Can't Hardly Wait
This teenage nostalgia flick of graduation woes is best viewed by generation X-ers only. It's laughable, but only because it's relatable. So what's incomprehensible comes off as plain stupid. Not as good as another teen-star-filled counterpart, Clueless, Can't Hardly Wait which is about a class of 1998 graduates, is probably watchable only by class of 1998 graduates (plus or minus a few years). (I pity a movie that targets only such a speck of an audience.)
GRADE: C
Cape Fear
Robert DeNiro scared the crap out of me as he stars as Max Cady, an ex-con seeking revenge on the Bowden family (Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, and daughter Juliette Lewis.) This movie is very eery and somewhat disturbing, with a somewhat suspensful ending. IT's not a bad movie, but I wouldn't recommend it on a stormy night.
GRADE: B
Cast Away
Tom Hanks is superb in this highly innovative (for movies, not tv--since this is post-Survivor) movie about a FedEx employee that gets stranded on an island after a plane crash. Most of the movie is pretty quiet, afterall, he's stuck on a deserted island, but it's interesting and sometimes painful to watch Hanks' character survive off of coconuts, fish, and crab. There's not much I can say about the movie except that if you like Tom Hanks, you'll like this movie. (And who doesn't like Tom Hanks?)
GRADE: B+
Catch Me If You Can
This highly enjoyable cat and mouse caper is even more entertaining knowing that it is based on true events. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as teenage con artist Frank Abnagale Jr. with charming allure and smoothness. Tom Hanks is FBI agent Carl Hanratty who devotes his waking hours (and holidays) to catching Abnagale. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Catch Me If You Can is a fast paced film with a deliciously lucrative performance by DiCaprio.
GRADE: A-
Celebrity
I don't get it. I don't like it. I'm wondering what kind of people might enjoy this movie.
GRADE: F
Center Stage
Remember the 80s? Remember movies that had cheesy lines, mediore plots, and obvious morals and values. Center Stage is definitely one of those movies. I mean this in a good way. Center Stage is about a ballet dancer (Amanda Schull) with bad feet, trying to land a spot in the coveted American Ballet Company. There's more involved: like love interests (Ethan Stiefel and Sascha Radetsky), competition (Susan May Pratt), and supportive, yet rebellious friends (Zoe Saldana). Though Center Stage is not spectacular, it'll make you dance and remember the good ol' days, when movies were mildly made and modest.
GRADE: B
Charlie's Angels
Think James Bond meets Mission: Impossible meets a trio of girls. Charlie's Angels was a fun movie based on the television show. Starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu as female agents for a private investigating firm owned by a guy named "Charlie," this movie finds the girls in a pickle of mess. They are trying to retrieve stolen software that might be put to bad use. The plot gets more complex, but honestly, if you're a guy, you're not paying attention to the plot. If you're a girl, you're probably thinking "I want to be an Angel"....or not. In any case, it's got corny or not dull humor, fun fighting scene a la The Matrix, a few explosions, and a car chase. I wouldn't be surprised or bothered if there's a sequel. It's about time Hollywood made a movie with female action heroes that aren't totally dislikeable.
GRADE: B+
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
Undeniably created for a man, Charlie's Angels 2 is too much giggling, too much unrealistic crime-fighting in too high of stiletto heels. Perhaps I came into this movie expecting to see something believable (the Angels drive a truck carrying a helicopter off a cliff and get into the helicopter and fly off? pfshh!). The premise of this episode (I'm sure there will be more) is the Angels (Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore) recovering 2 rings containing the identities of those under the witness protection program. The rings fall into the hands of ex-Angel, Demi Moore, who plans to sell it off to one of many mob families. I am probably not giving the movie the credit it might deserve, having never seen the TV series, but for me, the movie was too much cacaphony: giggle, kaboom, hi-ya, giggle, bam, AHHHH, giggle, giggle, boom! The end.
GRADE: C+
Chicago
I've seen the musical and I'd say it's pretty hard to screw up a straight-forward musical. But this one goes the extra step and just explodes with a great cast and excellent sets. This movie doesn't simply put a musical on screen, it REALLY puts a musical on screen. I mean it's got all the great music and acting that will keep audiences glued to everything going on and not simply realizing (I could watch this live....). Ok, so the movie's about Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger) who is imprisoned for shooting her lover. In prison, her ambition is to be a bigger celebrity than fellow inmate Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones). With the help of a famous lawyer (Richard Gere) and the warden (Queen Latifah), Roxie battles the media and her dreams to become Chicago's leading celebrity. But will she really??
