like this one better. I won't say anything about their intelligence level. I guess it's just relative. --Gnome

A movie about a guy who takes his boss from hell (Kevin Spacey) hostage after dealing with all of his crap. It was listed as a comedy, but I'm not really sure what it was. --Gnome

A pretty upsetting look at the dating scene. Janeane Garofalo is the female lead in this and she does a great job of making herself crazy but lovable. It is about a guy who goes on a blind date and instead of finding a tall blonde, he meets Janeane. She ends up pulling a gun on him and forcing him to stay with her. An okay movie. --Gnome

Yup, it's the typical Disney film, complete with cute little talking animal sidekicks. Some very cute songs are inserted throughout the movie. Throughout the cartoon, you are beaten with two very important messages. Don't hate people because they are different and don't take what is not yours/leave nature be. Otherwise a good movie to watch with little kids. --Gnome

Eh. Kind of bored with the movie. Plus, I saw way more of Rene Russo than I wanted to. It's about a rich guy (Pierce Brosnan) who steals stuff for fun. Rene Russo is sort of an insurance agent/bounty hunter. --Gnome

Yet another George Clooney movie. It is set after the cease fire in Desert Storm. While searching some Iraqi soldiers, Mark Wahlberg finds a map to hidden Kuwaiti gold hidden in a soldier's butt. With the "ass map," he, Ice Cube, and George Clooney go to find the gold. Pretty cool movie with great imagery in it. Nice use of color to convey emotion. --Gnome

Another Sidney Poitier movie. He is an engineer that goes to England to find a job after not being able to find one in the states. Until he can find an engineering job, he takes a teaching position in London. His kids are the least desireable kids in the city and at first they try to drive him out. He teaches them how to survive instead of the book-learning that other teachers were trying to impose upon them. A very good movie. --Gnome

I only heard of this movie because Whoopi Goldberg wore something very interesting(?) that was in the movie. Anyway, the movie is as weird as the costumes. And I know Erin will get this: I'm surprised Jude Law wasn't in it. It stars Ewan MacGregor and Christian Bale. It covers the life and faked death of a glam rock star. --Gnome

A comedy starring Matthew Perry (he would have qualified for my list during this movie), Bruce Willis, Michael Clark Duncan, Natasha Henstridge, and Rosanna Arquette. Perry is a dentist in Quebec and a hit man (Willis) moves next door to him. His wife (Arquette) decides that he needs to die, so she tries to enlist someone to kill him. Perry is so spastic that you can't help but laugh at him. --Gnome

Of all the Will Smith movies I have seen, this is not even close to being my favorite. Sure there are a lot of funny one-liners and gadgets throughout it, but really not one of his best films. Kevin Kline did a good job, but that wasn't enough to make the movie flow. --Gnome

This movie was about Oscar Wilde (big surprise) and starred Jude Law as Wilde's love interest. Hmmm...that would be the third movie that I've seen where he has been gay (or at least seemed to be). I'm starting to wonder about this guy. Many poetic lines delivered throughout the course of the film, but overall very BORING. It just kept dragging on and on, much like this review. --Gnome

Another stupid movie. Think Starship Troopers, but with a suckier villain and a worse story line. --Gnome

Okay, so I drug Erin to this one under the guise of accomplishing a life goal of mine (I've been waiting for this movie for about 5 yrs. now and missed opening night cause I had to work). I must say, Bryan Singer is the man. Anyone who had never read the X-Men comic book, decided to do the movie and crush 25 yrs. of story line into two hours is ambitious to say the least. The thing is, the man did a VERY good job of it. Aside from being an X-Men junkie, I really thought the production was faithful to the comic book in a lot of ways. Sure, he screwed with some of the detail elements (i.e. Rogue was born with the White streak in her hair in the comic book; Jean Grey is recruited to join the original X-Men because she is both a telepath and and a telekinetic with the potential for greater power in both areas the Xavier; and Xavier is infact also telekinetic;...those are the three major ones, there are countless minor ones as well like Mystique's eye color), but it actually was to make the movie work better as a movie. I was impressed. All right, the actual premise of a machine in the Statue of Liberty being used as a conductor for an all-powerful mutant making machine is a bit cartoony, but it is based on a comic book. The acting was also quite good. Ian McKellen was phenomenal. It's a must see guys. No kidding. --Taintedone
