Possession

I thought this was a pretty clever love story, and it kept me entertained throughout the film. Yes, a bit sappy at times, but the modern romance between "American Guy" and Gwyneth kept it interesting.

The Matrix

We watched this movie again in anticipation of the sequel being released next week. It's such a fantastic movie -- great to look at, great to think about. Style without compare. It really holds up over multiple viewings and I'm really looking forward to the sequels.

X2: X-Men United

A good action flick, but this whole series just doesn't do a whole lot for me. Must be because I never got into the comic book. Anyway, it's good mindless fun, some nice special effects, but not really all that memorable.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Like a fine wine, this 80s movie only improves with time. The classic teen comedy does a great job of capturing the angst and excitement of high school. Lots of big names started with this film. Some fine, uh, tops were revealed as well.
