EMPIRE RECORDS: Starring--All of them! Rating: A+ Ok this is one of the best movies for people under 35-40. It shows you the lives of a group of young people who work in a record store. In this movie they have to fight to save their store and their lives. It's an excellent comedy-drama and much more advanced then a typical teen flick (which this film is not) It makes you think through out a lot of the scenes and makes ya realize that there're almost no problems that can't be conquered! I suggest if ya haven't seen this movie yet (which I'm shocked if ya haven't and you're a fan of one of these actors) go out and rent it, it is really a cool movie! I give it an A+ THE CRAFT: Starring--Robin Tunney Rating: A+ This movie is a suspense. It is about a girl, Sarah (Robin), who moves to Los Angeles, and gets taking in by 3 highschool class mates who are very in love with black magic. She then joins the group and through out the movie discovers it was a very bad idea....She has to use all her powers to erase all the evil they have caused and the suffering. This movie is a joy ride all the way through, and takes you through some of the elements of freakiness! I thought the movie was very well done! I give it an A THE RAINMAKER: Starring--Johnny Whitworth Rating: A- This is a sad movie, but really good. It's about a young guy, Donny Ray (Johnny), who's dying of Leukimia. He need a transplant to live and his major insurance company will not give him one. This makes his parents sue the company and hire an unexperienced lawyer, Rudy (Matt Damon), it makes you sit on the edge of your seat the whole time. It is a movie that shows good will win over evil, but unfortunately shows it in a very sad way. It made me cry like crazy. Other than that though it was a cool movie and very well acted! I give it an A- ARMAGEDDON: Starring--Liv Tyler Rating: A- I usually don't like sci-fi action films, but this movie shocked me, and turned out to be really good. Join the adventure where; to save the world you are in the hands of red-necked oil drillers, who have to learn NASA stuff in a day. Then go up into space and try to cut inhalf an asteroid the size of Texas heading for Earth. The fun never stops in this move and is an action packed adventure. You must be asking where the hell Liv fits in this movie, and I'm gonna tell you go watch and find out for yourself. I give it an A- LOVE AND A 45: Starring--Renee Zellweger and Rory Cochrane Rating: A This movie is an interesting ride (and I mean that literally) In the movie we join a happy couple, who are wanted for killing two cops in self-defense. It all started with Wiley and his friend Billy Mack (Rory) holding up a convience store, and Billy Mack being the stoned guy he was, shot and killed the clerk. Who turned out to be the sheriff's daughter. So Billy starts flipping out over this and goes nuts and on a druggie spree and also wants to kill Wiley, afraid that he'll turn him in. This makes Wiley and his girlfriend, Starlene (Renee), go on the run to Mexico. Will this wild couple escape Billy and the cops? Go rent the movie! It was an intriguing film! I give it an A EVOLVER: Starring--Ethan Embry Rating: A This movie is about a guy, Kyle who loves robots (Ethan), So when he wins a contest and is offered to product test a new robot that is capable of talking and doing things with people, he of course says yes! Unfortunately, something is very wrong with the robot by the way it was made (it was 1st used in the army) and the robot turns into a vicious killer when ever it pleases him. So Kyle now has to figure out a way to destroy this indistructable robot before it kills him and everyone he loves! This movie was a cool suspense thriller! I give it an A JULIAN PO: Starring--Robin Tunney Rating: C When a man (Christian Slater) comes to a small town to commit suicide; something happens that he least expected: he falls in love with a girl from the town (Robin) After multiple failures of him trying to kill himself he eventually decides to screw it. When the towns people first discover what he's up to, they follow him constantly trying to prevent him, this making him give up. The end of this movie is shocking and was quite sad for me because the shocking thing involved Robin. The movie is ok after you get used to all the boredom and you stop yawning, but Robin was great in it! I give it a C STEALING BEAUTY: Starring--Liv Tyler Rating D+ I originally gave this an F, but I saw it again recently and it wasn't as bad as I remembered. When Lucy (Liv) goes to Italy to vist her dead mother's friends, she goes with a mission to find her real father and to loose her virginity to the guy she first kissed there a few years ago. During the movie she uncovers secrets that she thought she would of never knew. She also doesn't end up loosing her virginity to that guy because he's a jerk, but to this other guy (oh man was he ugly and scrawny, sorry) she met. It was a disgrace to Italians (specially Liv being one, not to mention me) but if you give it a 2nd chance it's quite humorous actually. Liv was worth the watch, as her acting was captivating. I give it a D+ ONE TRUE THING: Starring--Renee Zellweger Rating A In this movie Ellen (Renee) is a workaholic who just got her life set and finally was making a mark in her career. Then she was told by her father (William Hurt) that she had to come back home because her mother (Meryl Streep) had Cancer and was going to die soon! This turns Ellen's life all around. Not only does she have to leave her job and asshole boyfriend, but she has to nurse a mother that she hasn't been close to in years! By the end Ellen realizes how much she loves and missed her mom. This movie was very interesting and very well acted! I dug it! It gets an A DANCER, TEXAS POP 81: Starring--Ethan Embry Rating B- This movie was ok if you like cute family films. It's basically about four guys who live in the small town of Dancer, Texas where the population is 81 people! After they graduate they made a solemn vow to all move to Los Angeles together. Along the way some drop out of the vow, some come back, and others stay, etc. It's basically a coming of age film, and most of the humor in it comes from Squirrel (Ethan) The storyline is really thin and not all there, but it's a cute movie-if you're that type of person! But you will notice that it has a few up and coming young actors in it! I give it a B- (ok I will have more reviews, 40 or so, when I get a chance)
