Posted: 12/12/04 at 7:10pmKirsten Dunst, really? I thought she was awful in Eternal Sunshine (the movie's only major flaw).

Posted: 12/12/04 at 7:11pmAu contraire, I think she gave one of the best performances in the film. It was certainly the best performance of her career. I'm not exactly a fan of hers, but I was very impressed. Updated On: 12/12/04 at 07:11 PM

Posted: 12/12/04 at 8:23pm"The Girl Next Door" was a GREAT movie. I was expecting something totally different than what it was.

He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Michael Pitt all the way - he's fantastic.

'"The Girl Next Door" was a GREAT movie. I was expecting something totally different than what it was.'
I agree. That, "Saved!", and especially "Mean Girls" are three of the best teen comedies in recent memory.

Posted: 12/13/04 at 10:30amI don't care much for the under 25 set, except for maybe Natalie Portman.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

I LOVED Girl Next Door. I watched that movie like four times when I rented it. There was something very charming about it. Elisha Cuthbert was very well cast in it.
I think Emile Hirsch is a very talented actor. Rent Alter boys, it was his first movie and I remembered to remember his name.
It's worth a shot/ :)

Posted: 12/13/04 at 3:57pmI didn't quite love "The Girl Nex Door", but I did LOVE Napolean Dynomite and I am dying to see "Finding Neverland" and "Limmeny Snicket..". I also loved Mean Girls and Eternal Sunshine!

The only Kirsten performance that was anything worth watching was in The Virgin Suicides. But Mean Girls? Bored me to a pile of crap, again. I watched about ten minutes and turned it off. Not even Lohan was that good.
Sorry, I'm really picky about what I like. Can't help it.
