The Blair Witch Project Hate it. Not scary. Too much hype. Me wanted to see Toy Story 2. Was outvoted :( Rating: 6.5/10
A Bug's Life This is alright, only because of the great computer graphics, but take that away and.. you don't have much, you'd just like.. have a black screen with voices, and then you'll be like "who said that? what's going on?" and then it'd be like the Blair Witch Project...only with a different plot line, cutesy voices, no profanity, working on the assumption that these voices are insects but yeah.. pretty much like Blair Witch Project. Given the similarities it's sick that kids are watching this huh? Rating: 7/10
American History X Well one thing's for sure, Edward Norton is gorgeous...except when he was in the prison showers and these guys...nevermind. The beginning wasn't very tasteful, and that pyscho from The Craft was in it (not an image I want to see there) but other than that....well done I say, well done. One can't take this film too seriously when such comments were made during the movie: "Wow...they have a lot of board games on that shelf...who has all these boardgames? I only have 3 in my house." "We're watching him abusing his family and all you comment on is the boardgames in the background?" "But I'm just saying...who has all those boardgames?" This movie painfully illustrates racism in a small society, I don't know what it says about us, but as soon as this movie ended, we watched Austin Powers. Rating: 9/10
The Matrix I was expecting loads of special effects but no... yeah nice plot line and all but it's pretty boring in the middle, I mean... take away the beginning with Trinity jumping over buildings and freezing every now and then, and then the end with Neo bending over backwards dodging bullets, and also their leather gear and sunglasses and what have you got? An unfinished movie with naked people with no eyewear... okay. Sure nice ending and all that, but you can't even out all that boringness in the middle for a really cool ending (and add a little judo on the side). I mean.. what is it with people being beaten up to a pulp and THEN all of a sudden having great strength to win? Does that make sense to you? Do you fight better after being roughed up a bit (almost dead)? How come this happens in so many movies? Rating: 7/10
Rush Hour - For a Jackie Chan movie, this has quite a decent plot..and..(do I dare say it?) makes sense. Don't get me wrong, I love his movies, but this one does not go too far in putting all the attention on his stunts and away from the plot.. I don't know about you, but every time he does a stunt, although very impressive, I tend to get a lil worried, I mean.. it's not fun to see him hurt himself, he has afterall, broken every bone in his body. But anyway, I liked that bit where he's trying to save a precious artifact while the bad guys try to beat him up, and then after all that he starts to walk away and it gets shot... reminds me of Superman four or something.. you know where Superman's carrying the Statue of Liberty? Rating: 7/10
Armageddon- Asteroid on devastating collision course with Earth..in the first scenes they practically wiped out New York, as George comments, they really do like doing that don't they? I feel sorry for the city, I mean after they got over Independence day, then Godzilla, the poor place is trying to repair itself only to be knocked over by flaming meatballs. Another point is that they don't eat in this movie..you don't see anyone eating...ever, which reminds me, I'm hungry now. And who killed Kenny? Possibly the meatball. Oh..and since the world didn't end, shouldn't it be called ALMOST Armageddon? Rating: 7.5/10 Backtop
never
hit me how tragic the thing about the Titanic really was until I saw this
movie, the impact of so many people dying who could have been saved. Well..I
guess most people already have seen this movie, and the people who havn't
are like me who eventually see it in the end after being nagged numerous
times but it was worth seeing.. so I guess I'll become one of the people
and say "You gotta see this movie!" * * * * *

ticket up..the first time I have a whole untorn ticket, which indicates
it would have been a freebie (damn!). That's what I don't like, nobody
to make sure I paid.. cuz then you feel cheated.. you feel like you didn't
have to, but you did but nobody checked (just a thought..). I didn't understand
the beginning too well.. it went too fast, a bit of lame acting somewhere
too. One of the evil guys is this fat clown.. very ugly fat clown, he mutates
into a giant slobbering monster and when he did.. he looked better, thats'
how ugly he was, and disgusting too. I think if they got rid of him, it
would have made the movie A LOT better, to me, clowns like that are
scary. If you've seen this movie, you'll know what I'm talking about...
*** Backtop
In
and Out Very
very funny, I laughed a lot of the time (Brenda says:"..and since
we all know that what you find funny is funny we come to the conclusion
that In and Out, making you laugh, is a funny movie so it would be worthwhile
to see" so there...I know what's funny..there'll be no doubts thankyouverymuch).
Pretty straight forward plot, a former student (Matt Dillon) of Howard
Brackett wins an Oscar and tells everyone that he's gay. The whole town
is wondering..is he really?? Very cool music..catchy tunes like "macho
macho man.." make you want to get up and dance (well..that old lady
next to me sure did!). My fave bits were during the Oscars when they showed
Cameron(the student) in a film playing a gay soldier and the bit where
Brackett is dancing (and the "How to be a man" tape keeps on
saying Stop it you wussy!) guess you had to be there. Why is it called
In and Out? Well as a guy in the movie puts it "Our body has in and
out parts, and they stay In and Out parts...but gays..they go shoving things
in to some parts they aren't suppose to" "What about our mouth?"
