- 7612: Movie: Pretty Woman
- Movie: Pretty Woman Whenever i hear the words Pretty Woman i can't help thinking of the old song "Pretty Woman". This movie gives anall new meaning to these words. Now it isn't "just" the title of a song, from when our parents were born. The film has made me understand these words as being something as American as canbe ... to myself: "My god, that's just typical for those Americans". The film and it's characters gives me an excellent picture (maybe a little exaggarated) of today's America. The film isn't a new story. It is a rewrite of the famous adventure about Cinderella.

- 7614: Review of "Saving Private Ryan"

As we see it, it's stricken of color and flickers oddly on-screen, with the stuttering-shutter ... equated to the known value of comrades in arms and proven friends. It makes as little sense as anything in the war, and Reiben is the spokesman for this absurdity. But every moment demands a new accounting: A machine gun post must be assaulted to save troops advancing from the rear, while a little French girl can't be protected because she puts the mission in jeopardy.
