    I do believe that <u>Little Nicky</u> is out to rent now... I saw it last night. I had forgotten how funny that movie is.

    I definetely suggest it, even if you aren't an Adam Sandler fan.

    I heard "Gumo" was pretty wierd/good, although I hadn't seen it; I saw "Le Haine(sp?)Hate" the other day, a Frenchie kinda gangsta flick; "Salam Bombay" a super sad but very good indian flick; Guy Richies 1st movie "Lock,Stock and 2 smoking Barrells"...crazy!; of course anything from Akira Kurosawa is always fascinatin'. Good luck!

    I watched the Tao of Steve this past weekend, and I enjoyed it. It was a nice, funny little movie.

    I also rented Wonder Boys, and I enjoyed it, as well.

    I have to admit that I rented "bring it on" on monday night. man was it stupid, but it was entertaining. dont expect much and you will get more than you expected.

    but I will at least admit to renting it

    That makes two of us. Kirsten Dunst was so hot. Did you know she's only 5'4" ? Whe looks taller then that...

    Remember the Titans - awesome, feel good movie...from Disney of course.

    Circus - maybe I was too blitzed, but I didn't like it much.

    Hamlet - I only got 10 minutes into the movie. A very difficult movie to translate into the world of today, IMO.

    I've actually been very tempted to rent Bring It On, but I haven't done so yet. Any film with Kirsten Dunst in a cheerleader outfit is okay by me.

    well I didnt rent it for the blond chick. i rented it purely for ****s and giggles.

    I dont know which one Dunst is? but the chick from buffy(brunette) is much hotter than the blond in this movie. i rented the DVD. it has extra footage including an extended striptease and a car wash scene for you guys interested.

    I also rented The Tao of Steve this past weekend. Great flick!

    I rented Casino too, finally. Another good one although it has been out a while.

    I remember wanting to see Remember the Titans with my then girlfriend, but she didn't want to see it.

    My best friend said it was rad though.

    And here I didn't particularly care one way or another about seeing Remember the Titans, but I had a date insist we see it, so we went. I enjoyed it, but I don't know that it's a film I want to see again or anything.

    BTW, I went out and bought the DVD for The Tao of Steve tonight. I liked it even a little more the second time around.

    Dude, Bring It On rocked. I believe I saw it twice the opening weekend. The first time for my job, the second time because I had to take friends to prove how funny it was.

    Couple movies out that hvaen't been mentioned:

    Men of Honor - Good, not great, but if you're desperate for a war movie it works (well, no fighting, but it's the military).

    Almost Famous - Wasn't as good as I expected, but it was interesting, funny, and touching all at the same time, which most movies fail at doing. Still... it's one of those movies that is ALMOST great, and it just bugs you that it's not QUITE.

    keeping the faith is good,
    directed by ed norton, starring himself and Ben Stiller.

    its about two guyts who grow up in NY, one becomes a priest, one becomes a rabbi......

    (THere is no punch line, just a pretty good movie)
