The Patriot (2000)

Reviewed on Jul 29, 2000

Not sure if this was a fluke for Emmerich or if he is actually improving as a filmmaker. He should be commended for his choice of script, cast, and photography. A powerful, well-made movie, perhaps the best Revolutionary War movie ever made. Deliciously and realistically bloody. The period was in…

X-Men (2000)

Reviewed on Jul 27, 2000

Good story. A great adaptation, and definitely trilogy material. A great series introduction and perhaps the best first movie ever, planting a lot of seeds for future plots (particularly Wolverine’s past and his vague connection with Magneto) without leaving any glaring wholes in this one. The cast is signed on,…

Nice to see that there’s other edgy, socially aware animation aside from the Simpsons and South Park.

The Lucky Number (1932)

Reviewed on Jul 11, 2000

Nice, simple story. Very theatrical. Mollison was fantastic. Great debut. Looks a bit like Tim Roth. I wonder if he’s still around. Wyndham’s a hottie.

Reviewed on Jun 24, 2000

The Farrelly formula: shocking gross-out humor, genitalia gags, animatronic animal cruelty, and random, exaggerated absurdities blended with simple romance and set to 70’s-style easy listening tunes. Carrey returns to his comic roots and does a pretty god job. Lots of opportunities for physical humor. Part of his appeal is that…

Flatliners (1990)

Reviewed on Jun 14, 2000

Not bad. OK story and characters, but the acting slips at times. That black girl on the train was hilarious.

Mission: Impossible II (2000)

Reviewed on Jun 10, 2000

Woo is coming into his own. Fantastic action shot with great style within a believable story. The action is crazy but believable, same appeal as the Bond movies or True Lies. A full-fledged Wooish shootout, and probably the most exciting and best-shot motorcycle chase I’ve ever seen. Lots of very…
