Batman & Robin (1997)

Holy Bad Film, Batman!

[1/10 · 26 February 1999]

I am a HUGE Batman fan! I collect the comic books, love the movies, even the TV show. I looked forward to each new installment in the Batman film series..then this happened.

WHY...Clooney? Batman he is NOT

WHY...Silverstone? The actual Batgirl in the comics would have to laugh.

WHY...Arnold??? It is a shame that Patrick Stewart didn't play freeze. At least you would have been able to understand the awful lines!

WHY...um...WHY this film???

I am just grateful that I did not pay to see it. There is a merciful God in Heaven!

The ONLY thing I sorta kinda enjoyed was Poison Ivy. Uma played her very close to the comic book character.

Holy Ripoff, Batman!

Mr. Holland's Opus (1995)

Beautiful Anthem to Life and Music!

[21 February 1999]

After wanting to see this film since it came out, I finally was lucky enough to see it tonight. As a music lover, this film blessed my soul. The score was gorgeous, and the struggles and victories of Mr. Holland made me laugh..made me cry and warmed my heart. Richard Dreyfuss was glorious in his performance as the troubled Music Teacher. He showed that anyone, be they a young girl who struggles to be good at something, or a teen in the 60's who wants to play the drums but can't find the beat..can be changed by music. Bravo, Mr. Holland!
