Three Kings (1999)

Reviewed on Sep 24, 2002

Three kings, but there were really four of them, no? Wahlberg and Clooney are engaging. But why would they take the idiot with them, and even leave him in charge for a few moments? Nice tension. Interesting vidual effects and great set design.

Amélie (2001)

Reviewed on Sep 22, 2002

A harmony of charm, style, cuteness, and light humor about life’s little things. This is a movie about nothing, but the richness of its characters is almost enough to keep it afloat for the entire two hours. I really like what Jeunet did with this one. Brilliant writing and wonderful…

Hysterical Blindness (2002)

Reviewed on Sep 17, 2002

An authentic slice of life from the 80’s. Very well-written, well-acted, and well-directed. Interesting in that is just follows the two main characters through their daily lives without the single, life-changing, dramatic event that most other movies have. The result is a story that is unpredictable and characters that are…

Revenge (1990)

Reviewed on Sep 16, 2002

Pretty good. Definitely a Costner vehicle, and he runs with it. He sure likes to show off his bum. Quinn is great, and Stowe is sexy. Scott loves to use those sky filters. Nice bridge with Top Gun. That cat claw scene was hilarious.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

Reviewed on Sep 15, 2002

Story’s kinda cool, but the dialogue is a bit old and stunted, and the effects just don’t compare to today’s. Didn’t realize they stole the “Next Generation” score from the Star Trek movies.

Al is getting old but prevents this poorly-directed film from completely tanking.

The Sweetest Thing (2002)

Reviewed on Sep 2, 2002

There’s Something About Mary for women. Applegate and Blair strangely appealing. Diaz is not.

Reign of Fire (2002)

Reviewed on Aug 3, 2002

Not very engaging, generic. I think Bale, and even McConaughey, is capable of better.

Signs (2002)

Reviewed on Aug 1, 2002

Scariest movie I’ve seen in a while, like War of the Worlds (the dialogue reference was a bit jarring) meets Children of the Corn. I like how it all takes place on a farm, with only blips of international media. This is the product of an educated filmmaker. Many moments…
