The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Outstanding!

[14 August 1999]

Simply put the greatest horror movie ever made. No film has ever grasped the concept of atmosphere such as Blair Witch did. I have been disappointed time and time again when I saw a film that was supposed to create a feeling and did not quite hit the mark. The Blair Witch Project did that and more. I recommend this movie to all. I hope the academy does not overlook this truly great film.

The Haunting (1999)

Fair

[5/10 · 14 August 1999]

Can you say cheese? The Haunting gets the passing grade but all should be warned. This movie hits all the expected horror film cliches and really that's the problem with this film. I wish I could say that it hit its mark but I would be lying if I said it did.

Mr. Magoo (1997)

Horrifying

[1/10 · 14 August 1999]

After seeing this film I felt sick to my stomach and if I had seen one more minute I would have had to rush to the bathroom and vomit til dawn. A sick film that was NOT funny and was NOT worth the money, any money at all. If anybody ever wants to see this movie don't! Your kids will never forgive you and will claim sickness for a week. So if you value your child's education and want to stimulate your child's mind please don't see this movie. I beg of you, DON'T!

American History X (1998)

Moving

[10/10 · 19 June 1999]

There are few movies in my life that I have given a perfect rating for but this one really deserves that honor. American History X gives an honest portrayal of racism in the world we live in. You see, people who follow radical actions like the crime of hate usually have something that has lead to their radical behavior. One thing that really stuck deep within my soul is the realism that the people that are behind all these terrorist acts have in their minds reasons for their behavior. I felt sorrow for the incredibly true to life racist inequality that is prevalent everywhere. Edward Norton was absolutely brilliant in this film! I believe that he will rise to the challenge of any character he portrays. The truth is that life is not what it seems at times. This film, done so perfectly, gives us that view. One can not agree more after seeing American History X.

Deranged (1974)

Twisted fun!

[8/10 · 19 June 1999]

I must admit when I first heard of this movie my eyes rolled up in my head and the food I had just ate came creeping back for an unexpected visit. Then I saw it and my opinion changed. This truly is a great film. Not as good as say a Nightmare on Elm Street but it still has all the qualities of a great B movie. All I can say is that I am really quite glad that they have not made a remake of this great film because generally remakes are quite bad. Really, really bad!

The Wedding Singer (1998)

memories

[8/10 · 15 June 1999]

The 80's were the greatest decade in history for fun music. The world jumped with the sounds of Billy Joel and Men with Hats. The Wedding Singer brought me back to my childhood and all its splendor. Anyone who loves the greatest decade ever will just love this wonderful film!

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

The force is still strong

[9/10 · 8 June 1999]

I know what you're going to say. You're going to say that I loved this movie because I'm a Star Wars fan. True, true. I think that there one must remember before going to see this film. You will love this film (most people) if you grew up watching the the young rebellion defeat its adversary. Good vs bad, the same old story just with awesome special effects and in a three part story, which does make a difference. I strongly encourage anyone who plans to see 'The Phantom Menace' and has yet to see the first three installments to see them and grow to understand why we are so hooked. Then you too will be in the hunt for unanswered questions that only parts one, two, and three can understand. This is truly a soap opera for sci-fi fans.

A Life Less Ordinary (1997)

I liked this film for many reasons. All I really...

[8/10 · 8 June 1999]

I liked this film for many reasons. All I really want to say is that it really made me feel for the characters in their trials they face. The acting was well done on all fronts.Good, good film.

The Last of the High Kings (1996)

trash

[1/10 · 8 June 1999]

Nod...Nod...Oh, I'm sorry. I am kind of tired. Just thinking about this boring piece of trash makes me fall into a deep sleep only comparable to that one put upon the beauty we all know and love. A must see if you enjoy having alcohol rubbed on your wounds then adding salt for good measure. On a positive note, Christina Ricci has acted in yet again a bad movie. Way to go girl!

Kids (1995)

Disturbing

[5/10 · 8 June 1999]

A sick and twisted film that gave the teen actors a chance to swear and show no respect for authority. We know it happens. We care that it happens. It's not like we are not aware. This film should not have been made if for any reason than for its horrible acting and bad script. A real stinker!

The Man with Two Heads (1972)

memories

[3/10 · 6 June 1999]

A funny thing happened to me as I was browsing around the other day that couldn't be overlooked. Many years ago I saw this awful film. At the time I was kind of spooked by it. It had this kind of quality that will scare a four year old. All in all this is truly bad movie making at its finest. A must see for the experiece.
