Burned a little, too.

Woohoo…so I’m not the only one who likes The English Patient. Before I duck and run, here’s another list of popular movies I didn’t quite like:

Coyote Ugly  
Hollow Man  
Starship Troopers  
Charlie’s Angels  
Jerry Maguire

Can’t agree enough here! I know I’m not a typical teenager, but I still can’t see why _anyone_ likes these.

I never could tolerate exposure to Austin Powers 2. The original was a clever parody of spy movies in general. It’s sequel was nothing more than sophomoric toilet humor.

I thought Titanic would have been more powerful if it had toned the love story down a bit. The scenes in that movie that I find powerful, and moving, have nothing to do with a drifter and a first class girl who happen to fall in love.

I don’t know if this counts, but I rented _Rated X_, with **Charlie Sheen** and **Emilio Esteves**. It’s about the Mitchell brothers, who owned the O’ Farrell porn theater in San Francisco. I’d read a little about these characters, and was prepared to dislike the movie.  
To my surprise it wasn’t bad at all. Pretty factual, and very well done.  
I don’t know anyone else who’s seen it, but I’ll recommend the movie to those who haven’t.  
It is, of course, sexually pretty graphic.  
Peace,
