The Saint (1997)

Great disguises, horrible movie

[5/10 · 29 May 1999]

Val Kilmer's acting and disguises were perfect. Shue was cast as a bimbo. I find it hard to believe that the director or writer had any respect for women. He (or she) portrayed Shue as an idiot nuclear physicist?? Help needed on this one. Plot was idiotic.

Election (1999)

funny as hell

[9/10 · 8 May 1999]

Fabulously funny movie that is much deeper and darker than any plot summary may suggest. There are a lot of layers in this movie. I laughed throughout. Just go see it.

What Happened Was... (1994)

Incredible movie

[10/10 · 15 January 1999]

This movie may not appeal to all people (as I see from another comment) but was a great, biting, black movie with A+ dialogue. It brings you into the lives of two people, who are not all they appear to be. Tom Noonan is a brilliant screen writer. It is a one-room setting, like a play, but reels you in regardless (like Lifeboat). If you don't appreciate dialogue and the idiosyncrasies of human nature, you will not appreciate this movie.
