Spider-Man (2002)
Dragged out love story.
My husband & I saw Spiderman last night. Very disappointing! My husband thought so too. I think we need to stop listening to others opinions b/c we get so hyped up based on what people say, & then get let down. The movie seemed to drag on forever. Why do they feel they have to add those stupid love stories that drag out & take over the entire movie? (Just like they did with Star Wars II). They believe they need to add this to get women/girls interested, when we are just as or even more interested in the action stuff as the men. My husband feels the same way. I'm well aware this is based on a comic strip & all comic strips include the hero, a villain, & a love interest, but does the love interest need to take over the entire movie? From the beginning he was telling us how he was in love with this girl since the 1st grade. An action film needs to stay an action film. Tobey Maguire was an excellent choice as Spiderman. His innocence mixed well with the discovery of his new power. No doubt the special effects were awesome & I could watch him climb & swing forever. It's absolutely worth watching for the effects & his custom....GGGRRRRRR!!!
The Counterfeit Contessa (1994)
Cute...
Very cute "Lifetime" type movie about Gina (Tea Leoni), a girl who by accident ends up impersonating the life of an Italian Contessa in order to get closer to the man of her dreams, Sinclair (David Beecroft), a man who visits her shop from time to time. I have seen this movie twice and think Tea Leoni gets cuter everytime. You can't help but keep watching just to see how Gina gets out of the situation she has put herself in. If nothing else is on except this movie, I highly suggest giving it a chance.
