Achtung_Baby007

This may be one of the best films I have ever seen. It provides thrills and style, but contains haunting psychological aspects, too. It is an example of excellent character development. Nikita, the main character, is frightening in some scenes, and endearing in others. The lead actress gives a stunningly good performance. Every actor is great, no matter how small the role. Every character is a three-dimensional one. Nikita begins as a tough, unfeeling street punk. She remains tough throughout the film, but at the same time, she is a tender, passionate soul. I loved the romance story, it was sweet, but realistic. A brilliant, simply brilliant, film.

I saw the episode about the bulimic girl, played by Calista Flockhart, in health class. It provided a visceral, graphic look into eating disorders and stayed with me a while. The whole vomit-in-the-closet thing was disgusting. The movie overall showed the horrifying reality of bulimia in an excellent way.

"The Matrix Reloaded" was highly entertaining. It wasn't an oscar winner, but it was well above average. The action sequences were all fantastic, especially the freeway scene! The acting was good, and the romance was nice. The only thing I didn't like was that ten-minute freaky dance scene. It would have been cool for three minutes, but it started to grate on my nerves. Overall, however, this movie was a high-octane, very entertaining film!
