Forty Shades of Blue (2005)
A very humanistic and emotionally moving story
This film touches the heart with both laughter and tears, and portrays humanity in a very realistic way, unlike many other films today. Rip Torn's performance of Allen James was absolutely superb (one of the best I've seen from him), and the performances of Dina Korzun and Darren Burrows, as Laura and Michael, were outstanding, as well. The story moves well all the way through and throws in some good humor and a few surprises along the way. I thought the ending was great. I'm not talking about how it ended story wise, but, the way the ending is artistically done. You'll know what I mean when you see the film, as I'm not going to spoil it here. Overall, this was one of the best dramas that I've seen in a long while.
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
What a disappointment!
Extremely long action scenes, with too many special effects, leave only a few minutes of a weak story. The fight scenes went on forever and after a few minutes brought on boredom. The same thing over and over and over. The story was very weak and left you saying "that was really stupid" or "what is this about?" on a number of occasions. I thought the first movie was great and I hope the third one will redeem the series, because this one really sucked. From the preview, Terminator III looks like a winner.
The Time Machine (2002)
Great Machine! Bad Movie!
I thought this was going to be a good film, until he landed in the future. What a hoakie bunch of garbage. The story line could have been made much better, by creating new material, instead of just copying the original. A different future with something more believable, or some more travel into the past would have made it a more interesting and surprising film.