GRADE: A
Chicken Run
Chicken Run is a very fun and distinct movie brought to you by the guys who created the Oscar-winning Wallace and Gromit claymation shorts. Chicken Run is about a coop of chickens who are attempted escapes from their evil owners. Simple plot, funny and punny humor, very fun claymation, and overall cuteness make Chicken Run loveable for everyone. Perhaps on the more softer side, it should be watched with a light heart and willingness to sit among lots of little kids.
GRADE: B
Chocolat
Chocolat is as sweet, semi-sweet, and dark as chocolate can get. It's got a bit of everything without overdoing it. Juliette Binoche is a nomadic chocolate shop owner whose recent destination is a tranquil, church minded French village. Her flippant and unfamiliar ways upsets the mayor, but she changes many lives for the better including that of an abused wife (Lena Olin) and her landlady (Judi Dench). Then comes the arrival of "pirates" including a handsome Johnny Depp. They bring about even more skepticism from the mayor and ultimately lives are hurt. But will Binoche move again due to adversity or will she finally find a place she can call home? It's a quaint movie that has a little for everyone.
GRADE: A-
City of Angels
This somewhat dull romance movie does not radiate the deep compassion and light comedy that might have been anticipated. Meg Ryan's role as Maggie is not as fulfilling as her roles in Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally. Though her character and Nicolas Cage's click well together in the movie, the movie as a whole does not deliver well. It has a novel plot, but I kept feeling that the director could have done so much more with this movie to make it better.
GRADE: B-

Clueless
Such a well performed mockery of teenage life. Alicia Silverstone is great as a ditzy, materialistic but genuinely good adolescent. I don't know what to say about it, except that its a movie made for anyone, perferably not too out of range with the latest trends and excitements. In other words, if you've lost touch with what's in and out of the '90s, then don't see it.
GRADE: A-
Conspiracy Theory
Good action, romance, comedy, suspense film. Mel Gibson was good, but could have been better. Same for Julia. Still, it was a very satisfying movie and it's very much recommended.
GRADE: B
Contact
This movie gets really heated in its debates on religion vs. science. I thought it was overall exciting, since it attempts to find life beyond Earth. The movie is a lot of talk, but it gets really exciting toward the end. Perhaps you should see the last half of the movie. I dunno. It was exciting in a philosophical way.
GRADE: B
The Contender
The Contender is a high-touting movie about politics and scandal and defaming a person. It's also about morals and integrity and standing to your beliefs. Starring Joan Allen as a contender for the vice-presidency since the former vp died. Jess Bridges is the president who wants to appoint her. Gary Oldman is the committee chairperson that wants to bring her down. Christian Slater is part of the committee that wants to get to the truth behind her scandal. It's not a very dramatic movie, and it just barely holds your attention long enough to know what's going on (kinda like watching the news...you get pieces). I didn't like it or hate it. But the way it was presented, it could be a better book than a movie.
GRADE: C-
The Corruptor
I have loved Chow Yun Fat for the brilliant acting he executes for the many decades he has been in the Asian movie industry, and he is just as superb in The Corruptor, a movie where two different cultures of police officers come together to fight NY Chinatown crime. However, Chow's acting is just about the only thing holding this quite drab and exaggerated movie together. The plot gets too confusing, minor characters are over-emphasized, and then it just seems to get too long.... And as adorable and talented an actor Mark Wahlberg is (he plays Chow's partner), he paled to Chow's acting. Well, what I'm trying to say is that the movie delivers the action and that Chow was awesome, but the plot is too confusing, everyone in the movie seems to try to outdo the next actor, and it starts to drag. (It's 111 minutes long.) I suggest it for Chow, no more.
