Sleepless in Seattle
This is a classic?
Lulled me to sleep from boredom
Just rent You’ve Got Mail

Gladiator
Vicious, violent fights
Russell Crowe proves his actor chops
Script needs some edits

America’s Sweethearts
Really, really bad
Makes Cusack look amateur
Go away Crystal

Glory
Broderick. Freeman.
Does it get any better?
You’ll need the Kleenex

Barbershop
I can’t even watch
I may gouge out my eyes soon
Cedric needs to stop

To Kill a Mockingbird
A flat-out classic
Gregory Peck is perfect
Slow, but worth the wait

Air Force One
It's improbable
Harrison Ford, our leader?
It's worth two hours
