I thought this movie was very interesting. Based on a true story of Frank Lucas who int the late 60's and early 70's ran a huge drug business in New York by using his family members. This man had so many connections it's not even funny. His cousin helps him import heroin from Thailand during the Vietnam war. I thought the beginning of the movie was a little slow paced but it actually was necessary to set up the backgrounds of the characters. Great movie definitely worth going to see.

Probably one of the bes movies I've seen in a long time. It was accurate to the facts and very suspenseful. The makers went to great lengths to be authentic, including the very first shot of San Francisco, you can see the Embarcadero Highway that was damaged and taken down after the 1989 earthquake. An incredible cast that should be recognized come Oscar time next year. If you were interested and followed the Zodiac killer, read the book or have no idea what it's about you should definitely see it.

This movie has a great cast. A little bit of a strange storyline but it's entertaining. After losing his wife, Seth decides to break each one of the Ten Commandments. Worth seeing once.

I wasn't sure about seeing this movie. I was not a huge fan of the Superman movies, but decided to give it a try. I was glad that I did. I thought it had some nice plot twists, Lois Lane with the son and having moved on with her life. It really left me waiting for a sequel, which I will go see.

This was an incredible movie honoring heroes who risk their lives for us. I really enjoyed how they told the story of Jack Morrison's life and career, as he's facing his own mortality in a fire. The casting was great. Joaquin Pheonix is incredible and John Travolta of course shines. A definite must see.

The first time I saw Shrek I watched it with my class because we were learning about the letter S, it had just come out on DVD and my kindergarten class wanted to watch it. I soon realized how clever the writers were. This is definitely one of the best animated movies ever. I couldn't stop laughing. When it was on television I got my husband and sister to watch it one night and they couldn't stop laughing either. This is a movie that appeals to all age groups.

Is there anyone out there who hasn't seen this movie several times. There is just something about this movie, you can't help but love it. The casting was great the story was entertaining. We really need more movies like this one.

Finally closure for the Rocky series. I was really torn whether or not to see this movie. I always looked forward to the Rocky movies and usually saw them right away then Rocky V ruined it for me. I think Stallone also felt that way and so finally decided to end the series with a way the fans could be happy with. From the start I think they did a great job tying in the previous movies in the series. Loved that Little Marie was back, who could forget the scene when he walked her home and tried to help her out, and her embarrassment when he told her what she said to him. I loved seeing the Rocky that would do anything to help you out. Even the fight was not ridiculous like I thought it would be. Paulie, what can you say about Paulie, his choice of songs for Rocky at the match, High Hopes. This is what we had come to expect and love from the Rocky series and I'm glad we get to say goodbye to Rocky this way and can forget about Rocky V.

While it wasn't the best of the Godfather, it still was good and really should be seen by any Godfather fan. Great cast, and definitely worth the time.

If you like Rodney Dangerfield you will love this movie. It had an interesting premise and Rodney Dangerfield made me laugh through the whole thing. I can't even count how many times I've watched this movie and I never get bored with it.

I was very happy with the way they did this film. Quite often when an old television show is remade into a movie, it doesn't live up to the original and is a waste of time. This movie was different, the cast was great and it was a typical Little Rascal story. Any fan of the series will enjoy this movie.

This was an above average film. I really liked the way the characters interacted, and how the song Joker was tied into the story. It has an excellent cast and is well worth renting and checking it out.

This movie definitely has to go down as one of the best movies of all time. It had an incredible cast, looking back now it's hard to believe how many stars were in this movie. The story kept you on the edge of your seat, and when the movie ended you definitely wanted to see more. All these years later I still love to watch this movie. It's one that you can see over and over again and still appreciate it.

This was a terrible movie and I really don't know why they made it. I loved the whole Rocky series until this one. It makes me worry if the new one out in 2006 will be worth going to see or not.

This movie is definitely a classic, and the best of the Rocky series. Sylvester Stallone did a great job creating and making us cheer for this underdog.

I know a lot of people loved Megan on Will and Grace but to be honest I didn't like the show and her voice to me was a big turnoff, it just got on my last nerve. I was home and watched her talk show, she is so funny and talented. I think her talk show is one of the most original ever. I love the way she has fun with her guests. I never realized just how much she had done. I'm glad to see her show doing well and I really think this is the perfect thing for her. I'll keep watching it.

I first became a fan of Paige Turco when she was on All My Children playing Lanie. She is a very talented actress. She works very hard and at one time was working on 2 hit television shows at the same time, NYPD Blue and Party of Five. She did an excellent job in both roles. I was thrilled when she was on The Agency in 2001, her latest television role. She was excellent as Terri Lowell, graphic artist in the OTS department. This was by far my favorite role for her, it was here that she met her husband Jason O'Mara. Their scenes together on The Agency were my favorite. Paige has starred in numerous independent films over the years, now that her husband has a series due on at mid-season my hope is that she too will be looking for primetime work this season. I'm looking forward to seeing her on television again soon.

I was always a fan of One Life to Live, in 1978 Brynn Thayer took over the role of Jenny. This in my opinion has to be one of the most difficult thing for a performer, to take over from somebody else. It's very easy to be compared to the previous actress. Quickly Brynn took that role and made it her own. She is definitely one of my favorite actresses. I had the pleasure of meeting her at a softball game when she was with OLTL. She was very friendly and came over shook hands and talked to each fan. This is without a doubt one of the reasons she is a fan favorite.

I don't think she's a great actress, she okay at best. Currently she's living on her very much older finace's name. I think that's the main interest in her is that she's engaged to Tom Cruise. I lost what little respect I had for her when she opened her mouth in defense of Tom's comments about Brooke Shields. I think they both need to keep their mouths shut and do their jobs. I think most people are sick of her and Tom's self righteous, We're right and the rest of you are wrong garbage. I'll be avoiding her work as well as Tom's.

In my opinion Jason O'Mara is one of the top actors around today. I'm anxiously awaiting his new show In Justice to start next year.
I first saw Jason on The Agency a few years ago and since then I was hooked. I have watched several of his previous projects and enjoyed his performances in all of them. He is an excellent dramatic actor but is also funny in his comedy roles.
Jason is extremely talented and very good looking. I'm not sure why he hasn't recieved the recognition he deserves.
There are many fan sites and groups dedicated to Jason on the internet. He has a strong and devoted fan following.
I would watch any show with Jason on it no matter when it is on or what it is against.
