Highly recommend the Julia Roberts movie titled
Erin Brokovich
if y'all havent seen it yet. Based on a true story, and she is a single mom with 3 kids
:D
Yes, I enjoyed the movie. Julie R. plays the part great.
One of the few I have sat through with my fiance and didn't "doze" off.

It is a thoroughly enjoyable movie. It appeals to my sense of justice, though nothing can restore the health to those people. Too many incidents like this, environmental contamination, have happended in America, and other movies have been made about them. Though I forget the title, there was one about milk and dairy cows contaminated by fertilizer. It starred Ron Howard and Art Carney.
Back to Erin Brockovich, my favorite part was the end when she got her bonus check. That part might be fictional, but it sure was funny.
Incidentally, the real Erin Brockovich is in the movie briefly. She plays the waitress at the beginning of the movie. I saw here on a story about the movie. She was portrayed accurately, including the way she dresses (even if Julia Roberts couldn't quite fill her shoes and other items of apparel).

Bitter Harvest. Early 80's, I think.

Oh, man...
I ordered that movie yesterday on PPV. After watching it for 30min, I felt asleep. This movie is way too boring.

My girlfriend dragged me along to see that movie and I defenetly did not like it. I think A Civil Action is much better ;)

Good movie.
I saw Almost Famous the other day and that was really good.
Also, if you're in the mood for a cute dog movie watch My Dog Skip. I'm a sucker for animals!
