American Pie (1999)
I don't understand all the hoopla over this flick...
I just saw the nc-17 version and I am trying to understand what made this movie objectionable to any audience. There were a few rather crude scenes, but nothing we don't encounter everyday on television. I expected to see a real skin flick and only saw a short scene with bare breasts. Ratings people, get a life....I don't like teen movies where the teens look like tweens and older. This film is grossly overrated. The infamous "Pie" scene was a joke. Does anyone believe that the erection he has is real? Hollywood relies too much on pseudo-realism and this movie isn't. There is no redeeming social value and little entertainment. I was disappointed.
Jack Frost (1998)
Who butchered this film?
I rented this film based on the trailers that I have seen. I thought this film might be a cute family film. Not. This film lacks the genuine warmth similar films of this genre have. I could not feel anything for this kid or his mother. The director fails to capture the audience and make us feel something. The kids father dies and I just didn't care. When he came back as a snowman, the son is more flabbergasted than happy. This film needed a major rewrite before production began. I wouldn't waste my time again.
Lost Horizon (1973)
Must see film with fantastic score...
I saw this film some years ago and promptly bought the soundtrack because it was simply excellent. Bacharach's music is endearing and should be given the recognition it richly deserves. The cinematography is awesome. Critics hated it, but they hated HOME ALONE too. I haven't found it on video but welcome anyone who can find a copy.
