First of all, I loved the movie! Sure the acting was a little wooden, put that up to inexperience. The kiss came right before Billy leaves, it's more of a accepting goodbye than a expression of love. The gay topic was a sideline at best but not the theme of the movie. I also enjoyed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Even though the characters had won their battles by living through them, they still knew they had lost a lot by taking up the sword. A lesson lost to most action movies. The flying added a bit of humor. It is one I will definately be getting for my collection.
"Erin Brockavich" was really good too. Been a while to review it though.
I had a REAL problem with them calling "See Spot Run" a "FAMILY FILM". This piece of garbage isn't worth being seen by adults (let alone kids). Tell me, would you allow anyone who acts like that into your house and watch your children. Why can't these talented actors have more control over the projects they do.
Loved "SPY Kids"! I'm so tired of the Stupid Parent Syndrome movies rely on to get their product to appeal to kids. It's nice to see something that has a family bonding together as a family. That's the true definition of "Family Film".
Anyone seen the little blurd for "Moulan Rouge". This thing sounds Fantastic! I loved "Strictly Ballroom". Didn't get to see the "Romeo & Juliet" with DeCaprio(and yes, I do want to see it).
Finally, I've racked my brain, and I'll probably kick myself for asking....Where did "Push the Button, Max" come from? Arrrrg
