At the weekend I mamanged to see "THE LEGEND OF ZORRO"...I loved the first "Zorro" movie and I think that Banderas/Zeta-Jones are a good choice for the parts of Don Alejandro and Elena de la Vega... Now, I wasn't disappointed by part 2 at all. It's a great full speed action comedy with many elements like in the "Indiana Jones" movies as well as a bit of the dramaturgy of James Bond...a lot of action ( excellent fighting scenes ) spiced with humour and thrill. Maybe this is no coincidence because the director is Martin Campbell who is the director of "Golden Eye" and the new Bond movie "Casino Royale". On a scale from 0 - 10 I'd rate it with "8"...and absolutely worth seeing if you like this kind of movies. I agree dreamy. Any one that enjoyed the first Zorro movie won't be dissapointed with The Legend of Zorro. My rating would be a 7.5.

I watched 'Dear Frankie' this afternoon and really liked it, would recommend it, a really good unpredictable film about normal everyday people. and it has Gerard Butler #ssmile# Plot Summary for Dear Frankie (2004) Nine-year-old Frankie and his single mum Lizzie have been on the move ever since Frankie can remember, most recently arriving in a seaside Scottish town. Wanting to protect her deaf son from the truth that they've run away from his father, Lizzie has invented a story that he is away at sea on the HMS Accra. Every few weeks, Lizzie writes Frankie a make-believe letter from his father, telling of his adventures in exotic lands. As Frankie tracks the ship's progress around the globe, he discovers that it is due to dock in his hometown. With the real HMS Accra arriving in only a fortnight, Lizzie must choose between telling Frankie the truth or finding the perfect stranger to play Frankie's father for just one day... I'm going to have to find that one! It sounds like a good one for me.

I loved the film and would also recommend it! Of course it helps that Gerard Butler is in it...

Dear Frankie! It only took me almost a week and 5 different trips to the video rentals to find it. What a wonderful movie!

Krystal ,I really enjoyed the "Whole Nine Yards" too. Have you seen the sequel "The Whole Ten Yards" yet? I've only seen bits and pieces of it so far.
