Mini-Review: with its postcard locations, unrealistically dreamy characters and exotics, the movie starts off with a plastic feeling, like it is engineered for the middleclass working women in the us. fortunately it develops into an intriguing and daring story about relationships, all thanks to the inclusion of Cruz, who is absolutely enchanting through and through. Allen kinda pisses me off (being the loser/solid fiance type that i am), but you gotta hand it to the man about bringing out the best in actors.

Mini-Review: Hitchcock achieves a landmark, moving the art of cinema into the contemporary world that we know now. After watching countless psycho inspired movies, the plot may appear as predictible to the blasé crowd, but at a time when movies were pretty much real world cartoons, this was groundbreaking and extremely daring. Perkins' impeccable acting lifts the movie into a classic status.

Mini-Review: a light hearted comedy where Lemmon shines and Monroe glows. Wilder has set the pace and the tone of the movie perfectly, yet the ending seems a bit forced. It's also a fine example which shows sex can be utilized subtly and tastefully. Monroe is brimming with sensuality, and keeping up with the transgender theme, if I were a girl, I'd probably go gay for Marilyn.

Mini-Review: Groundhog Day comes from an era where Hollywood could still produce heartwarming family-friendly comedies with actually smart scripts and good acting. Murray is fascinating as usual (although he seems to have no chemistry with MacDowell whatsoever) and smart "what if" scenarios keep the movie interesting till the end. recommended to "back to the future" fans.
