Good score as well!!

I don't mean to offend anyone by saying Zeta-Jones is not a beauty, but I like women who have figures and are easy on the eyes.

DjC - Sorry about bashing CASINO, but I thought it was just a total load of crap and a pathetic excuse for a movie. I mean, how many times can we see DeNiro play the exact same damn character over and over and over and over, see someone keep beat up with a bat or pipe or whatever it was, and see someone's head in a vise (unless it's a Stooge)? Nice to see Joe Bob Briggs in another feature film, though.

robin4 - She's just got this face that makes me cringe whenever I see it, especially when she smiles. YIKES!! But, on the bright side, I didn't always find her unattractive. When I first saw THE PHANTOM, I thought she was absolutely beautiful, but now that she's a little older, I cringe everytime I see her.

NP : Jurrasic Park

To this I reply bite your tongue...right off!

She was just dealt a lousy hand last year in terms of movies and relationships...but that's another story.

Phantom Menace, defentely good.

Scott

In addition to what I said earlier, what do you mean a little older? She's only 30!!

SBD - TALENTED!! Have you seen THE HAUNTING and ENTRAPMENT? Enough said. And I have nothing against Denise Richards. I just think she's a terrible actress, but that doesn't mean I don't like her. Or, should say, that doesn't mean I don't like LOOKING at her.

Peter M - Yes, I have seen THE PROFESSIONAL (aka LEON), and I absolutely love it. I simply mentioned her because, unfortunately, the movie she'll now always be remembered for is THE PHANTOM MENACE, and she was absolutely terrible in it. Well, that and the fact that she's got a rather good-sized ego.