GRADE: C-
The Count of Monte Cristo
Great movie based on the Alexander Dumas' book of the same name. Jim Caviezel is surperb as the revenge seeking Edmund Dantes, who is framed by his best friend Fernand (Guy Pearce) who also marries his fiancee (Dagmara Dominczyk). I've never read the novel, the no comparison can be made, but for a movie it was really enjoyable to watch. The plot is good movie material because it's got love, action, drama, and revenge. And it's all filmed nicely. A minor pitfall (though perhaps intended by director Kevin Reynolds) is that some scenes were kinda "fuzzy." Not sure if this was done on purpose, but it would have made the movie seem cleaner. Nevertheless, and enjoyable movie.
GRADE: B+
El Crimen del Padre Amaro
A quaint yet soap-ish Mexican film, this is the story of a young, handsome priest (Gael García Bernal)who comes to a small Mexican town where religion is intertwined with politics, sex, and ambition. His own crime is breaking the vow of celibacy with beautiful, young, and ironically pious Amelia (Ana Claudia Talancón). The movie's perks is in its real-life surrounding controversy (Catholic church and celibacy issues, political ties to drug lords, etc.), but watching it can be like watching a made-for cable movie. I liked it because of the plot twists. Didn't like it because the plot twists left a sour taste afterwards. I know, I know....that was a controversial statement.
GRADE: B
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Not only was this subtitled movie beautiful to watch, it had great fighting sequences as well as romance (key ingredients for filling a theater with males and females). Chow-Yun Fat is a semi-retired martial arts master who retires his sword known as the Green Destiny to his friend. But the sword is stolen by a mysterious thief. In returning the sword, you encounter the artful fighting skills of Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Zi-Yi, and Chow-Yun Fat. It's hard to imagine a love story within this skillfully crafted movie, but there is one and its pretty good too. Directed by Ang Lee, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is filmmaking and storytelling at it's best.
GRADE: A
Cruel Intentions
Very twisted. A little bit slow-paced. And later becoming a tad cheesy. Cruel Intentions, starring Ryan Phillippe (Sebastian) and Sarah Michelle Gellar (Kathryn) as conniving step-siblings who try to have fun with sexual conquests and blackmail, is a pretty crude movie, but not fully awful, because there does exist a sappy love story, in which Sebastian falls in love with his latest conquest, Annette (Reese Witherspoon). The dialogue and implications of this movie are very extreme, considering the characters are of high school age. However, it's extremity makes for a pretty new flavor in the trend of monotonously boring, superficial teen-movies these days. Does that make any sense?
GRADE: C-
The Crush
Very psycho. And not a lot of substance either. Just a crazy teen who loves a guy amd will do anything to get him. The movie can be out of whack (not very smart) and it has a tendency to appear too fake. But...it's a psycho thriller, so anything is possible.
GRADE: C-

Daredevil
Another comic book movie (Spiderman, X-Men, Batman, etc.)....but Daredevil wouldn't exactly be mainstream to most people. So, it's essentially just another fun movie with action heroes donning plastic garb and fighting crime on the streets of New York (it's always New York isn't it?). Ben Affleck stars as Matthew Murdock: bad lawyer by day, badass crimefighter at night. What makes his special is that he's blind; and because he's been blind since childhood, his other 4 senses are heightened to a sonar-like level. So he uses sound and scent to "see." His turf is Hell's Kitchen and his nemesis is all the crime caused and lead by Kingpin (Michael Clark Duncan). Kingpin hires hitmen, among them Bullseye (Colin Farrell) to defeat his opponents. Ok ok....so enough about the plot. The movie's about fighting and kicking butt. The chick factor is Jennifer Garner, who is martial arts trained Elektra and daughter of a tycoon. She plays the love interest of Daredevil and fights a couple of fights. The movie is fun to watch, but lacks in substance. The characters are only minimally portrayed and I felt they could have delved deeper into their comic-book psyches. I think the great thing about comic-book movies is that the heroes and villains have such depth. Their motivation to be good or evil often has a deep psychological explanation. But Daredevil doesn't really get into too much of that. The movie skims the surface of a lot of stuff. Ok, that's all.
