"Gods and Generals" was annoying and sappy--if you want a Civil War movie, go rent "Glory" and be done with it.

I hated "American Beauty"--how was that Oscar material? I know Americans are famous for their soulless materialism but are we really supposed to believe that this exaggerated example represents us?

I didn't see the point of "the Piano", either. I mostly watched it for the costumes (I'll watch nearly anything for the costumes). I attempted to watch "Gangs of New York" last night, for Daniel Day-Lewis's sake, but I hate Leonardo Di Caprio and Cameron Diaz and lost interest after about 10 minutes. I got bored during "Dances With Wolves", too. It doesn't take much action to entertain me and I STILL thought it was dull. Kevin Costner always gives me the impression that he's playing himself and the rest of the movie must conform to him.

My mother made me watch that Disney movie about mustangs ("Spirit"?). I'm WAY too old for Disney. I love horses and can't stand to see them drawn so poorly. They destroyed a locomotive (I love trains, too).

And I don't like "Clockwork Orange".
