<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '><b>Goodfellas:</b> Excellent Scorsese gangster flick. I can't believe I put off seeing it this long. I still think Casino was better, though.

<b>The Fifth Element:</b> I love Bruce Willis, and adore Milla Jovovich (especially in this movie), so that was enough to get me into this one. The movie itself was really odd, and occasionally dumb, but I still liked it. Loved Chris Tucker's performance.

<b>High Fidelity:</b> I'd heard mixed reviews, and came away with a mixed opinion after watching it. I liked it, but it wasn't the kind of movie I'll really remember down the road or recommend to people.

<b>Pumpkin:</b> Funny and quite touching. If you haven't heard of it, 'Christina Ricci falls in love with a retard' is about the easiest way of describing it. Definitely worth seeing.

<b>Mothman Prophecies:</b> Pretty fucking creepy. I liked it.

<b>Sleepaway Camp:</b> I'm a sucker for old horror movies, but this movie was just terrible. Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen.

<b>Playing By Heart:</b> Funny, beautiful, great fucking cast. I love this movie. I wish the DVD wasn't so fucking bare.

<b>The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys:</b> Great coming-of-age movie splashed with some neat McFarlane produced animated scenes.

<b>Mullholland Drive:</b> One of those movies where you don't really know what's going on until it's over. And I still don't get it exactly. It's good, though.</div>

Playing it by heart and 5th element are two of my fav. movies.....

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>As good as Casino was, it's no Goodfellas. Goodfellas is only challenged by the first 2 Godfathers for best gangster flick of all time. Now I liked Casino quite a bit, but really, it doesn't touch the excellence that is Goodfellas.

Fifth Element is a pure 'fun' movie. I love watching it just to have a wild time. Of course, Milla doesn't hurt :-)

Mothman Prophecies I thought was a pretty decent thriller/horror, but nothing overly special

Mullholland Drive I really enjoyed. Like you, I still don't exactly get it, but I really enjoyed it. Weird, very weird, but also very good. I do have to see it again to get more of it. Of course, the two (HOT) women don't hurt

Haven't seen the rest, although I do really like Cusak and want to see High Fidelity</div>
