Sugar and Spice (directed by Francine McDougall)
I haven't seen this movie yet- I might be able to see it in a few years.
This movie has my friend Kevin Kling as a dirty, not the brightest,
guy who tries to stop a robbery. (It's a small part). Sugar and Spice
looks sassy.
PG 13 for profanity and a great deal of sexually related dialogue.

Ghost World (directed by Terry Zwigoff)
This movie looks very entertaining. It¹s about two highschool
graduation girls who decide what they want out of life. The girls are
irritating and cruel to several people and at the end they have to face
it.
R for strong profanity, sexual content, some alcohol use

Everybody's Famous (directed by Dominique
Deruddere)
I am suffering and dying to see this movie. Too bad my mom says it's
a slim chance. It looks silly and charming. It's the story of a not
so great singer who becomes famous through a silly kidnapping scheme.
R Some nudity, sexual situations, some language. (I may have
a chance of seeing this movie- I'll let you know if I do)
note: I did end up seeing this movie. It's wonderful.
Back to titles.
Songcatcher (directed by Maggie Greenwald)
This movie looks dramatic. It is the story of some women who try to
record and save old mountain folk songs before they are lost in history.
PG13 for sexuality/nudity, some violence, and a strong childbirth scene.
Back to titles.
Vertical Ray of the Sun (directed by
Tran Ahn Hung)
This movie looks interesting. It's the story of three sisters and their
romantic conflicts.
PG13 for some sexual material
Back to titles
The Fast and the Furious (directed by
Rob Cohen)
I want to see this movie for the crazy car stunts and drag races. This
movie has real races, it's not all computer special effects like some
other car action movies, especially ones that should last only "60
Seconds"!
PG13 for a heavy amount of action sequences, sexuality and language
Back to titles
Divided We Fall (directed by Jan Hrebejk)
This movie looks really good. It's the story of a family who decide
to hide a jewish neighbor when the nazis invade. I have a chance of
seeing this movie on video- I'll let you know if I do.
PG13 for some violence and sexual content.
Back to titles.
Crumb (directed by Terry Zwigoff)
This movie looks darkly funny. It could also go in the "Depressing
Movie" category.
It's the story of a very talented but disturbed family of artists.
R for graphic sexual cartoons, violent references, and profanity.
Back to titles.
Run Lola Run
This movie looks very suspenseful and exciting. It has great music and
it seems thrilling. It has three possible endings -
what will happen?
R tense family scenes, language and violence
Back to titles
10 Things I Hate About You
The only reason I got to see a little of this movie is because it was
filed by mistake in the children's section of the library. Julia Stiles
is great as a crab!
PG13 for crude sex related content involving teens.
Back to titles.
Bridget Jones' Diary
My grandma snuck me into a little of this movie, and it looked charming
and amusing. I couldn't see the whole movie because of the sexual material
and the alcohol use.
Renee Zellwinger is always darling and loveable.
R for language, strong sexuality, alcohol abuse, and raunchy
humor. Note to parents: this movie includes an excessive and intensive
description of smoking, if you are against smoking Don't see this film.
Period.
Back to titles.
Charlie's Angels
Again, my gran let me see a little of this movie. I can always count
on Gran!
The storyline in Charlie's Angels looks 95% goofy/dorky. The other 5%
looks moderately interesting. I saw some martial arts action sequences
that were ok.
Action movies with stars in speedo underwear and bras are generally
entertaining.
Think of the movie as a pizza: the violence is the pineapple and the
partial nudity is the olive- if you like those toppings this is your
movie. Jackie Chan meets Sugar and Spice.
PG13 for action violence, some sexuality involving partial nudity,
some profanity including the B-word.
Back to titles.
Josie and the Pusscats
I saw most of this movie. My grandma and I peeked in to this movie while
we were waiting for our main movie to start-
(A Knight's Tale- BOO! a real stinky cheese movie) Josie is very cute
and adorable. More appropriate than Bring It On.
