Notting Hill



Helix's Review

"Helix is just a puppet standing in front of a sheep asking her to mate with him."

Helix's first reaction to this film's title was one of tremendous fear. There is nothing scarier to a monster than the thought of his lovely orange locks being tied into knots. Fear gradually turned to acceptance. Especially when Helix realized this movie was about HIM!



Why his life story was set in space, Helix does not know. But he is glad to have Julia Roberts as his co-star.

This movie contained the perfect blend of star-crossed romance and comedy. Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant are terrific and they're backed up by a strong (and hilarious) supporting cast. This is a gem that never received as much attention as it deserved.

This movie taught Helix a lot about movie stars. In particular, that they always wear sunglasses.
