    White Chicks is one of my favorite comedies of all time. Never fails to crack you up, and I don't think people realize how hard that is. They say it's much harder to make a good comedy than a good drama, and that is so true. They should get all the cred for that. Also, Marlon's performance in Requiem For A Dream - one of my favorite films, period - was fantastic. A huge surprise. He should definitely do more drama.

Didn't understand it at first or where the plot was going but by the end i liked the underlying messages within certain parts of the film. It was very surreal. I truly enjoy Marlon's creativity overall, and how he can basically shape or change a character around certain aspects of a script.

Ugh , this microwave society is so misleading because even if you do get it that fast , not knowing how to keep or maintain it will be the next struggle. Its refreshing when not only people acknowledge that it takes time but then let you know, even with the time it took , I'm just getting started... the best is yet to come!
