Your Money Watch the movie once‚ twice‚ then a third time‚ and realize how disgraceful the movie is. Fueling the Fire‚ directed by Tanja Mairitsch‚ is like a bundle of boringness and sleeping pills‚ wrapped in a blanket. Released in 2002‚ this twenty two minute film has won three film festival awards. An appropriate rating to give this PG 13 movie would be a three out of ten. Not only is the movie tiring because of its lack of interest‚ but it should get the worst movie of the century award. Why

Film Response It’s always hard to pick a single favorite movie‚ because there are so many good ones. If I had to pick a favorite it would be a toss up between Gladiator‚ and Old School.

In my opinion Gigli had a bad plot‚ bad acting‚ and was to long. I recently have seen the Client which was writer by John Grissim. The Client was originally