PG13 for profanity, some sensuality and violence.
(PS I eventually did get to see this movie. It's great!)
Back to titles.
Delicatessen (Directed by Jean-Pierre
Jeunet & Marc Carot)
I saw the first half of this movie, and I liked it! It's the story
of a
butcher shop delicatessen that sells human flesh as the new flavor of
the month. In a small french town civilization is falling apart because
of some big fat unknown catastrophe. Food is extremely scarce. The town
butcher stays in business by secretly severing people into bits and
selling them as meat.
I didn't see the whole movie, due to my mom. The art direction is V.G.-
Very good. The movie was funny and very macabre, and I wish I saw the
whole thing. I give it three stars.
R for some off camera violence, and intense menacing sequences.
In French with subtitles.
Note to parents: not for kids- they can take their little eyes to some
dumb kids' movies instead.
Back to titles.
The Emperor and the Assassin (directed
by Chen Kaige)
This movie is from one of my most favorite directors!! This movie looks
extraordinarily beautiful and true, like the blade of a sword.
First of all, The Emperor and the Assassin stars my favorite actress
in the World-Gong Li!!
Gong Li is the most beautiful woman on the silver screen. She has dignity,
strength, sweetness, truth, and beauty. And she is an outstanding actress.
She makes cheerful zombies like Heather Graham look pathetic. This film
is about the the first unification of China. Gong Li stars as the alienated
girlfriend of the first emperor of China. It is a story of ruthless
choices and the perilous consequences.
R for graphic violence
(PS I did see most of this movie, the review stands-350%. The movie
is magnificent)
Back to titles.
The Last Emperor (directed by Bernardo
Bertolucci)
I want to see this film because it is the story of the collapse of the
last empire of China. It is the story of how the last Emperor's life
changes because of the revolution.
PG13 violence, sexuality, and drug use.
Back to titles.
The Shining (directed by Stanley Kubrick)
This movie looks interesting to me, but I am definitely not allowed
to see it yet. It's a horror film with some comedy behavior tossed in.
There's ghosts, violence, humor, and pervasive suspense. The three main
stars look excellent. I think people should see The Shining before they
see The Sixth
Sense because it seems like The Sixth Sense got a few tricks from The
Shining.
R for graphic horror violence, extreme jump scenes, and suggestive
material.
Back to titles.
Taxi Driver (directed by Martin Scorsese)
This movie is incredibly brutal. I need to see this movie to understand
it, because right now to me it just looks like a sexual psycho-movie.
R for graphic violence and sexual themes.
Back to titles.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
This movie looks incredibly funny. It's about a guy, Hansel, who wants
to become a woman, Hedwig. His sex-change operation backfires him into
a drag queen, and he becomes a wild rock singer.
Note to Parents: kids should wait to see this movie until they know
alot about men and women. If you disapprove of drag queens this film
might be your ultimate nightmare.
Rated R for sexual content, strong sex change related material
that includes drag queens, language.
Back to titles.
The Filth and the Fury, a documentary about
the Sex Pistols by Julien Temple
This movie looks extra filthy, furious and fantastic! I want to see
this movie for the spectacular profanity and outrageous comic mischief.
R for excessive graphic profanity and crude sexual content.
Back to titles.
But I'm a Cheerleader
This movie looks extremely goofy. It's about a cheerleader who gets
sent to a special camp by her parents. They are worried she's gay, and
they think the camp will cure her. It seems so funny that her parents
are trying to get her cured, and then when she's at camp she falls in
love with a girl.
Note to parents: I don't think this movie is for little kids- in fact
my mom told me I have to wait until I'm older, like 13 or 14 to see
it.
R for strong profanity and sexual content involving teens.
Back to titles.
Farewell My Concubine (directed by Chen
Kaige)
This movie looks terrific. I want to see this film because Gong Li is
in it, and it won a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language film. I'm
not totally sure what it's about, but if the the title is "Farewell
My Concubine", I think it has something to do with saying goodbye
to your lover.
