Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
This action film is choreographed like a ballet

I hate martial arts movies. I love ballet and dance. And as I enjoyed this movie, I kept wondering if the Fort Worth Dallas performance of the Nutcracker Suite that I would be seeing the next night would be half as beautifully choreographed. (It was.)

The Lady and the Duke
(Worth seeing just for the Bedroom Scene)

I never liked history. Perhaps if we had been shown movies like the Lady and the Duke instead of having to read boring books, I would have felt differently.

Saving Silverman Saved The Day
Sometimes silly is just what you need. Review by Madelyn Miller.

Sometimes things happen at the right time. I don't usually choose silly movies, and if I had read the synopsis I am not sure I would have rushed out to see Saving Silverman. But luckily, in the line of duty, I decided to see it. It had been a bad day. My divorce was not going well, my computer was acting up, I had forgotten to pay a bill, and well....we all have those kind of days...
