Miss Congeniality (2000)

“Miss Congeniality” is the movie that showed me just what a great actress Sandra Bullock is. I’d always liked her, but after this film, I really, really liked her. She stars as Agent Gracie Hart, a hard-working FBI agent who doesn’t believe in the traditional mores of femininity. She dresses like a man, doesn’t take care of herself, and is seen as “one of the guys” by her fellow agents.

It’s been a little quiet here in Movies this week, but every movie I reviewed was a winner–you can’t go wrong with any of my selections this time around. First, I really enjoyed “The Pursuit of Happyness.” Starring Will Smith as a man who can’t seem to support his family, try though he may, you’ll be inspired by our main character’s determination and drive. He rose above his poverty-stricken life to become one of the most successful stock brokers in our nation’s history. “I Could Never Be Your Woman” stars Michelle Pfeiffer as a mature television writer who gets tangled … Continue reading →

The Net (1995)

“The Net” is a suspense thriller about what can happen when you get a little too close to the Internet. Sandra Bullock stars as Angela Bennett, a computer software analyst whose life revolves around her computer. She tests software all day, her friends are people she meets in chat rooms, and she even orders her dinner, pizza, online. She doesn’t know very many “real” people, even her neighbors – her entire life is wrapped up in her computer. She’s decided to break out of her mold and take a vacation in Mexico. She’s earned it. Just before she leaves, a … Continue reading →
