South Park belongs to those who love it. Many people don't. That's their problem. I love it, so I will write a positive remark.

The episodes are great, but the movie is better. Stone and Parker saved the best jokes for the film and it has an intelligent storyline too. Basically the film makes fun of itself. The whole thing about violence and cursing being bad for young children is depicted beautifully. Problem with South Park is that after an episode of 20 minutes you're bound to have enough. That is why they made a number of beautiful songs to break the tension and liven things up. That is what makes this movie so great. And get a load of the special effects. They're amazing. Whoah!

Who says Disney is the only good animator? Move in Dreamworks. Antz was released ahead of schedule to beat Disney's "A Bug's Life" to it. I have not seen "A Bug's Life" at this point so I will refrain from making a comment about it.

I will comment about "Antz", because it cracked me up. That movie was so funny. The animations are good to. Maybe not as good as Disney's but they get by.

Worth the mention are the vocal talents of Woody Allen, Sylvester Stallone, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman & Jennifer Lopez. They make this movie come alive.

You want to see a good animated feature? Get this one, now!

Seldom have I seen such a heart warming movie. Sure, it's been done once before in "Stand By Me", but giving the leads to girls instead of boys raises a different perspective. The four young actresses give superb performances. The story of four girls in the early 1970's is about growing up and standing on your own two feet. That is something all the girls have problems with, but of course they succeed... as in most lives. Too bad though that the performances of the young actresses are wasted by the older actresses (Demi Moore, Melanie Griffith, Rita Wilson & Rosie O'Donell). They star in the beginning and end, making only the middle worthwhile. Their acting is corny, but that also has something to do with the script and directing. Watch it anyway, 'cause the middle of the movie is a beautiful experience. Not just for women and girls, but also for men and boys.
