U.S. Seals (2000)
I can't believe I watched it.
This movie uses the absolute BOTTOM of the barrel stereotypes, plot lines, and clichéd story lines for EVERY SCENE! Horribly acted, horribly directed, and a horrible score.. is there any music at all? All in all this should have been a 'straight to dumpster' release.
Time Chasers (1994)
Plot Holes the size of Mt. Fuji!!
What happened to the 'second' hero who went back to 1777? Didnt the soldiers of 1777 document the 1st use of an UZI? Wouldnt a PLANE CRASH FROM 1777 BE NEWS??? The girl who 'died' in the plane crash didnt find it unusually shocking that she FOUND HER OWN DEAD BODY IN THE PLANE CRASH?? My god, this script must have been written over a lunch meeting with the producers. Awful, and just flat out stupid. 1 star because of the JFK Dollar from 2041.
The Matrix (1999)
Excellent sci-fi but lazy ending
This movie is easily one of the top 10 sci-fi/action film ever but c'mon, they can move faster than bullets so the heroes grab GUNS?? Stupid plot point, lazy actually. The visuals are outstanding and the mystery of 'reality' is the selling point.. the part Keanu was born to play (because he didnt have to act). 8.5/10
Wo hu cang long (2000)
Beautifal but..
The cinematography was outstanding, the movie breathes and glows. The acting is subtle but very moving. The fight scenes are absolutely the most incredible EVER put on a motion picture screen, makes the Matrix fight scenes look like Barney vs. Barney. The flying was taken one step too far. Just like any incredible visual effect, when it is done one too many times in a film it becomes less impressive and begins to chew at the (hesitant to say)'believability' of the act.. I still HIGHLY recommend seeing this in the theaters, very impressive.
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Original and Riveting
This movie totally disregards what Hollywood says movies should be and shows what film-making CAN be. It is disturbing, gross, passionate, sexy, and flat out INTENSE! It made me cry and nauseated. When I left the theater I felt exhausted. A completely original film by a GREAT director. See PI if you haven't already.
Mission: Impossible II (2000)
Style over everything
Script = Recyled nonsense, Style = John Woo at his best, Tom Cruise = Tom Cruise. Brainless action with no storyline, but the camera shots, colors, and cinematography is top notch. The awful script brings it down to 6th grade level though. Too bad.
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996)
MST3K for the masses..
For hardcore fans this is a great movie. It is not as good as many of the series' episodes simply because if you watched the series you were into the show already. This movie was marketed more towards opening the eyes of people who don't have an excuse to watch a 1.5 hour TV show. MST:THE MST OF FATE!!
Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966)
Like a boring car wreck..
I would have never guessed that "film" could be so terrible but I was corrected and beaten over the head with that correction. This was a serious attempt at film making, and I felt uncomfortable being in the same room with my cousin when we watched it! There are literally MINUTES of film with NO dialog, NO movement, AND NO POINT!!