"Well...mouths are In parts..except when you puke..then it's an out
thing.." ***** backtop
but
alas, nothing's perfect. True it's a great movie, but not as great as some
people thought it'd be. Most people believe it to be "wicked"
and others believed it was a let down. I think it could have been better
but it's still good. While I was concentrating on the plot, most people
were concentrating on Will Smith (who can blame them huh?). I love the
cute little squid alien and that talking dog too. I can't really comment
much on this movie, just to say it was funny. **** backtop
Batman
and Robin Oh
man, this is a great movie! It's got lots of action. Most of the time,
the stuff that was going through my head were: "Woah!" "As
if!" "Yeah right!" and "What a coincedence!" so
naturally as you can see, it pretty much contains
some
really unbelievable stuff. Judging by the suits and costumes the cast wore,
(get a load of Robin's cock piece!) which were pretty tight and quite magnifcent,
I can believe that it took six hours everyday for them to get into and
prepare (Just imagine if in the middle of the day one of them had to go
pee). So this is a really good movie, the backdrops are beautifully done
and I love the great effects when Mr Freeze blasts Robin into ice while
he's in his little jumping pose. The music is really great, especially
when Poison Ivy takes off her Gorilla suit and blows everyone that little
pink chemical (to get them to think they're in love with her). Mind you,
Arnie's little one liners are a bit on the lame side. Oh yeah, the movie's
sounds are really LOUD so don't mind if your ears pop halfway through.
**** Backtop
Anaconda
crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap,
crap, crap, crap, crap, crap and even more crap...get the message? The
beginning is quite
boring,
the middle is..quite boring, the end is... GREAT! Okay, so you have this
guy that wants to capture an Anaconda, he umm kind of hi-jacks a documentary
boat (ship or whatever, I don't know my sea vessels well) only the people
on the boat are too dumb to realise that until da da da dum... too late!
I think the most crappiest line was "Is it just me, or is the jungle
making me horny?" Hrmm... must be just him. This film is not scary...I'm
not sure if it was meant to be scary. The only bit that comes close
to
scary was when the (I won't say who, cuz that would spoil it) guy gets
devoured whole, or swallowed or something and then the Anaconda spits him
out, and he's covered in slime and all and quite deadish, but has the strength
to give the girl a wink before he falls SPLAT on the floor. Besides the
Anaconda being forty feet long ("Grab a tape measure everyone! It's
actually only 39. 5 feet long"..."err..Kim..we don't care!")
one of the unrealistic scenes is when the good guy (Ice Cube!) gets stabbed
by the bad guy on the thiegh (or leg or whatever that meaty limb is) and
5 seconds later.. he's walking normal again! and then about 30 minutes
later, he's walking with a very,very,VERY slight limp (my guess is that
the producers just realised it at the end). ** Backtop
starts
off the same as Jurassic Park: a weird prologue, a boring beginning, an
average middle, and an action packed dino ending. But even with the special
effects (and no one can deny just how awsome they are), it kinda sucked,
not litrally, a kind of small sucking, like it's good but a part of you
wants more. No wait, that sounds kinky. No matter what, you're bound to
see this movie sooner
or
later, just like you did Jurassic Park, cuz it'll be everywhere, and just
when you think it's all over, it comes out on video, and there'll be more
hype to celebrate it's video release, and then after that, it's off to
the T.V. and suddenly everyone's interested in dinosaurs again. The books
better, if you have alot of time on your hand, go read the book and compare
it to the movie and see how different it is, cuz it IS different (ok ok,
I haven't actually read the book, but who cares). ***1/2 Backtop
The
Fifth Element: Wowee, great special
effects! This is about....umm...the fifth element! Turns out all these
people are looking for the other four elements.The fifth element (four
elements gathered together to create the fifth one: life) , Bruce Willis,
the priest, this bad guy, these ugly aliens and even the president are
looking for these four elements.
Nah not really, they just reckon without all those elements originally
in Egypt the earth is gonna end cuz of this evil planetish mold which is
gonna slam right into earth (Every five thousand years, a door opens between
the dimensions, one with the universe and all of its multitude of life
forms, the other is an element of anti-energy waiting patiently for an
opportunity to extinguish all life and light). I love the interior of the
hotel, it's blue! I love the stewardess's uniform, it's blue! I love the
secretary's hair, it's blue! And the ultimate blue: this singing creature
that's totally blue (blood and guts) with the background being blue Earth
(And Pamela's going "Will shut up about the blue?). Actually I can't
remember, I was off in my own little world. The film has a light sense
of humour also (look out for the guy who screams like a girl). ***1/2 Backtop
Dante's
Peak: About a man trying to convince
a little town that their volcano is about to blow. The beginning and all
is kind of like Twister, Mr Bond has a traumatic experience in which his
girlfriend was killed. The special effects are good, a bit of romance,
and lots of larva. *** Backtop
Romeo
and Juliet: "Two households both
alike in dignity in Fair Verona where we lay our scene from ancient grudge
break to new mutiny
where civil blood makes civil hands unclean from forth the fatal loins
of these two foes a pair of star cross'd lovers take their life."
You can either love or hate this movie, and I'm one of the few that hate
it. Old english and modern day society don't mix. The only thing that I
liked were the hawaiin shirts. I really recommend seeing this movie if
you have a thing for romance (****) but if you're not into lovey dovey
stuff, then forget it. An overall score of 2 (**) stars (to each his own).
Too early seen unknown, and er....known too late. * Backtop
Jackie
Chan's First Strike: Let's face it,
you don't go to movies like this expecting a good plot. Guns, fights, men
in black suits and err... koalas. Although I was paying full attention
to the movie I could not work out the complete plot, and the typical "damsel
in distress" was really annoying me with her loud screams of helplessness.
Not one of Mr Chan's best films. *** A really good site to visit that's
dedicated to Jackie Chan and this movie is Jackie
Chan's First Strike. It features Jackie Chan's chronology, the movie,
and also has a simple game you can play that is based on his underwater
scenes. *** Backtop
Bannister
(Michael J. Fox) a psychic swindler with dead buddies. This movie is sooo
funny and is filled with some surprises. Especially with the inspector
who is really weird. You definately should see it. ***** Backtop
