20 Dates (1998)
It's not funny and you don't really care
I went to a screening of this movie and while it had a couple moments that made me laugh, it had some very major flaws. It first of all presents itself to be the humorous exploits of a real-life divorcee trying to find love in LA. What it morphs into is a depressing, narcissistic, and unfunny romp through the history of the film director's love life and professional life. Jokes wear thin quickly and you find yourself suddenly not caring how this man's dates progress. The ridiculousness is that the director simultaneously presents himself as an extremely annoying and heavily flawed character and then expects us to be concerned.
Armageddon (1998)
Attempted Reflection of American Reality
I've heard only two types of reviews for this movie: "It was the worst movie ever made" or "It was a lot of fun". I have to say, that No, this movie was not a lot of fun. It was life in the version of Super Mario Brothers or as a commercial. I thought I was watching a really long movie preview. People say it was fun because it was exciting. Nope, it wasn't. Can you predict that they will save the world? Gee, that was a tough guess. Can you feel any emotion for any character in this movie? I don't think so. I think the only way you can enjoy this disturbing snapshot of the low-brow american psyche is if you're an alcohol guzzling, ignorant misogynist who doesn't see outside of the television set often. Sorry, but it had to be said.