GRADE: C+
Death To Smoochy
Strange and bizarre, yet predictably dark, Death to Smoochy is the revenge story by Rainbow Randolph (Robin Williams), a defunct children's television star, against squeaky-clean Smoochy (Edward Norton), a Barney-esque rhino. I think the movie is hilarious enough on Norton alone dressing in a rhino costume. But director Danny Devito leaves some tricks up his sleeves by imploying Irish-mob-type people (Pam Ferris). Anyway, mix in a cynical Catherine Keener as a television executive and you've got a movie that's mostly funny cause of the bizarre casting. Without that, I don't think the movie would be very enjoyable.
GRADE: B
The Devil's Advocate
Devilish! And very near Satanic. Keanu plays a "I-can't-lose" lawyer who moves to New York to work for Al Pacino's law firm. His wife goes mental, but he's still focused to win the case he's on. Pacino turns out to be more than just an old law firm owner. The moral at the end of the movie is great, but the movie itself almost makes the NC-17 rating (some scenes are just not in great taste). Yet overall, it's a pretty compelling film.
GRADE: C
The Devil's Own
This movie wasn't upto Brad Pitt or Harrison Ford's usual standards. Why they chose to do this movie I can only guess. Pitt's a bad guy who travels to America to escape other bad guys but he's still a bad guy in America. He houses with Ford's family who ends up getting involved in all this badness. (It's only inevitable.) Not very good, but it's not terribly bad. See it if you're bored or a die-hard Pitt or Ford fan.
GRADE: C+
Die Another Day
I'd say Bond movies are way too cliche: gadgets, fast cars, smart women, slutty women, and of course, all that James Bond Suave. Well, this movie is easily that case. With the exception that Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is sorta betrayed in this episode. So he's captured by the North Korean and tortured, then traded back to the West for a captured North Korean (Rick Yune). His boss, M (Judi Dench), is not a happy camper and was against getting him back. His mission now is to clear find out what the North Koreans are up to, why a British daredevil jeweler is involved, and sleep with Halle Berry, the American intelligence who's also after the North Koreans. Honestly, the plot is so minor when compared with the explosions and car chases. That's why I watched the movie. Sometimes I forget there is a plot going on! Just kidding. But, it really is cliche...and cliche only works for so long before Brosnan decides to stop being Bond.
GRADE: B
Disturbing Behavior
This is a ridiculous movie starring Dawson's Creek's Katie Holmes and James Marsden They ironically portray the Cradle Bay High School "weirdos" who are trying to stop the ironically "perfect" students. The plot is actually not as lame as the movie, but the movie did not perform well. It was predictable and looked like it should have premiered on the small screen. I don't suggest it because it's NOT worth the $3.75 I paid. You'll probably pay more, so dont watch it.
GRADE: D
The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
The memories of youth are what this movie is made of. Chick flick? Yes. Siddalee (Sandra Bullock) and her mother (Ellen Burstyn) have a falling out that was built on years of personal turmoil . Her mother's friends (Maggie Smith, Fionnula Flanagan, and Shirley Knight) intervene in their affairs by kidnaping Siddalee and sharing with her their youth and all the things that made her mother the way she is. The four older women make up the "Ya-Ya Sisterhood" (it takes a girl to fully understand what that is). James Gardner plays Siddalee's gentle and patient father. Angus MacFadyen is her fiance. The movie is sometimes sad, sometimes funny, sometimes happy...all the stuff that makes up family, the bonds between friends, and the relationship between mothers and daughters.
GRADE: B
Double Take
Could a movie's plot be any more twisted? Double Take repeatedly confuses you with who's the good guy and who's the bad one. It stars Orlando Jones as an investment banker who is framed for murder. He runs into Freddie Tiffany (Eddie Griffin), a lowly thief who's as ghetto as they come. Untrusting but in need of help, Jones' character relies on Tiffany to get him to Mexico where he thinks he can allude the framing. Meanwhile, the FBI, CIA, and Mexican police are all looking for Jones and Tiffany. It's a crazy mixed up story that seems to have been created while the movie was being shot. The jokes are mediocre, and worth maybe a few laughs, but that's about it. Strangely, I did find a lot of potential in Jones to be a good actor, so look for him in future movies.
