Changing Rooms (1996)
This show proves...
...while the Brits may come up with the initial idea we Americans can improve it. Recently watching the "Changing Rooms' for the first time one word kept coming to mind bland. This show has no personality and is inferior to "Trading Spaces".
Where the Heart Is (2000)
I really liked this movie
As a person who will go out of his way to avoid "chick flicks" I have to tell you that I really liked this movie. Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd are both very good as single mothers trying to raise their children in Oklahoma. It is interesting to see both ladies grow as the movie progresses. Portman's character, Novalee, starts off as a pregnant teenager who is abandoned by her boyfriend in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart. She goes from being a scared young mother to being a strong independent woman. At the same time Judd's character, Lexie, starts out as a single mother of 4 who "auditions" several men to be the father of her brood. After a devastating experience she realizes that he has been drawn to the men in her life for selfish reasons. Add to the mix a supporting cast that included Stockard Channing and Sally Field and where the heart is score as a very enjoyable film.
X-Men (2000)
Bring on X-Men 2
For comics fans this is one of the best adaptations of a comic book yet. (Equal with the first Batman movie) For people who are not comics fans the story is very clear so that they will not be in the dark. The special effects are outstanding. A very enjoyable film.
The Green Mile (1999)
If you liked the book, you'll love the movie!!!!!
A great film very faithful to Stephen King's serial novel. Great performances by the cast and very realistic settings make this a very enjoyable picture. Tom Hanks should be seriously considered for a best actor oscar for his performance. No true Stephen King fan will be disappointed.
