The Final Season -- My guess is that movie critics hated this movie about a small-town high school team. I liked it. It wasn't phenomenal (wooden characters, predictable plot lines), but mark me down as someone who likes feel-good movies about sports. I'd watch it again. And Rachel Leigh Cook is cute in a business suit. Most girls are.

After Sex -- I probably should've realized that this movie was a series of vignettes of...post-coital couples. Some of them were well-done, others yawners. The first two actresses somehow both looked like Rachel McAdams on screen. Score points there.. And Emmanuelle Chiriqui is a great actress. Other than that, the fast forward button got used frequently.

Blow Dry -- If I recall correctly, I saw this movie in theaters a few months after 9/11 with some friends at Rice. This movie ranges from over-the-top satire to feel-good sappiness; in other words, it was a good movie to see at the time. I recall that we came to the cinema to watch something else, but it was sold out, so I talked folks into Blow Dry. Believe it or not, I don't think I knew at the time it had Rachael Leigh Cook in it.
