By Art Whittle Cavalier Daily Senior Writer "Lovely and Amazing," the newest limited release from Lions Gate Films, is a wonderful story of love and self-acceptance.
"XXX" is a low-grade action flick that asks to be compared with the James Bond series. It is not as good as the better Bond films; it makes ridiculous assumptions about its main character and uses villains that are neither believable nor interesting.
Who was it that started making this type of romantic comedy anyway? All of these films look the same to me.
"The Rookie" is a heartwarming story about a man who rediscovers his dream. It reminds us of a novel one would order from a seventh grade reading teacher.
Deep down, "Harrison's Flowers" fights to tell the story of a woman's desperate quest to restore a marriage torn apart by war.
If nothing else, "All about the Benjamins" definitely lives up to its title. It seems that New Line Cinema was pursuing the same thing as the film's main characters - grabbing a whole lot of cash for as little effort as possible.
"40 Days and 40 Nights" is a gimmick movie about a man trying to be honest with himself. Its interesting, believable love story entertains, but in the end, the film's shallow vulgarity weighs it down beyond relief. "40 Days" is not "America's first no-sex comedy," as it wrongly bills itself.
Do you believe that love can come along when you least expect it? If so, you might want to see "Monster's Ball," the story of a racist prison guard and a diner waitress who begin a desperate romance under unbelievably difficult circumstances. This film is outstanding.
How should I lose my virginity? Hmm, let me see ... Oh, wait, I've got it! I'll just ask Britney Spears, our resident expert.
