Summary: Great movie for the beginning actors and actresses
Review: My first thought about this movie was...ok, what the hell is this about. After some debate I decided to rent the movie. And let me tell you WHAT A MOVIE! I was really doubtful about this movie in the beginning but once I started to watch the movie. I couldn't turn it off. For starters the entire cast was great, especiall Charlize Theron. I have to say that she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Plus, she's a very gifted actress. Who ever discovered her must be proud of themselves. Anyway, its a movie that I would absolutly recommend to anyone. I just wish that I knew that if the DVD is worth the money. But I'll probably buy the DVD anyway:) I said it once and I'll say it again. WHAT A MOVIE

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hehe, kick a**... This movie is worth 2 hrs of your time
Review: No doubt about it. This movie has it all. Laughs, gimmicks... (Charlize Theron in some impressive outfits)... Most of all, though, it is both cohesive and quirky. This is a marvelous mix that makes for a truly entertaining flick. You will no doubt be grinning, smirking, or making some other sort of slyly bemused expression throughout this entire movie; from the dry beginning to the truly twisted denument.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This film is a classic because...
Review: No matter what scene you come in on, you'll say to your friends, "Look, this is a really good part,"and you'll all sit there till the end. I always figured Charlize Theron was sleeping with the costume designer because she was a new-comer, while Teri Hatcher was an established star. Yet, in every scene, Teri is sweating, in sweats, and Charlize is wearing this white body stocking(or not)that looks like it's more make-up than clothing. Their fight scene is my favorite. Spader gives everyone 60 seconds, Aiello cooks, Jeff Daniels steams and Eric Stoltz finds a clue and meets a charming young lady. You'll recognize almost everyone in this "all stories converge" masterpiece.

Summary: pulp fiction wanna be

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 48 hours of Intersecting Crime Lives in the Valley
Review: The reason why I liked this film is because it was filmed within a four mile radius of my home. The characters were extremely quicky and odd. "2 Days in the Valley" was clever, cynical and another underrated film. Jeff Daniels was psychotic, and Charlize Theron was eye candy.

I was immediately reminded of "Magnolia", another Valley flick that intersects people's lives. Teri Hatcher had a great supporting role, as did Greg Cutwell. Danny Aiello was great as a man who hired a hit man, then becomes frightful and scared of himself.

Overall, I give it an A.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Two Days in the Valley
Review: This is a really good movie, with an unbelievable cast and a brilliant plot! The music soundtrack is also very good, and there is not a bad scene in the movie! I just can't understand why nobody has seen this film! Here we have a variety of bizarre characters (highlights were Danny Aiello, James Spader, Charlize Theron, and Jeff Daniels) who stumble into each other's lives. The director threw in a lot of little interesting quirks, such as the murderous assassin smirking as he watches a cop sight down the barrel of a watergun, or a spiteful old man who we came to hate earlier slinking out of a Japanese pleasure house in the dead of night. (Another interesting thing for me about the movie is to watch for the manner in which every character's name is given as the plot unfolds. ALL of them are named at least once somewhere in the film!) The movie is very well written and very interesting, and if there is any problem whatsoever, it would have to be that at times the dialogue becomes a bit laborous and unrealistic. (Sometimes, it appears that the characters are explaining what's going on to the audience, rather than conversing with the other characters.) Nevertheless, this is a trite point, and distracts none at all from the movie's enjoyment. And although Two Days in the Valley has been called a "Tarantino rip-off", I think this is because, like in many Tarantino films, we get to see famous actors playing in roles that we are not accustomed to seeing them in.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Teri Hatcher was awesome!!!
Review: This is an excellent Pulp Fiction"esque" movie. Lots of stars make this movie a lot of fun to watch. Teri Hatcher is awesome, and she alone is a great reason to see this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT FLICK, A MUST SEE! Hatcher Rules!
Review: This movie was a great murder movie, full of supense and great actors. Teri Hatcher and Charlize Theron are excellent. The fight between the two of them is brilliant, and the climax of the movie was very exciting. James Spader was excellent in his role, and has proven to be a very versatile actor. In fact, everyone in the movie was great. Maybe they could have spent a little more time developing the characters, but it didn't really matter. Teir Hatcher And James Spader were the best. Their best films yet!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This fine example of artistic integrity is unsurpassable
Review: This piece featured a strong introductory piece capable of turning the most flacid flesh into rock hard satisfaction. END

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Convoluted and haphazard
Review: Too many characters, not enough depth in any of them, and not enough time spent bringing them together in a believable manner.

This movie was too dumb to be realistic, and too convoluted to be classified as mindless entertainment.

When it ends, you're asking "Is that it??"
