Insomnia - starring Al Pacino and Robin Williams
A rollicking thrillride through the streets of Anytown, U.S.A., Insomnia kept me on the edge of my seat
with more plot twists than a Danielle Steele Novel. Al Pacino plays the role of a crooked L.A. cop hard-set
on murdering his bumbling partner, played by Burt Reynolds. The story unfolds in a small fishing village in Alaska,
where Robin Williams character has just literally gotten away with murder, despite himself. Needless to say, Pacino's
character, Frank Forbes (or Furber?, Drober?...something like that) brings creepy/non-believeable villan Robin
Williams to justice, all on about an hour's worth of sleep in 6 days.
Bottom line: Insomnia won't be keeping me awake tonight. C+

Spiderman - starring Miss Kate Hudson and Cody McGuire
Though I haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing this film, believe you me, my spidey-sense is already
tingling with anticipation. Stay tuned for an update!
Bottom line: stay tuned!

Panic Room - starring Helen Hunt and Jody Foster
Ok children, can we say intensity? How about intensity with a capital 'I'? Mom and Dad, put the kids to bed, and
hold on to your butts, you're in for the ride of your life with this little gem of a thriller. If you're planning on
going to see Panic Room, I hope you like to have your own butt handed to you on a silver platter, with a side of
Ms. Helen Hunt's fists all up in your face, 'cause that's what you're gonna get. Who ordered the bowl of girl power,
cause your order is up, and your waitress, Miss Jody Foster is off in an hour, so don't expect any dilly-dally when she's
bringin' the pain. Bad guys beware, these two females didn't spare any expense in their shopping spree of beatin' your fanny
six ways to Sunday, 24/7. Don't get me wrong, these two ladies won't just make you wish you'd never been born for nothin';
but don't tempt them, they're definitely gettin' warmed up on caving in your disbelieving face and chestal cavities.
Bottom line: On an intensity scale from 1 to 'Panic Room,' I'd give this movie an 11. B-

Snow Dogs - starring Cooba Gooding Jr. and a loveable troop of Alaskan Huskies.
Tell me something, friend, have you ever gone into a movie with unreasonably high expectations, ones that no move should
ever have to live up to, and then you watch as this movie more than lives up to your expectations; it brings to life some of your most vivid and cherished dreams and wishes? Well, what would you say if I told you that Snow Dogs did just that for me. The acting is superb, and the sounds effects are out of this world. Now answer me this, what would you rather experience? Mr. Gooding Jr. screaming like a little girl whilst being dragged behind a dogsled, or a bunch of talking, sunglass wearing Alaskan Huskies sitting around a pool chattin' it up amongst themselves? What would you say if I told you that you don't even have to decide! You'll get these scenes, and so much more in Disney's Snow Dogs. And there's even more good news: now that Snow Dogs has been released on Disney DVD we can now have our Snow Dogs and love them too.
Bottom Line: Disney's Snow Dogs is not to be missed. I can hear it now: "...and the Oscar goes to: Cooba Gooding Jr.!" A+
Health Update
Well friends, after paroosing an online list of plague symptoms, I've decided that I have just recently gotten over a case of the plague. Fortunately, it must have just been one of those 48 hour plagues, I'm feeling much better now, many of my plague symptoms have all but disappeared. I was trying to figure out how I might have gotten the plague, and I think I've narrowed it down to two things. I think it was either from playing catch with that dead racoon, or rolling around in that pit of dead squirrels. Then again, it might have been that test tube full of plague I spilled on myself the other night. I don't know, I guess it doesn't matter now that I'm feeling better.