R for violence and some sexual content.
Back to titles.
Yellow Earth (directed by Chen Kaige)
This movie looks very intense and dramatic. It is the story of a 14
year old girl who is sent to war. I want to see this film because it
won the Chinese Academy Award, The Golden Rooster, for Best Picture.
Not Rated
Back to titles.
Temptress Moon (directed by Chen Kaige)
This movie looks sensual and somewhat superb. The story is about a woman
who falls in love with an opium addicted man.
R for opium use and strong sensuality. Note to parents: the opium
in the movie is fake, but the subject is not really for kids.
Back to titles.
Raise the Red Lantern (directed by Zhang
Zhimou)
This movie looks depressing, and it is. It's the story of a woman who
does a tremendous lie and has terrible consequences. You should see
this movie because it has very very beautiful images.
PG should be PG13 for violence, disturbing images, and psychological
tension.
(PS I eventually did see this movie, this review stands)
Back to titles.
Igby goes Down (directed by Burr Steers
)
I'm dying to see this movie. Too bad my mum saw it and now I definitely
can't. It's the story of a 17 year old emotionally scarred high school
slacker named Jason "Igby" Slocumb Jr. played by Kieran Culkin.
There's no question to why he turned out the way he did. His family
is made of a pill popping mother Mimi (played by Susan Sarandon), who
is dying of breast cancer, his schizophrenic dad ( Bill Pullman ) and
his cold, college freshman older brother Oliver ( Ryan Phillippe). Igby
is funny, hurt, charming, angry, cute and he's on the verge to nowhere.
He gets kicked out of every school he's in to get revenge on his mom.
He disappears into NYC on his latest escape and has adventures/ run-ins
with several wacky characters. Jeff Goldblum and Amanda Peet look great.
I recommend this movie and can't wait to see it on DVD.
Rated R for strong drug content, (using, buying and selling),
sexual situations, profanity, disrespectful dark humor (that looks hilarious)
all involving a 17 yr old.
Back to titles
Center of the World
This movie looks like the sexiest drama of the year. The storyline is
basically about sex, and that's it.
R (mysteriously) for some intense sexuality and a graphic scene
(NC17?)
Back to titles.
Requiem for a Dream
I have not seen this film. This story is about a bunch of drug addictors.
Some parts you might find frightening, for example a lady thinks she
sees her refrigerator come to life and start talking to her, because
of all the drugs she's taking to get skinny. The other characters in
the film have different depressing drug stories.
R (Mysteriously not NC17) for a very very intense description
of drug content, strong sexuality and violence.
Back to titles.
Time and Tide, (directed by Tsui Hark)
I'm in way over my head on this review. Everything I've read about this
movie so far is totally complicated and hyperviolent. The main characters
all seem to be trying to kill each other while chasing each other around
the world.
R for strong graphic violence and some drug content. Should be
NC17?
Back to titles.
Pink Flamingos (directed by John Waters)
This movie looks intensely funny and crude. John Waters seems like Mr.
Nutty McNut.
Rated NC17 for intense description of strong, explicit, graphic,
revolting content and humor, also nudity and violence.
Back to titles.
Y Tu Mamá También (Directed
by Alfonso Cuaron)
I absolutely can't see this film. It's a Mexican sex art film involving
teenagers.
Not rated, but packed with strong sexual content, drinking and drugs,
profanity, and graphic nudity. No one under 18 admitted-period.
Back to titles
Kikijuro
I thought this movie was one of the best movies I have ever seen in
my whole entire life. It is a story about a gangster and a depressed
cute little boy. The boy wants to find his mother who works far away
and never comes home. The boy lives with his grandmother, and over the
summer a neighbor lady sends her toughguy gangster husband to help the
boy find his mother.
PG13 for violence, some rudeness, and a threatening situation
involving the kid.
Should have been rated R. Note to parents: this movie has some very
bad attitudes and dialogue, so be concerned!
Back to videos.
