"Erin Brockovich"

This movie has also been on tv quite a bit, at least lately when there seems to be a Julia Robert phase going on.

The movie is about Erin Brockovich, a single mother with three kids, who stumbles across the real reason many people in the area around a plant are sick from cancer and leukemia. She and her boss work together to make a law suit agains the company and compensate the people for their medical bills that they had to pay because of what the plant put in their drinking water.

Very good movie..

"Runaway Bride"

I have seen this movie SO many times... just from it being on tv!

It's a cute movie.. definitely a chick-flick, but it can be enjoyed by both sexes, I think.
A funny old grandma, a handsome Richard Gere, a pretty Julia Roberts... Something for everyone!

"I like his tight butt!... Well I do!"

"I'm gonna go focus on your eggs now, Bob."

The Motorcycle Diaries (Diarios de Motocicleta)

This movie has been talked about by nearly everyone I know, and I was the last to see it. I bought it through Amazon.com and finally watched it with Juan one night. He had the advantage because the movie was in Spanish with English subtitles. (He didn't have to read them.)

The movie tells the story of Che Guevara before he went to Cuba. Him and his best friend went on a journey around the continent of South America by motorcycle. It shows their struggles and triumphs.

All in all, it's a good one.

Midaq Alley (El Callejón de los Milagros)

I went to see this movie with Juan at a Mexican Heritage Club meeting on campus. It was in Spanish with English subtitles.

It was a really long movie, but it was really good. The only thing that I didn't like about it was how stupid Selma's character was. I wanted to just slap her for not seeing the love that the boy had for her. *ay!*

The movie starts over about three or four times and tells the same segment of the story but from different characters' points of view.

There are stories of love, choices, and loss.

"Satan's School for Girls"

So bad there were funny parts. The main girl's facial expressions of 'terror' looked like she was about to puke up her insides.

The "music" was terrible and 70s-ish - along with the clothes they wore. But what can I say? The movie was made in the 70s.

The lighting to imitate the light given off from an oil lamp looked like the lights of various large flashlights and spotlights dimming on and off as the girl walked down the hallway.

There was only one scary part in a dark room... It was only scary because of the loud BANG of "music" when something appeared from behind a barrel.

My suggestion: Only watch this if you're at a party and you're not really gonna pay attention to it anyway.
