American Pie (1999)
Yucky Pie
I heard a lot of hype about this movie before I saw it. About how these people would be the new "brat pack." Nothing could be further from the truth. It was a boring, poorly acted, unfunny film. I have nothing against "gross" comedy, in fact I love it when it's done well. However, it was used so stupidly in this movie. It was as if the writers said, "okay, how far can we go? That'll be cool. People will be shocked!" What's the point of shocking somebody if you have nothing interesting to say? Sad movie. The one saving grace was the dad's performance. Everything else was a total mess. The pie scene wasn't even funny!
Forever Midnight (1999)
Sad for Blackwell
I was under the impression that independent films were becoming "the" films to be reckoned with. I was wrong. Not that this film was terrible, but Blackwell could use a dash of HUMOR in his directing and writing. Much too dark, too depressing, and way too long, the only saving grace of the film was the acting (though most of the time the actors were given ridiculous dialogue and direction). They tried to make the best of an awfully bad situation. I hope Blackwell learns from this picture. P.S. Erick Weir was BRILLIANT!
