The Craft (1996)
Crafty and satisfying (SPOILERS)
Highly enjoyable teen horror movie, with a morality play at it's core. The first 2/3 are part high-school satire, part twisted buddy flick. However, for the last third of the movie the special effects and fight scenes are a bit much at times. Some of the witchcraft is more like a bad drug trip. I did enjoy watching Sarah go from meek and frightened to strong and righteous. The good guys are always more fun when they can throw a little lightning.
10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
Not just another teen flick
10 Things I Hate about you stands out from the crowd of teen movies that hit screens this year. While hardly a new idea, the script is witty, innovative, and entertaining (and has a few clever Shakespeare references, too). Some of the jokes are forced, and it has a few inevitably predictable plot twists. However, Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger are seriously talented, and the rest of the movie makes up for the few rough spots. Daryl Mitchell is also great as a frustrated English teacher.
