I'd have to say: this is probably my favorite Gwyneth Paltrow movie...I liked it even better than 'Shakespeare in Love'. For the most part, the acting was SUPERB, and Gwyneth (as always) never ceases to amaze me with her wonderful, versatile range as an actress. She portrayed Sylvia's plight and heartbreak so well, and she was never overdone, or anything like that. A couple of scenes were particularly bittersweet: the part where Sylvia (Gwyneth) is burning her two-timing husband's love letters outside, the wind's blowing, violin music is playing in the background, the hills...It's all so breathtaking. Even if the portrayal of Sylvia Plath and her life isn't historically accurate, I'd suggest that SP's fans research her work and her life on their own by reading her books or the many "in-depth" biographies written about her. Anyway, I'm definitely buying this DVD soon. I give it 4 out of 5 stars...

Codename: Kids Next Door
(2002–2008)
Entertaining for children *and* adults alike.
3 December 2004
I really enjoy this show because of its humor, colorful characters, and great voice actors. I'm sure there's many people who wouldn't care for this type of show, but it has a HUGE Internet fan base, with many many many fan sites devoted to it (check out ericandamelie.tripod.com or numbuh69.proboards39.com/index.cgi.) Also, the show's creator answers your emails and he's very cute. ^_^
Anyway, the show is about an organization called the Kids Next Door. The show follows one sector of the organization in particular, Sector V. The leader of Sector V is Nigel Uno, aka Numbuh 1, and his fellow team mates (operatives) are also known by their codenames: Numbuh 2, Numbuh 3, and so on. There are five operatives in Sector V, and each bring a unique skill/gift/characteristic to the show. For example, Numbuh 2 is an engineer, and he's obsessed with airplanes. Once in awhile, he may crack a *few* witty puns. Numbuh 3 is Japanese, and kind of an airhead. Numbuh 4 is Australian and the "tough guy" on the team (he's also the shortest!) While Numbuh 5 is American, and does the spying for the team. You may like it or not, but I say just watch it once. You never know.
