5.0 out of 5 stars One of my top 3 favorite cds of all time!, Jun 23 2004
Kenny Chesney is definitely a force to be reckoned with. He is by far a musical genius and proves that once again in his albumn "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem." This cd has such a wide variety of songs that it is hard to put into words how great it is. This cd has songs that will make you want to be laying on a beach with not a care in the world (No Shoes, No shirt...), will make you just want to get up and dance (Big Star), and some will even bring that warm fuzy feeling in your heart (The Good Stuff & On The Coast of somewhere beautiful). Muscially and especially vocally this cd nails it. For those of you Kenny Chesney fans out there this is a must have in his collection. There is not a single track on this cd that I would say is any worse than any others. Trust me, you will love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Keeps you guessing, Jun 23 2004
...that's for sure! This movie really does keep you guessing until the very end. Just when you think you have it all figured out, you don't and are very far from the truth. It has so many twists in the plot that you really do have to pay close attention to it the first time you watch it or you will miss something vital to understanding the ending. I liked it mainly because I thought I had it figured out but when the end came I was totally wrong. I enjoy movies that are unpredictable, which this one most definitely is. The movie is cast well. It includes Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, Kevin Bacon, Denise Richards, and even Bill Murrey. I think as far as casting goes the actors were prefct for the parts. Matt and Kevin play somewhat bad guys, which don't they usually. Neve Campbell plays a strange girl from the wrong side of the tracks and just nails the part. I like this movie and would recommend it to those that like a good ending and maybe some of you that want to see Neve Campbell making out with Denise Richards. Not my favorite part, but I know many guys would enjoy that scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kenny Chesney scores again!, Jun 23 2004
I am in love with Kenny Chesney. I not only think he is very attractive but I just love his music. This cd is the type that will honestly make you want to be at the beach. Many of the songs are heartfelt, yet others are just plain fun. I have never been a big fan of Uncle Kracker but in " When the Sun Goes Down," he sings wonderfully with Kenny. That song is a perfect duet between the two different singers. The song "There Goes My Life," is enough for any sappy girl to get teary eyed. It puts some reality behind teen pregnancy, even though I know there are situations that turn out much worse than his did. The song "I go back," is just fun to listen to and sing along with. I am still fairly young, 19, and I still think back to my highschool days when I hear that song. Now, for my mother, she thinks back to her highschool days and it means a lot more than me thinking back only a short year. Kenny Chesney has a wonderful voice and his music is just fun and inspiring. If you like country and you enjoy Kenny Chesney's other music this cd will not fail you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best but not the worst, Jun 23 2004
This movie is simply about aliens from Mars attacking the planet Earth. Now there have been a lot of these type of movies but this movie adds a lot of humor to the horror of the world being destroyed. The animation of the aliens is very humorous, even though they are a little freaky looking. This movie has an absolutely excellent cast with names such as Jack Nicholson (President, Glenn Close (First Lady), Annette Bening (Barbara), Pierce Brosnan (Professor Donald Kessler), Danny DeVito (Rude Gambler, Martin Short (Press Secretary Ross), Sarah Jessica Parker (Nathalie), Natalie Portmant, Michael J. Fox, and many more. This movie is just jam-packed with famous stars that movie buffs alike have grown to love. For this type of movie you wouldn't think this many stars are in it but they are and they make the movie that much better. I think this movie is funny but perhaps a little stupid too. However, Tim Burton is a movie genius and is known for his wonderful movies yet weird ways also. This is a movie that I like, but I don't like that I like it. It seems like it would be such a stupid movie but it definitely grows on you, which makes it good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good, Jun 21 2004
I have to admit that when I first saw the ads for this movie I thought it looked dumb. I love Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore so I decided to see it anyway once it came out onto video. I found it very good! It is very cute and very funny with an ending that is to die for. The ending surprised me but in a good way. The ending definitely does not fit the cookie cutter pattern for hollywood endings but that is one of the best parts of the movie. There is no doubt that Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have a lot of Chemistry on screen. They work very well together and make the plot seem very real, yet still keeps its humor and charm. I recommend this one to adults and to children as well. This is a good "movie night for the family" movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, Jun 21 2004
