A good film with strong performances (especially the two leads). The film is about two American girls who are caught with 6 kilo's heroin on an airport in Thailand.

I must say, I was surprised with the quality of the movie. It was far better than I expected. Scenario and acting is quite good. The director made a good job as well.

This movie can be interpreted on many different levels. Don't listen to the other comments bashing the movie and saying that it is a played again story or w/e and that it is just about drugs.

"Written on the Wind" is a Douglas Sirk's melodrama.

This is a good movie, a good family movie to watch if you have nothing else to do. If you are expecting this movie to be word to word from the book, you will be very very disappointed.

One of the things that interested me most about this film is the way the characters and their associated histories are developed on the fly.

This was without a doubt the best of the "Dirty Harry" series. From the opening credits, you're swept up in a revenge tale that hits hard and is profoundly engrossing.

And my children love it now! Granted, I can watch it now and realize the animation wasn't that great, and that the plot is trite.

I'm disappointed that Reiser (who wrote the film) felt the need to use so much profanity for no reason whatsoever.

The Sopranos stands out as an airtight, dynamic exploration of American life, and how the American experience is shaped and defined by money.

Even if you're not a big Ramones fan, Rock 'N' Roll High School is *still* the greatest rock 'n' roll movie ever made. Why?

"Bread" very sharply skewers the conventions of horror movies in general and "Night of the Living Dead" in specific and is constantly inventive.

This film was released the year I was born and will be, like me, 70 in 2007. I watched it again last night having not seen it since high school.
