I thought "Secretary" was a pretty good movie. I don't think I'd want to watch it again or even own it, but it was fun to watch. Maggie Gyllenhaal was good as Lee Holloway, a young woman who was just released from a mental institution for cutting herself. She gets a job as a secretary for a lawyer, brilliantly played by James Spader. Soon she learns that E. Edward Grey (Spader) has a quick temper and likes a sadomasochistic relationship just as much as she does. I'm 18 years old and I watched this movie with my parents. I was somewhat embarrassed during the scenes where Spader was spanking Gyllenhaal and did they really have to show her in full frontal nudity? I was a little sickened by that. But anyways. This movie was ok to watch and all the actors did pretty good jobs. James Spader is wonderful as always and Maggie Gyllenhaal was convincing in her role. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes watching sadomasochistic relationships and seeing people get spanked. But thanks for reading my review! Bye!

I thought "Affliction" was a good movie. It was worth watching and the price of the rental. Nick Nolte, in one of his better roles, portrays Wade Whitehouse, a lonely policeman who has a rocky relationship with his young daughter and his girlfriend (Sissy Spacek). One day a man is murdered while deer hunting with his young friend and everyone suspects that it is the young man named Jack who killed him. Wade tries to get to the bottom of the murder but everyone around him gives him hell. And he keeps having flashbacks of his father abusing him and his brother. He goes and visits his father and finds out that his mother has frozen to death and that makes him even more distant from his friends. Wade is very hot-tempered and he kills his father during one of their fights and he burns his body. His girfriend leaves him and his daughter never wants to see him again. This was a very sad and dark film and I thought it was pretty good even though I haven't read the book. The ending was somewhat peculiar but all the actors did pretty good jobs. I sort of expected this to be an action flick but I wasn't disappointed. I would recommend this one to anyone who likes seeing great performances. But thanks for reading my review! Bye!

I absolutely love "True Lies". It has lots of great action and Arnold Schwarzenegger actually does a pretty decent job in it. He plays Harry Tasker, a dangerous spy who tries to keep his profession a secret from his wife of 17 years (Jamie Lee Curtis). I loved all the action scenes, especially the one with Arnie flying the jet when he's trying to rescue his kidnapped daughter. I kinda didn't like her character of Dana. She was a brat and she got on my nerves. But I'm not saying that I wish she would've died. I'm just saying that we could've done without her character. I really liked Jamie Lee Curtis in this movie. She was funny and she sort of played a tough woman in this role. I liked her striptease scene. I wish I could dance like that! But it made me wonder how she couldn't have seen that it was her husband sitting there watching her. It wasn't that dark in the room. Anyways. I also loved the part where Harry and Tom Arnold were questioning her and she got mad and started slamming the stool against the mirror. And the part where Harry was holding on to her with one arm and she was dangling over the water was breathtaking. I'd be screaming too! I thought the funniest performance was that of Bill Paxton. He always plays the whimp who gets beat up or hurt or killed. He kept peeing himself every time he was confronted by Harry. Hilarious! I don't think this movie would've been that good if Bill wasn't in it. Well, all in all I enjoyed "True Lies" and it's a great action movie. This is one I would definitely like to own. But thanks for reading my review! Bye!
