Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
The Enterprise and crew fight inner-Starfleet and alien attempt to steal revitalising force from paradise-like planet
Not even really being a `trekkie`, i was quite disappointed about the `new Star Trek film`. The script isn`t what I would have thought it could be. A good part of the story I had seen in Star Trek TNG before, such as the main scene in which Data reveals the hidden enemies on the giftet planet they land on. Some of the quotes are too bad to bear, the whole story was boring and you could easily foresee all of what happened. They put a fistful of pretty good jokes (most performed by Data) in the plot, but they wouldn`t really fit. There wasn`t one new idea to Star Trek, not even great SFX, however, i think this film pretty much sucks.
Razorback (1984)
Smart guy finds himself in the Australian outback fighting giant killer pigs.
One of the lousiest films i`ve seen so far. The story is a mere joke, the actors are pretty bad and the so called "special effects" in this movie are a laugh. Well, the cuts are really weird, in the final men-to-pig fighting scenes our hero is outside/inside again, or switches positions suddenly. Forget about this film, it`s not bad enough to laugh about and too dumb to watch.
There's Something About Mary (1998)
A half standard, half extreme comedy/love story mix
Theres nothing really new about "Something about Mary", except one thing: the creators do seem like they have tried to top some of the rudities in today's average comedy. Parts of the film let you go mad in your cinema seat and go like "heck, they can`t really do that!", other parts just let me think "what is this supposed to mean? Was that funny?". Somehow the film tries to fulfill too many demands: comedy, romance and brutal nonsense. Forget about the story or most of the actors, but a dog getting burned and elektro-shocked or Cameron Diaz having sperm instead of wet-gel in her hair-do may shock, but are good for a few burst-out-laughs.
Härtetest (1998)
Wonderful and funny love story between a shy mothers boy and an sexy eco-terrorist.
Absolute superb little film about a whiny young man, who still lives with his parents, gets fooled by his girlfriend and works in daddy's company. He gets to meet Lisa Martinek, who is an semi-eco-terrorist and left wing power woman with quite much sex appeal and enormous strength. They both fall in love, and after the usual things happen like they get it all wrong and find together again, you so much wish for him to get out of his tiny world and share hers. A wonderful, unusual German production which is a must see. Excellent actors, a good story and filmed in a stylish, partly grotesque funny manner. Go and get it on tape, cause it hasnt been on the cinemas for more than a few days.
