Coyote Ugly (2000)
Not Oscar material, but fun
My wife had been nagging me for months about renting this movie and I kept putting it off. The critics reviews had totally turned me off to the story.
I finally picked up the DVD tonight and just thought I would read a book while my wife watched it. About 15 minutes after it started, I realized I was enjoying it...and it wasn't all due to the eye candy dancing on the bar.
I found it amusing and fun, and my wife enjoyed it too. I agree that the plot was predictable, but it is the rare movie that isn't. It certainly was no more schmaltzy and predictable than "Dirty Dancing" which made a mint when it came out. There are a hundred stories like this, but the dialogue is fresh enough to make the story entertaining. I look forward to seeing Piper Perabo in other roles. I gave it a 7.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
A Fun Ride
Definitely a fun ride, fast action...a little scary for kids, but overall, this movie was FUN! I loved Depp's version of Keith Richards. Keira Knightley is gorgeous!! Orlando Bloom proves that there is life after LOTR, although I can't wait to see the final installment of that series.
Last of the Dogmen (1995)
The Best Movie Nobody Ever Heard Of!
This movie was wonderful. It had all the elements of an Oscar contender. It had action, but was also humorous throughout. Scenes of violence were done tastefully and the only thing slightly objectionable might be a few swear words. A true family film. I own the video and have watched this movie at least 30 times.
