'Tristan and Isolde' Makes Love, Not Sense
by Jennifer Conlee, co-news editor
If ever there was a movie
that did not need good acting or a good plot to draw people to it, “Tristan
and Isolde” is that movie.
For
those looking for the Arthurian myth of two ill-fated lovers brought
together by fate and magic, moviegoers may be severely disappointed.
However, those wanting a simple romance and a little war without too much
blood or nudity, along with beautiful actors, have found their show.
Gay Cowboy Flick Becomes Award-Winning Blockbuster
by Ray Buffington, editor-in-chief
Romance, drama, horse
riding, and handsome gay cowboys. Now, that is what I call a good movie.
“Brokeback Mountain,” directed by Ang Lee, who is known for his work on
“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” is about two cowboys who meet while
looking for work. They are assigned to sheep-herding, alone, atop a mountain
deemed Brokeback for the summer.
Being
isolated from the world, except for each other and the sheep, Jack, played
by Jake Gyllenhaal, and Ennis, played by Heath Ledger, have nothing to
entertain themselves except each other.
'Memiors' Beautiful Portrayal of Destiny
by Giovanni Rosendo, associate editor
There are several movies
out that one must see. But at the top of that list would have to be
“Memoirs of a Geisha.”
This
film had a highly satisfying plot and was visually stimulating. Director
Rob Marshall, who brought “Chicago” to the theaters, was responsible for
this masterpiece.

'The Producers' Makes Easy Transition to Big Screen
by Jennifer Conlee, co-news editor
If you take the worst play
ever written, the worst director in New York City, and a full cast of
horrible actors, you should get the worst flop on Broadway.
At
least, that was the thinking of Max Bialystock in the recently released
movie-version of “The Producers.”

What You Think