GRADE: C-
Dr. T. and the Women
If there's a movie that is just awful to watch, it would be this one. Dr. T (Richard Gere) is a Texan gynocologist whose life is amongst a bunch of girls: his looney wife (Farrah Fawcett), sister-in-law (Laura Dern), daughters (Kate Hudson and Tara Reid), secretary (Shelley Long), affair (Helen Hunt), etc. The movie is noisy and you never get the gist of the plot. Well, it's obvious that it's trying to say that women are all different and you gotta love us for that, but PLEASE!, say it better. I wanted to walk out of this movie. It wasn't until the last scene that I wish I had walked out. I'll leave you on that, because even though I wouldn't recommend this film, it is almost worth (or not worth!) sneaking in to see the final 5 minutes and why the ratings people should get their heads examined.
GRADE: F+
Dogma
This is Kevin Smith at his analogy-symbolism-reference-making best. What do I mean? Let's just say, this movie explores religion (without defining it) in a very funny, very zany, yet very profane way. Kevin Smith fans should not pass this movie up, and if you're not a fan, I think it is still worth watching. Its cast is pretty impressive too: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Selma Hayak, Linda Fiorentino (Men in Black), and more! Oh yeah, it's about a woman (Fiorentino) who tries to stop two renegade angels (Damon and Affleck) from re-entering Heaven, because if they do, humanity ceases to exist. Interesting enough for ya...?
GRADE: B

Double Jeopardy
This movie's got an interesting and good plot with lots of potential, but the movie just doesn't do it any justice. Ashley Judd plays Libby Parsons, mother and wife convicted of killing her husband. While in prison she finds out that her husband faked his death. She also learns that she can actually kill him without going back to prison because she can't be tried for the same crime twice (hence the name of the movie). Tommy Lee Jones plays her parole officer, Travis Lehman, who's merely doing his job of keeping her on good behavior. Anyways, Jones does his usual better than adequate effort. He reminded me of his role in The Fugitive. But Judd wasn't so hot (in terms of acting). The movie rolls along quite nicely (sans dragging), but it just doesn't reach the potential it could and should reach for such an innovative plot.
GRADE: B-
Dreamcatcher
Talk about a difficult movie to describe. So my friend asked me a simple question: What's Dreamcatcher about? And my answer turned took nearly an hour. First I will tell you that Dreamcatcher is a very ridiculous movie from the very very strange mind of Stephen King. But it's ridiculousness mixed with the fun characters made is rather fun to watch. Second, this is a hodge-podge and very condensed summary of the movie: 4 friends (including a funny Jason Lee), strange telepathic abilities, aliens, snow, worms, militants (including Tom Sizemore), homicidal authority figures (Morgan Freeman), a strange and sickly childhood friend of the other 4 friends, a dog with a maggot, etc. Alright, I'll stop right there....
GRADE: C-
Drive Me Crazy
Plain acting, predictable plot, and all that other stuff that comes with making a low budget teenage movie that should have aired on television make Drive Me Crazy simply redundant. What am I talking about? Well, I saw this movie purely because I wanted to be entertained with a predictable and unrealistic, dreamy teenage scenario. In this one, Melissa Joan Hart teams with Adrian Grenier to play the heartbroken neighbors who try to win back their love interests, only to end up falling for each other. Yup, I just gave away the plot. (Hope you don't mind!)
GRADE: D+
Duets
Duets is a trio of stories about karaoke that ends at a karaoke contest. Without naming all the people in the movie, everyone is unique and special and makes for a beautiful story about life, friendship, and all that good stuff. Directed by Bruce Paltrow (and also starring his daughter Gwyneth), Duets has that Pulp Fiction-Magnolia style storyline where you cut from one story to another. It's got great songs sung with beautiful voices, making you want to belt out during the movie. All in all, it's a quaint movie that may have it's over sentimental and trying moments, but still ends up hitting just the right notes.
GRADE: A-
Elizabeth
This is a great period-piece movie about the intricacies of Queen Elizabeth and her rise to power against her enemies. Cate Blanchett is perfect as the love/religion/loyalty-torn Elizabeth. (She looks exactly like the textbook pictures of Elizabeth and she seemingly plays her well.) The movie does a great job at capturing the ambience of 16th century England. Nevertheless, I was confused by the plot and the movie didn't clarify it very well. But it's still worth seeing because it is truly a well-crafted film. Also stars Geoffrey Rush, Joseph Fiennes, and Richard Attenborough.
