Review of Mini's First Time (DVD) by
peteandcesca
Advantages: Lots of well known actors - bit different
Disadvantages: there are better films I suppose
...It shows his side as Mini's stepfather and as they start their affair he then starts to fall for her and you can see he is struggling with wanting to be with her but, also embarrassed by what he is doing.
Carrie-Anne Moss is Diane, Mini's mother and I thought she played her role pretty well. Obviously she is probably most well known for her role in the 'Matrix' but here she plays a different role altogether. We see her as a drunk who is nasty and ... ...career. We see her becoming more and more worked up as the film progresses and I thought she was very good in her character role.
Jeff Goldblum plays the neighbour in the film of Mini, Diane and Martin. He plays a big time TV producer and is actually sleeping with Diane on the side! He also likes to watch Mini whilst she is in the pool which Mini knows. He played a part that seemed the same as he always does - charming and a bit boring but he suited ...

Review of Miss Congeniality (Wide Screen) by
jo_field26
Advantages: sandra is great
Disadvantages: weak storyline
...to make her pass as Miss United States. Her Colleague played by Benjamin Bratt who is the head of the FBI team is shocked by the transformation as Gracie actually looks so different to her normal FBI Agent attire. Through out the film the attraction between them grows.
Michael Caine after the transformation needs to teach Gracie to walk elegantly, to have a talent to show in the contest, to eat like a lady and also to perfect a speech to give at ... ...whilst living a healthy life style, which I think is one of the best parts of the film as she tries to smuggle donuts in her dress.
Does the pageant goes smoothly you will have to wait and see.
This film has a star cast with William Shatner who plays Stan Fields a judge in the beauty pageant.
This film is funny and is not a normal role that you would see Sandra Bullock in but I think that she plays the character really well and puts her heart ...

jo_field26
Advantages: romantic comedy
Disadvantages: predictible
...disappointed, ok it is not the best film that I have ever seen but it had humour and was a romance too which made it all the better.
Jennifer Lopez plays Mary a Wedding Planner, although when it comes to her own wedding she is very skeptical. Mary one day has an accident when walking home from work as her heel gets stuck in a drain and there is a car and wheelie bin heading to her. When the lovely Steve played by Matthew McConaughey saves her. Mary ... ...to watch a movie in the park, he accepts and that is where she starts to falls in love with him.
The following day there is a wedding that any wedding planner wants to plan so Mary goes and tries to win the account and that she does, she then meets the fiancé of this lucky lady who turns out to be Steve, who Mary now has to try and hide her feelings and organise the wedding, but to make matters harder they all have to go away for a weekend to look ...

Money equals happiness?
Review of The Settlement DVD by
sunmeilan
Advantages: Keeps you guessing
Disadvantages: Nothing particularly memorable
...business buying insurance policies from the terminally sick, then collecting when they are dead. The only problem is their clients have stopped dying on time - and Jerry and Pat are nearly on their uppers. With his wife nagging at him to earn more money, Pat is determined to declare themselves bankrupt and start again. Then Barbara appears in their office. She will be dead of a brain tumour in three months; in the meantime, she wants to live the ... ...not familiar with either of the two main actors - John C Reilly who plays Pat and William Fichtner as Jerry, but others may be - Reilly has had roles in a number of films including The Storm, Magnolia and The Aviator, while Fichtner has appeared in Prison Break and has a small role in The Dark Knight. I thought both of them did a good job. Reilly as Pat is initially the sceptical one who just wants a quiet life, but his personality changes during ...
