General Movie Discussion

Hello, wonderful people!

I cannot wait for Jerry Bruckheimer's PEARL HARBOR, due out on Memorial Day 2001. People have already dubbed it "The Next Titanic", and I can see why. Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Ben Affleck head the stellar cast! We all know what took place at Pearl Harbor, but I can predict that many people will be swooning over the love story.

My home overlooks the harbor, so I was fortunate to witness some of the taping of the flight sequences.

The world premiere is going to take place on May 21st aboard the USS John Stennis (an aircraft carrier) in Pearl Harbor. You can bet money that I'm going to try and use my military connections to be one of those 2,000 invited guests!!!

I saw The Visit, and that movie is very thought provoking and deep. It really does make you think and look at your own life. This is a movie that I think everyone should try and go see. And it is based on a true story.

If you have seen the movie, what did you think about it? One other thing, after leaving the theater I got into my car and started it. Then I just shut the car engine off and sat there for a moment. That is how deep the movie was. All I'm saying is y'all need to check this flick out.

SADLY The movie only opened on a limited basis and Columbus was not one of the cities. Guess I will have to add it to my video Hot List when it comes to video.

FYI: Rush Hour2 hits the theatres on August 3, 2 days after my birthday.

Scary Movie 2 will open on 4th of July.

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg scrub up for ``Wash''

By Dana Harris

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Rappers Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg will play mismatched roommates in ``The Wash'' an urban comedy set against the backdrop of a busy car wash.

The duo will also serve as executive producers and supply the music. Dr. Dre's potty-mouthed protege, Eminem (news - web sites), will make an appearance.

Production starts Monday in Los Angeles, with a wide theatrical release planned this winter via Lions Gate.

D.J. Pooh, who co-wrote the box office hit ``Friday'' with Ice Cube, will direct from his own script. Pooh, aka Mark Jordan, made his directorial debut last year with the comedy ``3 Strikes,'' which he also wrote and produced.

I just caught a preview of this new movie starring

Lil Bow Wow or BOW WOW aaaaaaaaaaand MORRIS CHESTNUT. The movie premieres on July 3rd.


You know the soundtrack is going to laden with Bow Wow tracks.

Summary:
Hip hop star Lil' Bow Wow stars in this family comedy fantasy as Calvin, a teen who dreams of being a famous pro basketball player. But his relatively diminutive stature and limited ability make his goal a far-off fantasy. Or is it? When he buys a pair of magical basketball shoes that legend says belonged to a great basketball star, Calvin displays amazing hoop skills and leads a struggling NBA team to victory.
MPAA Rating: PG for brief mild language..

Starring:
Lil Bow Wow Morris Chestnut
Jonathan Lipnicki Anne Meara
Crispin Glover


**I saw Allan Iverson on the screen as well.**

[CrimsonTide4]

I don't really know what to say about this one. . . you be the judge.

Juwanna Mann

Release Date: June 21, 2002
Basketball Comedy
Rated PG-13 for language and sex-related material.

Starring: Miguel A. Nunez, Jr., Kevin Pollak, Lil' Kim, Kim Wayans and Ginuwine.
Directed by Jesse Vaughan.

An outrageous NBA star (Nunez) gets kicked off the court when his antics finally go too far. Desperate to play, he disguises himself as a woman and tries out for a WNBA team. He drastically underestimates how much effort it takes to pull off this ruse. When he triumphantly returns to basketball, it is undercut by the fear of discovery of his scheme.

It's been a while since my last post so HOOOOOWDY-HOOOOOOO! to all sorority members and sisterfriends. Everyone one already knows that the sequel to the Matrix is being taped in Australia. Trinity from part 1 will not be in the sequel, but Jada Pinkett Smith and Aaliyah (did I spell that right?) are in the movie. I am not sure what role they will play but I hope it is the bomb.

Now I know watching partial of the making of matrix 2 they said that trinity will be in it, but she couldn't shoot for a couple of weeks because she had broken her foot. (the movie wouldn't be right without her or neo even with a new person playing her it wouldn't be right) I didn't know that jada was in the movie? I often wondered who they would replace aliyah with, or how would they continue her character for the movie. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I hope it is as good as the first one, cause lawd knows I know that movie WORD FOR WORD.

speaking of movies, I am excited for Men in black 2 to come out. I am into sci-fi, so i REEEEEEEALLY LOOK FORWARD to seeing it.

I love the Power Puff Girls! I can't wait. I wish was that opened today.

I would also like to see "Insomnia,"and "Men in Black 2."

It was pretty okay. I LOOOOOOOOOVE Al Pacino, so he redeemed the movie for me. I was expecting something suspenseful with twists and turns. Not in this movie. It was not bad, but also not what I was in the mood for. I would recommend Unfaithful instead. It was the bomb!

Oh MaNessa...

The best word I could come up with to describe "Enough" was...SH*TTY.

I'm not really a J-Lo fan, but a few of my friends were getting together to go to the movies yesterday and the one guy of the group picked "Enough" as the movie. By the end, we were hitting him and telling him that we want our money back! J-Lo needs to stick to light comedy (I liked her in The Wedding Planner). Or maybe it wasn't her fault, but the script/producer/director - her character just seemed so STUPID to me!!

[UDZETA]

I thought "enough" was a great movie. I thought Jenifer Lopez did a wonderful job. The movie may have been a litte over dramatic but thats what makes a movie. It was nice to a women learning to defined herself and protect her family. So many women have husbands that beat them and they are too scared to do anything about it. We a women "run away" a lot of times the husband will do whatever it takes to stop her and if that means killing her to do that he will. I think this movie showed that and it also showed how two faced a man can be when it comes to his wife and the kids. I liked this movie and maybe it will get some women and girls into self-defense classes. Every person, man and women should learn how to defend themselves. Thats my two cents.

[SweetestDiva]

I liked "Enough."

I'm really waiting on "Lilo and Stitch," the one about the alien who befriends that little girl.. please tell me y'all have seen the preview where the animals hold him up and sing "Circle of Life" and then they're like, "Hey, that's not Simba!" Then this fool makes the most ridiculous noise... I know I'm not the only one that wants to see it.