GRADE: A-
Enemy at the Gates
Enemy at the Gates stars a Russian sharpshooter (Jude Law) who is proclaimed a hero by a political officer (Joseph Fiennes) to stir the pride of the downtrodden Russian during World War II. Rachel Weisz plays Law's love interest. The two have a gratiutous sex scene that's kinda funny, but mostly unnecessary. Ed Harris is a German sharpshooter who is out to find and kill Law. I enjoyed this movie because it kept me in suspense every time Harris was about to shoot Law and vise versa; there's a lot of those scenes. But I didn't like how the suspense began to drag with every new scene. Anyways, the movie is exciting and....based on a true story...yay!
GRADE: B+
Enemy of the State
This movie was intensely beautiful. Will Smith was brilliant as Robert Dean, a man whose life is ruined when he is framed by a corrupt intelligence official. He basically tries to clear his name and find out what he is framed for and who exactly is framing him. The plot, directing, and cast of this movie was all-around well chosen. I definitely recommend it!
GRADE: A
Entrapment
Sean Connery and Catherine-Zeta Jones are an interesting combination in this twisting, though not completely confusing, movie about stealing, lying, trusting, spying, and, of course, entrapment. The movie sets up with one hiest (which was not very fun to watch) and then a bigger hiest (which puts the movie into high-in-the-air excitement). The movie has a workable plot, but it never reaches its full potential.
GRADE: B-

Erin Brockovich
Julia Roberts is great as Erin Brockovich, a twice divorced mother of 3 who gets hit by a car, loses her case against the driver, ends up working for the lawyer that represented her, and stumbles on a case about polluted water in a small town from a billion dollar corporation. Based on a true story, Julia plays sassy, skin revealing Erin, fighting for the people of Hinkley to have a say about how the polluted water has damaged their health. A great performance as well by Albert Finney who plays her lawyer/boss. There's nothing bad to say about Erin Brockovich (she'd probably kick my butt if I did), except that it's a straight-forward tale. Sometimes I wish they'd get more indepth about things, other times you just want the movie to speed up. But it's as pleasant as a home-cooked meal with a bit of zing (whatever that means).
GRADE: A-
Ever After: The Cinderella Story
A flawless performance by Angelica Houston as the evil stepmom is what really got to me in this beautiful, but non-traditional story of Cinderella. Drew Barrymore stars as the forced labor of her stepfamily after her widowed father dies. She befriends and eventually falls in love with the French prince (the story takes place in France) under unlikely circumstances, but the rest end up pretty much as you'd expect: "happily ever after". I enjoyed the movie for its nonconventional plot and how evil Houston was (have you seen Witches?!). It might be hard to become wrapped up in the "prim and proper" language of the movie, but the story and acting is likely is entertain you.
GRADE: B+
Evolution
Funny funny movie. David Duchovny and Orlando Jones are two community college professors/scientists who come across a meteor in a small Arizona town. Alien organisms start to evolve from single to multi-celled creatures and the underground of the town is quickly overrun with the weird creatures. Seann William Scott stars as the goofie guy who first finds the meteor and Julianne Moore is the government scientist and love interest of Duchovny. The movie is really kick back and just fun cheeseball humor. Enjoy!
GRADE: B+
The Exorcist
This is one prime horror movie. The story of a celebrity's daughter being possessed by a demon and then getting an exorcist to get the demon out of her is a very basic and fun to work with plot. The Exorcist lives up to being pure freakiness and gruesome. It's not an ultimate horror flick, but if you start thinking of realistic possibilities, then it's pretty "terror-fic."
GRADE: B
Eye of the Beholder
This eerie and psychological movie was not as bad as I anticipated. Perhaps on the surface, the movie gives the impression that it will be exciting and action-packed, but it isn't. From he first ten minutes of the movie, you're expected to enjoy it, but find out that you either don't (like the audience I was with) or you do (like me, to a certain extent). Ewan McGregor plays what you could describe as an introverted James Bond who never gets the girl. He's a private eye who lost his wife and daughter because of the life he lives and is haunted by the loss. He becomes obsessed with watching a criminal (Ashley Judd), and follows her everywhere. It's a pathetic love story, but still sad. You'll either like it or hate it.
