Inspector Gadget 2 (2003 Video)

It was OK.

[3/10 · 11 July 2003]

It was ok, I liked the 1st one better, I never like it when they go and change the characters, theres just something wrong with that...and some of the deleted scences on the DVD should have been in the movie, it would have made more sense to me, plus alot of those scences included penny which she was a main character solving the crime (like usual if you think back to the cartoon) but they hardly show her enough working with brain, just one scene. I rented it, but definatly not worth buying or copying/seeing at the theater...I just rented it.

Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams (2002)

The 1st one was better....

[5/10 · 11 July 2003]

This movie was great in that the gadgets were so surprising, and that the CHARACTERS REMAINED THE SAME, you know the Cortez family....just a little older, Carmen and Juni...older..showing more rank at the OSS, but the plot was a little shaky. To my it started off slowly and finally when i got the plot down it was much better, for a grand ending. They music video in the end was great, I hope there is a soundtrack..Definatly will buy!

Spy Kids (2001)

Great MOVIE!!

[7/10 · 11 July 2003]

This is a great movie for kids and family! I would watch it over and over! The plot is unrealistic, but just the thought of kids being spys is interesting! This is definatly a movie to buy for any collection. Alexa Vega and her brother Juni (in the movie) work great together in solving any mystery.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

GREAT MOVIE! Elijah Wood is GREAT!

[9/10 · 7 January 2003]

Elijah Wood is great, absolutly great! He fit the part of Frodo well...He could not have played any OTHER role in The Lord of the Rings. If you look carefully at his expressions throughout both movies, it's great. He shows exactly what he's feeling through expressions on his face. I have not seen anyone that can do that like he does. In TIME Magizine December 2, 2002 edition,"The Elijah Effect" Director Harry Wood, says "He has an ability, more than anybody I've ever met, to convey everything he's feeling through his eyes." That is so TRUE. Which makes him perfect for the role. Its a great movie. It's best that it is seperated into 3 movies to get in all the details of the original book. Or rather than a 9 hr movie.

My Dog Skip (2000)

GREAT MOVIE!

[7/10 · 1 December 2002]

I give this movie TWO thumbs UP! It was great! I was crying at the end of it, when they were showing him go to college and leave skip behind! I definitely recommend seeing this movie if you haven't already by now.

Inspector Gadget (1999)

Good Movie

[6/10 · 1 December 2002]

Good funny movie for the family. I enjoyed it! Michelle Trachenberg was good in it. She however is not in the 2nd film being released on 2003. I can't wait to see the 2nd one. The 2nd one is rated G also, so that one is probably better for younger kids. I recommend this movie if you like funny comedys with silly actions.
