The Glass House (2001)

Easily Amused

[26 January 2002]

Those of you whom claim that this movie was "the best of all time," you are easily amused. This film is, yes, a little good, but all in all, the plot is destroyed by holes. Like the other person said, you could call this the Swiss Cheese House. There are so many holes, and poor script. Sobieski seems bored, even as she's acting, you can tell she just wants to get it over with. The way her lines are sortof rushed, or she's just quiet. And Morgan, I'm a fan of his, but he had a pitiful character. He used the word "Sweet!" too often, and he was so easily bought into staying quiet and easily amused at all the merchandise and things the Glasses showered him in. Skarsguard's character is terrible.. I mean, first, loan sharks are obviously going to want their money pretty quick after they give the loan. Like the other girl said, you only get about 20-30K max, I believe. There's really no hope in trying to pay off your loans with that. And Lane's character.. was the script-writer really really bored when he had Erin Glass get hooked on drugs? I mean, really, why is she injecting herself anyway?

I suppose a few good points of the movie is the music score.. some of the lines. But that's about it.

Jumping Ship (2001 TV Movie)

Cute for Kids.

[6/10 · 18 August 2001]

Jumping Ship was a cute movie, some of the action might be a little intense for some of the target audience (7-10 year old's), but it should be on the money for 11 and 12 year old's. Andrew Lawrence has grown some, well he should've, he is human. But the fact that the triplets are working together on a show is refreshing. But one thing I found a bit comical was the fact that the name Jake Hunter (Played by Matthew Lawrence) is almost the exact same as one of his previous characters, Jack Hunter, on the TV series 'Boy Meets World'. But again, on the movie, the plot is alright, the characters are alright, but the fact that a crocodile was in the ocean seemed a bit, well, odd. But I'm not an animal expert so I wouldn't know.
