The Perfect Score (2004)

Great movie!

[10/10 · 21 June 2005]

This movie is a great movie! I encourage all teenagers to watch this movie because I really think teens are the only audience that will actually appreciate it. I mean, I'm not being stereotypical or anything but I don't think adults can comprehend the teen-ish entertainment that we value so much because it is relatable to us, not them. Adults will probably say that this is just a stupid movie that was horribly made. But I beg to differ. All the characters are completely lovable (especially Roy played by Leonardo Nam!) and even if the plot line is a bit outlandish...it is still well acted with a wonderful cast. I wish that this movie was longer though. With it's tagline being that it is like Ocean's 11 meets The Breakfast Club...well, not quite...but close enough and still very funny and witty. With wonderful actors and a cute plot line, this movie is without a doubt, very entertaining. WATCH IT TEENS, IT WAS MADE FOR YOU!

Forces of Nature (1999)

This movie is so quirky and offbeat that it's really good!

[10/10 · 11 January 2004]

I don't know why many people diss this movie because it's actually really good. Who better to have than Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock? They are perfect in their roles as "Ben" and "Sarah". But I have to say if Sandra Bullock wasn't in this movie, it wouldn't be as enjoyable as it is. There are a lot of laughs but not so much that it goes over the top and there is a lot of drama in it too. It's a perfect mix. The camera angles make this movie very unique too.

So the next time you're in blockbuster and you're contemplating on what to rent, you should rent "Forces of Nature" because it's the kind of film that will literally make you smile the whole way through.

4 Stars out of 5

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Is This A Disney Film?...It's Actually Good!

[10/10 · 13 July 2003]

All I could say during this movie was "wow"! It was so unlike any disney film I have ever seen. When I went to see it, I was prepared to see a loud, action/adventure type of movie, and yes, this movie did have all that but it was also VERY funny! This movie has got to have the smartest lines I have ever heard. It was very original and fun. Johnny Depp was hilarious as "CAPTAIN" Jack Sparrow and Orlando Bloom did an excellent job in more of the serious roles. Keira Knightly was equally elegant most of all. BOTTOM LINE: Great Cast & Very Fun! FoR aLL To SeE!

Saved by the Bell: The College Years (1993–1994)

A Little Better than the Original

[11 July 2003]

This spinoff of the 1989 series, "Saved By The Bell" actually was pretty good. It wasn't as cheesy as the original and had much more realistic storylines. Although it only lasted for 1 season, I think it would have lasted much longer if it stuck to it's Saturday Morning-Line Up rather than moving it to Primetime. I also think it was pretty stupid of the producers to have The College Years playing at the same time as The New Class. Leslie was a very strong character in the beginning but became useless towards the end of the season. And Alex was sometimes very funny or very irritating. Dean McMann was hilarious as the "Zack-hating" Dean and Mike was cool. The storyline that was definitely a stand out in the short-lived series was non other than the Zack/Kelly love story. It was nice to see them grow from their naive characters of Bayside to grown-up characters in the College Years. BOTTOM LINE: Really good series that should have lasted way longer than it did.

Not Another Teen Movie (2001)

Funny...Only If Not Taken Seriously

[29 June 2003]

This movie was very entertaining and funny. I admit at times some of the scenes were just plain gross but this movie was meant to be a stupid movie that makes fun of the Teen Movies out there like "She's All That", "10 Things I Hate About You", "Cruel Intentions", "American Pie"...etc. Although some of the scenes over exaggerated the original movie...it was quite a laugh-fest. (POSSIBLE SPOILER) I had two parts in the movie that really stands out in the movie: 1)The "Classic" rendition of "Janey's Got A Gun" evolved from 10 Things I Hate About You was so funny! And the police shocking Janey was just great! 2)The musical sequence before the prom was funny because when the song ended, the cast is just standing in a pose...looking around if the song "really did end" and their poses start to wobble....that is genius! BOTTOM LINE: Great movie.... not to be taken seriously.

