Life as a House (2001)
Certainly worth the price of admission
I saw this movie at a screening recently and loved it. Kevin Kline is excellent as the cancer victim who wants to do something special for his misguided son while he's still able. The supporting cast should also be applauded for their fine performances. This movie is definitely a tear jerker, but certainly worth the two hours you will spend in the theatre. It gives you food for thought long after the movie is over.
Shrek (2001)
A delight for young and old alike
I saw this movie at a screening recently. It was a delightful movie with something for everyone. I think it will be as big a hit as "Toy Story I and II." The computer animation is so realistic that it is great to watch. The donkey with Eddie Murphy's voice is a real crowd pleaser. All in all, a winner!
Best in Show (2000)
Disappointed
My 21-year old son and I went to see this movie together. Even though we both like dogs, neither of us cared for this movie. I was expecting more--more humor, more story, more interaction among characters. A disappointment!
Bless the Child (2000)
Dark and depressing!
I saw this movie recently in an advance screening. I really did not like it--too dark and depressing for summer entertainment. In fact, the entire plot of the movie was distasteful to me. Just my opinion--others may actually like it.
Coyote Ugly (2000)
Light summer entertainment!
I saw the movie last night with my 21-year old son. We both enjoyed the movie. It was fun entertainment with a catchy soundtrack. John Goodman, as the main character's father, added much to the comical situations, while Piper Perabo (Violet Sanford) reminded me of a younger Julia Roberts. The movie didn't have a great plot, but it seemed to entertain the mixed audience at the screening last evening. The younger fellows in the theatre, and probably the older ones also, greatly enjoyed the bar scenes.
Reindeer Games (2000)
A Fun, But Not Great, Movie
If you don't take this film too seriously, then it is fun to watch and quite enjoyable. It is an action film with a few unexpected twists and turns. Don't expect an Oscar winner and you're sure to be entertained from beginning to end.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Poor camera work made me sick!
I was not prepared for this movie--I had eaten a big meal beforehand. The shaky and crude camera work literally made me sick at my stomach. It was so bad--poor quality of filming and a crying infant seated behind me--that I asked for a refund after the movie was over. I did not find the movie scary, but nauseating.
The Matrix (1999)
Confusing plot
I saw this movie recently and would not recommend it. The plot is confusing and hard to follow. I found the movie to be way too long and way too boring. This movie probably appeals most to science fiction buffs. Both my twenty year old son and I were not impressed--we couldn't wait for the movie to end.
