Sorkin's signature dialogue -- smart, rapid fire chatter that packs a punch -- makes this the most engaging poli-sci class you'll ever attend.  Film ReviewCharlie Wilson’s Warby Cynthia Fuchs[21.Dec.07] :. Like The West Wing, Charlie Wilson's War is leftish and glib, entertaining and exasperating, and written by Aaron Sorkin.  Film DVD ReviewCloser (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[7.Apr.05] :. This leads to titillation, judgment, desire, and commerce all around. How Howard Stern. Film ReviewCloser (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[3.Dec.04] :. This leads to titillation, judgment, desire, and commerce all around. How Howard Stern.  Film DVD ReviewMona Lisa Smile (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Mar.04] :. Berkley-educated, Katherine is a 'forward thinker,' a 'bohemian' who believes that education opens doors. Film ReviewMona Lisa Smile (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[18.Dec.03] :. Katherine has her hands full, even aside from looking for romance (though this happens too, as this is, after all, a Julia Roberts movie). Hook (1991)by Jesse Hassenger[15.Sep.03] :. Hook is thoroughly watchable, often amusing, fitfully entertaining. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Jan.03] :.

The Mexican (2001)by Cynthia FuchsOn its good-looking surface (being well-composed and carefully lit), 'The Mexican' is a love story. The Mexican (2001)by Todd R. Ramlow'The Mexican' follows the turbulent near-end of the relationship between hapless Mafia gopher Jerry Welbach (Brad) and his obsessive, psycho-babbling girlfriend Samantha Barzel (Julia), who reduces everything in her life to 'blame-shifting' and others' inability to express their emotions. Notting Hill (1999)by Cynthia Fuchs'The fame thing,' says fictional megawatt movie star Anna Scott, 'isn't really real.' And she should know, since she's played by real-life megawatt movie star Julia Roberts. The fame thing often does seem unreal to people who don't live it, so it's comforting to hear from Anna (or Julia) that it seems unreal to her as well Ocean’s Eleven (2001)by Cynthia FuchsThe background surf, unbuttoned shirt, and look away from the camera -- all this demonstrates just how movie-starness is done. The plot, like I say, is beside the point. Runaway Bride (1999)by Cynthia FuchsI worry about Julia Roberts. I know I don't need to but still, I feel like I can't help it. It's not because she's a particularly convincing performer on or off screen, though she does look distressed or vulnerable much of the time.