From Justin to Kelly (2003)

Pretty Good

[10/10 · 23 June 2003]

From Justin to Kelly is actually pretty good for a movie that was filmed in only Six Weeks. I admit that the plot is hard to follow and it's cheesy and choppy but if you're a fan of American Idol, Kelly or Justin then you'll love this movie. Kelly Clarkson turns out to be a believeable actress but Justin seemed to hold back his acting skills.(if he has any)...the songs were good and the ending is great. They (Justin and Kelly) have such good chemistry together that it's hard to believe that they claim to be "just friends". Overall...a pretty good movie for fans only.

Days of Our Lives (1965– )

An Attention Grabber for Teens

[23 June 2003]

I'm 14 years old and I think that Days of Our Lives is the greatest Soap Opera of all time!!! The first time I saw Days of our Lives was during summer when I was 11 and when I was flipping through the channels I saw Kirsten Storms. And being the young kid that I was, I recognized her from the Disney film, Zenon: Girl of the Twenty-First Century. It was during the "Tropical Temptation" storyline where her character "Belle" & "Shawn" were contemplating to have sex or not. And I immediately fell in love with the series and I would only watch DOOL if there were the teens in that episode. Then as the years went by I liked the more mature storylines like the Paternity of JT and the Babyswitch. Bottom Line: Great Soap Opera for Teens which also helps teens mature.

Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas (1994 TV Movie)

A Real Tear-Jerker

[31 May 2003]

Overall this movie was good. Yes it was cheesy at some parts but the part where Zack and Kelly get married really makes up for the entire movie. It was great to see Mr. Belding at the wedding. I think the best part of the movie was when it showed the "memories" of Zack and Kelly from the first episode of Saved By The Bell to the last episode of Saved By The Bell: The College Years. It's a real tear-jerker. BOTTOM LINE: Very Good Movie

Down with Love (2003)

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

[10/10 · 18 May 2003]

~CONTAINS MILD SPOILERS~

I loved this movie! This movie is so vibrant and rich and it just keeps you laughing almost the entire time. Ewan McGregor shows off his comedic timing as (playboy) Catcher Block and Renee Zellweger shows such class as Nancy Br....Ooops!...almost spilled the ending....I mean, Renee Zellweger shows such class as Barbara Novak. I think what set this movie apart from other movies is that it had the funniest Splitscreens. For all of you who have not seen this movie yet, I advise you to not take this movie too seriously and to just have fun with every aspect of it because the ending will ultimately shock you..and i mean, COMPLETELY SHOCK you! Let's just say that there's an unpredictable twist at the end. Sarah Paulson and David Hyde Pierce were great in their supporting roles. But I have to give the most credit for Renee Zellweger because she had a 3 minute monolouge and it was just amazing. When they start the credits, there is a music video in which Renee and Ewan sing "Here's to Love" and it is a must-see. It's the best part of the movie actually. Most of all, I loved how this movie really shows how a woman could make it in a "man dominated" world. I give this movie ******************** out of ********** :p

Get a Clue (2002 TV Movie)

Good for a Disney Original Movie

[5 May 2003]

Overall, I think that Disney did a good job on this movie (compared to the train wrecks they've had in the past). Lindsay Lohan and Bug Hall really surprised me. My my, have they grown...my best friend was the person who told me to watch this movie and while I was watching it, I was like, "Jack" looks familiar...and I would have never guessed that it was "Alphalpha"...Bug Hall certainly sprouted. As for the supporting actors like Brenda Song...they were really good as well. So, even though this movie is not one of the best movies out there...it's still a great movie to see.

Moulin Rouge! (2001)

The Best Film I've Seen in A Long Time!

[10/10 · 25 April 2003]

Moulin Rouge is the best film I've seen in a long time! This film is so colorful and fun and it's so unpredictable. Nicole Kidman was breathtaking in her role as the seductive courtesan, Satine and Ewan McGregor was gorgeous as hunky, romantic, Christian. I have to give most of the credit to them for making this movie a "must-see". But all the credit should be given to Baz Luhrmann because he is the "brains of the operation". He came up with the original presentation. (I also loved Romeo+Juliet) For anyone who hasn't seen this movie, slap yourself! You should have seen it...if you had..you would have brought this movie up to number 1 at the box office. Moulin Rouge was SOOO overlooked! I'm still so disappointed that Nicole and Ewan didn't win any Oscars. They deserved it! All-in-all, I give this movie a 20 out of 10.
