National Treasure

Allmost a perfect score. (Not that I have a system, but...) Action, mystery, suspense. This movie kept me at the edge of my seat all the time. The actors perform beautifully. The effects are integrated seamlessly into the picture, and not the other way around.
A wonderfully achieved movie, no wonder the first time I tried to rent it it was completely rented-out. At least that meant I saw it for free. Even though it didn't cost me a penny, it was worth every cent I 'would' have paid.
Definetly reccomended.

Spanglish

When people speak in spanglish, it is difficult to understand what point is the person trying to make. Specifically because of the constant change between languages which is often a bad choice of words. In the movie, the characters interact in often funny ways. There are many comments and conversations that are quite hilarious. Other times, the mood is supposed to be sentimental, but the unstable personality of the main characters often result in this becoming an awkward moment.
It is a sweet movie, and it has it good times. Too bad the ending is so bad.
