The Full Monty (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Nice and risque. Refreshing. Nice ending, although the white dot over the penis was kinda dumb.

Fantastic story. Really great. Nice and long, too, which lets us get really in-depth with the story. A few minor problems though. First, how could his drug-addicted, junkie brother afford a scam like that? And second, if his brother loved him so much, how could he have taken so many…

Gattaca (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Very interesting premise. One of only two or three serious filmic explorations of our future, along with Matrix and T2. The genetic revolution is coming. Perhaps now is the time to consider laying out the ethics. Cleverly and cleanly told. Niccol has talent. I’d like to see how many quality…

Good Will Hunting (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Well-directed and well-written. Script was smart and touching, with great dialogue and a lot of thought-provoking moments. Good cast. Williams was fantastic, the best performance in the movie. Personally, I think he’s better at heavy drama than he is at comedy. Damon was great, and Driver wasn’t annoying. Van Sant…

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Another in a wave of black comedies that use wannabe-cool but gratuitous dialogue to develop wannabe-cool characters at the expense of the story. The half-witted dialogue is funny and cool at times, but overall the film lacks a more complex plot and character development which would have provided a more…

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

I don’t usually like movies like this, but this one was pretty good. A little of the cheesy shock shit that you’d expect (window tapping, etc.), and the obvious gimmicks and clicheed storyline, but overall a great stalker movie for junior high school students. Gellar is hot. She’s got a…

Jackie Brown (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

In terms of style, typical Tarantino. His films revel in the campy filmic style, actors, costumes, and music of the 70’s. In this film, he doesn’t jump around too much like he did in Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. He does it a bit, but only for one scene, and…

Kiss the Girls (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

All the emotion comes from close-ups and camera shaking, not the story. Nauseating close-ups throughout the entire movie. We’re talking eyes to lips close-ups. Hardly a single longshot. The few that there are are refreshing. They say that they tried not to make it like Seven, but it seemed to…

Liar Liar (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Good story. Carrey’s expression actually put to good use. For once they’re motivated. But they must be running out of ideas for him‚Ä¶

The Lost World (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Probably the best in the new trend of disaster movies. It’s got comedy, suspense, horror, grossness, and effects. The plot of the entire script is decent at best, but each individual scene has dramatic tension, and the action is very suspenseful and well-done. Much bloodier than Jurassic Park. Also had…
