Saving Private Ryan is awesome, thats a film I respect. I think you know when I say "movies are for morons" I mean this dopie teeny weeny goofy crap. The movie you describe is about a serious subject and not for teeny boopers.

[LibertarianInExile]

Presumably, and almost as poor at acting as at her activism, as this article seems to imply.

Rottentomatoes ratings can be way off sometimes.....the critics can hate a movie that is actually very good.

Don't know about this movie though. I might go see it, maybe not. So many movies about families fighting-- just get tired of it.

Jane has always been one of the better actresses in Hollywood. Too bad her politics is junk.

[Spktyr]

One of the better actresses?

Sorry, but the peak of her career was "Barbarella." Not much of a peak.

Lauren Bacall is far older, but she still kicks Hanoi Jane's butt in all aspects and respects. Comparing the two is just sacrilege. Heck, CHER was a better actress.

We will know by tomorrow when all of the big papers come in, doesn't look good though!

'Gigli' checks in at 7%, so this one still has a ways to go...

[Armedanddangerous]

I might see the new Jet Li movie, as well as the new Batman and War of The Worlds.

When is the new 007 movie coming out? Oh..not till christmas 06.

[CIDKauf]

Oh yea...Ben & J Lo....."America's couple"

Have you seen her in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" and also "Klute"?

Both were great performances by her.

She had a few flops, just like everyone else out there.

I checked "Rotten Tomatoes" and "Monster-In-Law" was at 17%. I read all of the reviews and Refreshed the site. The film has climbed to 22%.

I guess WaPo and The Slimes wrote favorable reviews.

While "Sin City" has stayed constant at 78%.

Jack.

And Star Wars Ep. 3 in two weeks.

[Spktyr]

Jane has yet to turn in a "great" performance. They Shoot Horses and Klute were merely adequate, not good.

I've been waiting to see "Downfall". I couldn't get to the theater to see it, so I have to wait until Netfix gets it.

[Hank Rearden]

I checked "Rotten Tomatoes" and "Monster-In-Law" was at 17%. I read all of the reviews and Refreshed the site. The film has climbed to 22%.

Back to 17% at the moment; I just checked. Looks like it really sucks; even Roger Ebert The Big Fat Liberal hates it (one star).

Guess it's just a matter of personal opinion.
