I watched Freedom Writers with Hilary Swank.

Fresh-faced, idealistic twenty-three-year-old Erin Gruwell (Hilary Swank) is ready to take on the world as she steps inside Wilson High School for her first day of teaching. Her class, a diverse group of racially charged teenagers from different walks of life -- African Americans, Latinos, Asians, juvenile delinquents, gang members, and underprivileged students from poor neighborhoods -- hope for nothing more than to make it through the day. On the surface, the only thing they share is their hatred for each other and the understanding that they are simply being warehoused in the educational system until they are old enough to disappear. Despite her students' obstinate refusal to participate during class, Erin tries various means to engage them on a daily basis.

It is a good movie and it is a true story so it makes you think big time. I am glad I am here and not in L.A.

Yesi

The only reason why I wouldn't watch this (though I probably will) is that I made the mistake of watching that Michelle Pfiffer movie which looks A LOT like this one and it just pissed me off: same old story: pretty white chick comes to the ghetto and inspires loser black/hispanic/(insert your race here) kids who don't know that they can do something better with their lives. It just sounds like another piece of americana to me.

Same reason why I'm not interested in that movie either!!!
I TAKE IT ALL BACK... There. I said it. I was sooooooooo wrong about this movie. I watched it on Friday and it made such an impression on me. So NOT the Michelle Pfeiffer crap I was expecting. Very touching and all true. I loved loved loved loved absolutely loved this movie. I give it chorromil hispanics/cambodians/blacks/goodwhiteys out of 10.

Wow i can't believed u said that before, i saw this movie like 3 times, I also liked it a lot.

Watched "Knocked Up" last night.

El Pibe loved it and me.......... It was ok. Maybe I didn't like it because it was midnight and the movie still wasn't done and I was hungry.

I give it a 2.5 out of 5.

Yeah I'd give 3.5

It had quite a few funny parts, but it did seem to drag on for a bit. It could have done without some of the "filler" crap that some movies do.

There could be a IV.....but not a guarantee. A lot of the plot was resolved....but I guess if they can extend a plotless movie like Rocky...anything is possible.

But anyway, like I was saying on that other boring thread () I watched a gay movie last night. Well, I watched parts, 'cause I fell asleep in some parts. I don't think the actors knew the movie was really, really gay. It wasn't marketed as a gay flick. But, boy, was it ever gay.

It's called 300.

VHAT??????

You have got to be kidding me!! That movie is soooooooooooooooo not gay! Just cuz it has sweaty buff guys running around in just their unmentionables and just b/c they are all willing to die for each and perfer the company of men over women, does NOT mean they are gay

Maybe it 'turned' Mr. Buffy.

Ay, MiMi, just because Dogo/Baina/McCo fell so easily for your enticing ways doesn't mean everyone will...

He probably IS a really good actor, but he's just sooo good in Casino Royale. Like I said, I'm not a big Bond fan, so I don't have much to compare it to, but it was just so much fun to watch.

@ Yesi: No idea. I know it's a remake or something, but I dunno.