This movie is extremely funny that even one of the dullest people I know laughed during it. It is about a guy (Ben Stiller) who analyzes clients for insurance companies, so therefore his work carries over into his daily life and he analyzes every single thing he does. He gets married to a woman (Debra Messing), the sure bet, but on their honeymoon the "sure bet" turns out to be a mistake after he catches her sleeping with her scuba instructor. He returns home and finds an old friend of his from school, Polly (Jennifer Aniston), who does anything but analyze the things she does. These two opposite people begin to see each other and it just turns out hilarious. The ending is great, if you love the typical happy ending of the story. This movie will keep you laughing throughout it's entirty and I recommend it for all to see.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movies!, Jun 21 2004
I just saw the Harry Potter movies recently, after they have been out for months. I never understood the obsession people had with watching these movies but when I watched them I finally got it. They are so cute and so creative. I just absolutely loved them and I am very glad I gave them a chance, which originally I wasn't going to do. I think they are great for kids and adults. They take you into a world of enchantment and magic. Most movies that I have seen attempt this fail. The movies bring out the creative and dreamy side in everyone, not just children. It has a mystery story plot, yet has a great deal of humor in it too. I usually do not like mysteries at all but these movies keep you guessing until the end and I love that. I highly recommend them for adults, children, everyone! Take it from someone who never had any desire to see them and who finally did, if you watch these movies you too will fall in love.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not pleased, Jun 21 2004
When I left after seeing this movie I have to say I was honestly not impressed at all. I thought it was boring and just plain weird. I left the theater thinking "what the hell was that". I thought the plot was just stupid and there were certain scenes that were simply unnecessary. Some scenes look as if they were just thrown in there to add time to the movie so the movie wasn't only 30 minutes. The opening is probably the most boring since there is about 15 minutes of nothing except a man walking around an empty city. I understand that was used to show that everyone died but for goodness sakes did it have to seem like it went on for days? I got the point after about 2 minutes of it. I did not like it and do not recommend it to people usless they really really like the zombi coming back to life and killing humans so they can live thing. I think this is a movie you either love or hate, there is no in between and for me it is all hate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christina is Reborn!, Jun 21 2004
This review is from: Stripped (Audio CD)
I love this cd! It is very inspiring and deff enpowering. There is not a single song on the albumn I can honestly say I do not enjoy. Whenever I have a bad day I put this on my radio and just blast it and sing with it, and when the cd is over I honestly feel better. For people who doubt this cd and say it is trash perhaps you do not get the theme of the songs she is singing. She has changed from this young pop icon that people expected because of the Britney Spears fanaticism. Britney Spears has drastically changed her image through her albumns and with Stripped Christina has done that as well. She has done music that represents everything she stands for, even if it is at times a little "trashy" as one critic said. However, Christina is at a phase in her career where she is putting it all out on the line to be herself and that is why I think this cd is so wonderful. I would strongly recommend it to any person, women especially, who like to be empowered and just feel great after singing along to a wonderful cd.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just plain yuck, Jun 16 2004
Now I love a good comedy and I can even handle a lot of vulgar things but Bad Santa is extremely vulgar and is shown in a very poor way. I hated this movie. I went to see it thinking it would at least be funny but I maybe laughed once throughout the entire showing. I think it is disgusting, especially Billy Bob Thornton playing a drunken, depressed, and just plain gross mall Santa Claus. I don't quite understand the fat kid in the movie or why an attractive woman would fall for such a disgusting man, even if he is a "naughty santa". It is depressing and very unrealistic. I hated this movie but I think that many people like it. I would recommend this movie if you are into the sleezy and very vulgar type of comedy, which I know many are. This movie you either love or you hate.
