FEMME FATALE ON ERIN BROCKOVICH
We remember Julia Roberts for her megawatt smiles in Pretty Woman and romantic comedies like My Best Friend's Wedding. But never has she been more feisty, intelligent in the gritty Erin Brockovich and with director Steven Soderbergh from Out of sight, the movie is glossed up with excellent cinematography from Ed Lachman, a strong and sexy plot, and stauch supporting cast. No doubt, the star vechicle is Roberts in which she play an intelligent waitress who sue a company and summoned an astounding compensation for toxic pollution in which contamination plagued the town of Hickley, California. There she emerged to be the talking point by beating against corporate dominion.

Julia Roberts hones her acting and has never been better. No doubt her megawatt smiles are put to good use for this one, with those moulding apparel to flaunt boldly her figure. But behind the cloak of independence lies a resonant human drama. Roberts faces the breakdown of her family as a single, raising her children, and there in lies a pillion rider neighbor Albert Finney and her refreshing chemistry with George in the attorney firm.

It is her affection, her will and strength that bolsters the drama and Roberts handles the emotional scenes with maturity. It is a believable drama which explores the human heart, the triumph against evil and the vulnerable woman's center. The video release makes it a must-watch and is definitely a keeper. You cannot miss Erin Brockovich.

Fantastic!
Julia Roberts deserves an Oscar for this one. This was an excellent movie. It is based on the true story of a woman named Erin Brockovich. Erin is a twice divorced mother of three with no money. While out job hunting one day, she gets into a car accident and ends up with surgery and a neck brace. Since she had no insurance, she found herself being $17,000 in debt. After losing the case in court because of swearing on the stand, she ends up working for the lawyer who represented her by practically demanding a job from him. There are some hilarious scenes here.

Part of what was humorous about this film was Erin herself. She dresses very provocatively and thinks nothing of using foul language in the office. Most people would be fired in a minute if they acted this way, but somehow, Erin gets away with it. Her boss and co-workers often don't know what to make of her. On top of that, the audience loves her. You can see that underneath the tough exterior is a good, kind person who truly cares about the people she's trying to help.

She starts doing some research on her own in the town of Hinkley, California when she sees health problems in some files at the office. She interviewed so many different families with everything from cancer to severe nose bleeds. It turned out that Pacific Gas & Electric had poisoned the town's water supply by not taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening. Erin has tremendous warmth and the people of Hinkley come to love and trust her. The movie also shows the major sacrifices she made by having to work such long hours on this case. Her relationship with her children suffered a lot at that time, but in the end, it was all worth it.
