Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995)
More of the same, but it’s lacking in originality and getting old. The rhino birth scene was pretty funny.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Good characters, action, and story. Great fantasy which sets a great mood. Seeing it on the big screen makes a huge difference. Awesome punching sound! Remarkably polished for 1981. It even stands up well today. This might have been the first film to conquer the low-quality film, bad color, messy…

Hackers (1995)
Not nearly as cool as I thought it would be. A cheesy and unrealistic look at hacking, and amatuerish filmmaking. They should have spent less money on the motherboard fly-bys and more money on film for additional takes. Good music, but it’s wasted. Miller reminds me a bit of Jason…

Kingpin (1996)
One of the better Farrelly comedies. More deformity and penis humor. Murray is just funny. Quaid is holding up pretty well after all these years. He actually looks a lot like Kevin Spacey.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
The first real high school movie, with lots of edgy, refreshing sexual content. This movie would have answered a lot of questions for me when I was younger. It’s a valuable snapshot of high school life in the 80’s, but it’s not quite as witty as the John Hughes movies…

Donnie Brasco (1997)
Not bad. Nice to see Pacino vulnerable for a change. Heche is pretty hot.

Hotel Rwanda (2004)
With unbelievable human cruelty and the innocence of children, it pulls all the heartstrings. An African Schindler’s List. Cheadle is strong. He seems to love accents.

The Hunt for Red October (1990)
Pretty good story, and pretty well made. Lots of Die Hard elements in there, which I guess isn’t too surprising coming from McTiernan. Good cast. Baldwin used to be a good-looking guy. Interesting transition from Russian to English dialogue.
