The Iron Giant (1999)
Take the kids or go alone!!!
This was an awesome movie! I don't think I can say that enough. From the trailer (which doesn't do justice to the movie) I had already decided that I'd have to endure it for an hour and a half simply because the kids wanted to see it. Thank God for my kids, because without their insisting I would have missed the best animated movie I've seen since Toy Story. A quarter into the movie I'd already decided to buy the movie the minute it's released on DVD. There's a lot of humor that might be lost on kids, most of it related to period satire. However, my 4 year old son laughed throughout the movie, and afterward told me "I'm the good giant robot, Momma" (Do I see us buying Iron Giant Merchandise? You betcha!) I felt that the movie was like a nostalgic trip to my own childhood. I remember when Superman was THE hero to be, and the difference between right and wrong was clearly defined. Finally, in this day and age, who can argue with a movie that advises "You are what you chose to be." and with a hero who proudly proclaims, "I am NOT a gun!"
The Chosen One: Legend of the Raven (1998)
Honestly, the worst movie I've ever seen.
I can't say that I liked this movie, I didn't even understand it! It was the worst movie I've ever seen. Besides the obvious lack of thought in casting (the sister, supposedly a Native American, is a blond-haired, blue-eyed chick), severe lack of acting ability, and the schroom-induced thing that was supposed to be a plot, the thing still didn't muster enough camp to be even funny. Oh, can't finish without mentioning the costumes, what was that about? It looked like they raided a closet full of '80's clothes that people in the '80's wouldn't even wear. Even if you are IN LOVE with Carmen, it won't make you like this.
