American Beauty (1999)
Difficult to describe, but more difficult to forget
One of the best movies to come out of Hollywood in a decade. The acting is outstanding, although the filming is somewhat heavy-handed at times. Nonetheless, it is without a doubt a movie see. It is clearly a movie for adults, though. Hire a babysitter and go see this movie.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
I was pulling for the witch
I wish I had seen this before all the hype. It might have been a very different experience, but these characters were so annoying that I was hoping the witch would kill them as soon as possible. Students from the Berkley Film School have been doing this sort of thing for years. It is a wonderful lesson about media hype, though.
The 13th Warrior (1999)
At least there are some interesting battle techniques
A big, stinky film. I did not expect much from this film, and it could not even deliver that. The only interesting thing is some new battle techniques. Stare at yourself in a mirror for two hours--it will be more enjoyable!
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)
When it's funny, it's very funny
Some of the scenes are great. Too much time is spent setting up the next big scene, but easily accomplishes it's goal of making the audience laugh. A very silly, but funny, movie.
Desert Blue (1998)
cute, but forgettable
This is a nice, sweet film. It will, however, be quickly forgotten since there is nothing terribly new here. The acting is very strong. All in all, it's worth watching.
