Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)

RATING: 3.5/5
Chick flick alert... This is a heartwarming story of friendship that stands the test of time. I am not sure why I always find this movie in the gay/lesbian section because it is more friendship that lesbian love. We assume it is, but whatever. Keep your hankies around.

The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)

RATING: 5/5
Depending on how you look at this movie, it either will suck and be good. On the Brady Bunch side, it is true homage to the show and what it represents. Take what you want from it, they brought the Brady's in to the 90's not as adults but as they were in the 70's. What might have been cool then is not in the 90's and Greg is not "big man on campus", so they are adding the reality of what is real. Because of this, it makes the Brady's seem dumb and moronic. But the movie was not to be taken seriously. It was a fun celebration of the show and the characters and they fact that the cast supported this and can make fun of themselves and the show today is great. Movie wise, it sucked in plot, storyline and everything else. I am a Brady Fan and loved it.

The House Bunny (2008)

RATING: 4/5
I hate the critics have to dissect everything... Why can't a movie just be fun without a purpose. This is exactly what it is. I don't think this movie was created to win any awards, especially an Oscar. But what it did give was lots of "this is so stupid" laughs. I usually enjoy a comedy without a lot of laugh out loud parts, but this almost made me bust a gut at times. Go into this movie with being entertained and not looking for some deep meaning. It is a feel good funny movie that I thought would be crap but wasn't.

The Client (1994)

RATING: 3.5/5
I am not a fan of legal dramas but on our Susan Sarandon film festival, we pulled out our laserdisc copy of The Client. The storyline kept us intriged and engaged the whole way through. It seemed a tad long, but you had to stay with it to find out what happened next. It moves slow, but worth it.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

RATING: 3.5/5
For when it was made and what it was about, the movie had a lot of good points to it. It was slow and never really picked up with an adventure sense. It is more drama than what I consider SciFi. I remember seeing this when I was younger, but I guess I had built up something more in my head and therefore, I was disappointed in the movie as a whole.

Clueless (1995)

RATING: 4/5
A pointless movie of what was to be so 95. The characters were shallow and oblivious to the real world and that is what we loved about them. They were to be like that cause it shows us how the world really is. This is how the average teen thinks, which makes the film brilliant.

Congo (1995)

RATING: 3.5/5
I feel the critics are wrong on this movie. Just in the tradition of Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton takes us on a journey to a remote location where things are going whacko. This time with Gorillas. I was engaged the whole movie and it made me want to read the book. It had a good story and was wanting more.
