Elizabethtown (2005)
what I was going to say
What I was going to say about this movie is don't watch it if you've recently lost someone, a parent but then I'm reminded of all the things in this movie that bring out life. Chuck & Cindy loving life 24-7.All of the family that really loved each other and cared about Mitch dying but more about Mitch living. i know this doesn't relate but when my grandfather died everyone said to celebrate his life. I didn't get it, I was just a kid. I get it now. Then we have Claire and Drew who didn't meet and jump into bed. They did what everyone wished they'd done. They talked all night and all day and just got to know each other, fell in love and really didn't know it. They met on an airplane, his parents met in an elevator. This movie made me laugh and cry at all the right times. Just love the music. Don't worry about the credits just enjoy the movie. BTW. this is the first time I've commented on a movie so I'm sorry if it's trivial.
Wuthering Heights (2003)
If you can let go of the original, this is a great movie. Not just for teens.
I've read a lot of reviews on different sites saying this was remade into a typical teen movie. Trust me I'm not a teen and I loved it. I haven't been glued to the TV and brought to tears so much or fast with any movie I can remember. Mike Vogel was amazing. He pulled off the tortured soul of Heath so well. I'd only ever seen him in Grind and what a transformation. He went from a young man with a dream to a man with a love. I couldn't believe Mike's voice and Erika Christensen not only complimented Mike's voice but was amazing on her own as well. The other characters however were typical rich kids with not quite as much depth but it was irrelevant because all a viewer is watching for is Kate & Heath to be together even for a moment. I shake my head every time I see someone standing at a doorway listening to a conversation only to miss the most important part as in "I am Heath". I believe a classic can be remade in many ways and era's only to reach new viewers. This remake done for the new generation can only entice viewer to want to know what the classic was really like. If it reaches any of the younger generation enough to want to read the book then it was well worth the money to make. It's a good movie, it has good actors and it's real and now. The music is amazing. What more do we need to make our younger generation seek out classics. Keep remaking the classics and keep reaching our kids.
xXx (2002)
I thought it was awesome...........
Fabulous stunts (if you like extreme sports). Fabulous acting. I don't think they could have anyone else play the lead role but Vin Diesel. The Mission Impossible for the New Millenium, can't wait for the sequels. I know most people don't like sequels but if they are well written and well acted they will succeed. This will be one of them. Keep it up.
