Do Over (2002–2003)

I love this show

[24 October 2002]

This show is just so much fun. There's no other way to put it. You don't look for accuracy, or wish fulfillment, or deep dialogue or plot.

The show reminds me of when I was in high school - the times that make me sad they're over AND the times that made me cringe. It's fun to watch just to see all the 80s references. It's the kind of fun that That 80s Show SHOULD have been (but SO WASN'T).

The storylines are good, it's fun to think of going back and having the ability to make changes. Or seeing Joel know what happens in the future to the people he knew in high school, while he's back in high school this second time around.

I only wish that it was on a major network so that more people would "fall" into it. Hopefully, it will be found, and watched, by many - so that I can keep on seeing it.

Check out this little show. You'll have fun.

Unfaithful (2002)

Wow! Really Well Done!

[8/10 · 10 May 2002]

This movie was great. We were at the edges of our seats throughout.

The sex scenes were very good, really powerful.

Diane Lane was awesome - believable, strong, vulnerable. Her range in this film was amazing.

I recommend this film highly. There aren't a lot of films around these days that take you on this kind of ride.

Go see it!!!

Vanilla Sky (2001)

I miss Tom Cruise!

[1/10 · 15 December 2001]

I miss the lovable Risky Business, Top Gun, Jerry Maguire characters that made Tom Cruise "Tom Cruise".

This movie was SOOOO bad. There were so many things that I just didn't get, that I am not even interested in thinking about the movie for one more minute. I registered with IMDb within hours after seeing the movie - just so I could warn people to use their $8 for something else (anything else!)
