Review:
The Angels are back-better then ever. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu all repeat their roles from the first movie. We have a new Bosley to lead them in the person of Bernie Mac, who is very funny. This sequel, based on the TV series from the late-seventies, has more comedy, more action and more adventure. The angels are crime-fighting heroines, who are pitted against an ex-angel, Demi Moore. The movie could be considered sexist except the Angels are laughing at themselves and they always come out on top. You can tell how much fun the Angels are having and that they are fully in charge of their own destinies. It's a guilty pleasure - you may think you shouldn't like the movie - but you do. Just enjoy it. There is some sexual and language innuendo and action violence.

Linda ThomasLinda Thomas is a native Minnesotan. She graduated from the University of Minnesota with a double major in sociology and psychology. Married with a family, she has remained in the Minneapolis area.

Linda has been a lover of movies since she was a small child. This love of film eventually brought her to the point in life where she is now, a film critic. She was featured on WCCO radio for three years on the “Dark in the Morning” show with Dark Star.

In December of 2001, Linda became the film critic for the syndicated “Ruth Koscielak Show”.

Linda sees over 150 movies a year and has had the opportunity to interview a number of directors and actors when they are in town. She has also appeared on a public access show called the "Cinema Judge" and has ventured into writing for "Cinestar" magazine in September 2002. The Twin Cities movie magazine is available, for free, at most local Blockbuster's and local movie cheaters.

Her website is: www.lindathomasmovies.com

As one of the few female reviewers in the Twin Cities area, she brings a unique point of view to her reviews. Linda has raised two children, a boy and a girl, and knows what they like in movies and what is appropriate. Hopefully, her reviews will help your family in choosing where to next spend your movie-going dollar.
