Unbreakable (2000)
HELL OF ALOT BETTER THAN THE SIXTH SENSE!!!!
Unbreakable**1/2[2 1/2 Stars]-Better than that piece of c*** ''The Sixth Sense*1/2[1 1/2 Stars]''. There's better acting with two awesome performances by Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson who we last saw together in ''Die Hard***1/2[3 1/2 Stars]''. Another improvement is a hell of a lot better ending. Atleast there's no annoying dumb kid actor in this movie. The ending in ''The Sixth Sense'' was terrible and very confusing and this ending isn't confusing at all and happens to be an amazing twist in the movie. The only problem that this movie has similar to ''The Sixth Sense'' is the slow moving pace of the movie which makes it seem a bit long but unlike ''The Sixth Sense'' its made enjoyable by some clever humour and a very well done story with some amazing twist and turns. The only other problem with the movie is that more could have happened after the ending but that's what sequels are for and I look forward to seeing one for this movie if its made.
Cyborg 2: Glass Shadow (1993)
Good Action but its missing Van Damme and turns too much into a romance story!
Cyborg 2:Glass Shadow**1/2[2 1/2 Stars]-
This movie turns out to be a good action movie. It has some pretty cool action but a bit of an annoying plot. This movie cannot decide whether its an action movie or a romance story. Personally I thought the whole cyborg romance story was a bit ridiculous. Another thing is that this movie is missing Van Damme. I'm sorry but I felt that a sequel to CYBORG***[3 Stars] should have him in it. This movie just doesn't work well enough without him. If your just looking for some action and don't really care about anything else than this movie is for you.
Cyborg (1989)
A PRETTY GOOD MOVIE!
Cyborg***[3 Stars]-This will never be as memorable as THE TERMINATOR and UNIVERSAL SOLDIER series but it manages to be a fun film. Its got one of the best action stars Jean Claude Van Damme as the leading star plus a pretty cool villain. It also has a pretty awesome futuristic plot to it about a plague which wiped out almost the whole the world and the information about the cure is in a cyborg which has been captured by the villain and must be rescued by Van Damme and brought back to Atlanta. The movie also has a pretty awesome and brutal Van Damme fight at the end together with some cool Van Damme action scenes through out the rest of the movie.
Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000)
Nicolas Cage and Jerry Brukheimer have done it again!
Nicolas Cage and Jerry Brukheimer have done it again.They have been awesome together with this movie plus ''Con Air***1/2[3 1/2 Stars]''and''The Rock***1/2[3 1/2 Stars]''.I would definately name Nicolas Cage as best actor and Jerry Brukheimer as best producer this year and of all time.As for the movie itself,it was awesome.The movie isnt loaded with action every single minute of it like most Jerry Brukheimer movies but it has an excellent and one the most interesting plots that ive seen in a movie in a while.Some movies usually has its action scenes keeping you in intrest but this movie doesnt depend on action to do that,it depends on its great plot and acting.What also makes the movie real interesting is the techniques that are shown of how they steel 50 cars in one night.Personally i dont give a s__t what the cops are saying about criminals getting ideas of how to steal cars from this movie because that what makes the movie real interesting and car stealers are probably going to figure these things out sooner or later even with out the movie.Now for all those hard-core action fans there is action in the MOVIE!DONT WORRY!.Towards the end of the movie theres is an awesome car chase and it is one longest and with out a doubt the best car chase ever shown in a movie.Theres never been a better one,thats how awesome it was.Also there is an awesome cast with Nicolas Cage,Delroy Lindo,Will Paton,and Robert Duval and of course Angelina Jolie who was a real hottie and maybe in my opinion the best actress this year so far.And just like every Jerry Brukheimer movie this movie is pretty hilarious.If your a Nicolas Cage and Jerry Brukheimer fan and love car chasing scenes go see ''Gone In 60 Seconds''.***1/2[3 1/2 Stars]
Mission: Impossible II (2000)
JOHN WOO DOES IT AGAIN!
Mission Impossible 2***1/2[3 1/2 Stars]-Let me start by saying that the first half of this sucked and was kind of like ''Mission Impossible**[2 Stars]'' but the movie really turned around in the second half.I never seen an hour of any movies as good as the last hour of this movie.It started with tom cruise getting into a secure building which was even better than the first and he comes face to face with the villain and the 60 minutes of action begin.I have to give most of the credit to director John Woo.His directing is the best around exspecially how he managed to save this movie.It was pure John Woo action.This is the first movie where i have given the director most of the credit. Also Tom Cruise gives his best performance ever and Anthony Hopkins gives a better performnace than John Voight from ''Mission Impossible**[2 Stars]'' despite he was only in 15 minutes of the movie.But well be lookin foward to seeing him in ''Hannibal'' the sequel to ''Silence of the Lambs***[3 Stars]'' which he will most likely get this years best actor award for just like in the first.Personaly I think John Woo should get this years best directors award and and some kind of achievement award for one the best directors of all time exspecially for this movie,''Face/Off***[3 1/2 Stars], and''Broken Arrow**1/2[2 1/2 Stars].
Battlefield Earth (2000)
JUST LIKE THE NOVEL ITS ONE OF THE BEST SCIFI MOVIES EVER MADE!
Battle Field Earth***1/2[3 1/2 Stars]-The novel for this movie was raved as one of the best scifi novels ever written and thats what i would have to say the same thing about the film.It is the #1 scifi movie of 2000, better than the other two scifi movies this year, ''Pitch Black***[3 Stars]'' and ''Super Nova**1/2[2 1/2 Stars]''. It is also one of the best scifi film ever made. The story is excellent,the aliens are great,the ending is definately the best ending ever made in a scifi movie and is one hell of an explosion, and there is a lot of awsome scifi action exspecially in the last solid action packed 30 minutes of the movie.John Travolta gives another awsome and one of his best performances ever.At first i didnt like him that much as an actor but i have been very impressed with his performances in ''Face/Off***1/2[3 1/2 Stars]'',''The Generals Daughter***[3 Stars]'',and''Broken Arrow**1/2[2 1/2 Stars]'' and this movie.If you want to see some great scifi action and John Travolta in one of his best perfomances of his career then go and see ''Battle Field Earth''.
Gladiator (2000)
BEST EPIC SINCE CONAN:THE BARBARIAN AND BRAVE HEART!
GLADIATOR***1/2[3 1/2 STARS]-Best epic since ''Conan: The Barbarian (***1/2) and ''Brave Heart" (***1/2). There's an excellent story and the acting is great despite theres not a huge cast except for Russell Crowe. There's an awesome battle scene at the beginning of the movie plus some awesome sword fights and some great bloody action in the arena. The ending was also pretty awesome. This is a nice comeback for Russell Crowe since ''The Insider" (**) which also made kind of a mess for Al Pacino who made his comeback in ''Any Given Sunday (***1/2). I've never been into Russell Crowe but he was awesome in this movie and I hope to follow up on more of his movies. If you want to see a great epic go see ''Gladiator''.
Psycho III (1986)
NORMAN BATES IS CRAZIER THAN EVER IN THE BEST PSYCHO YET!
Psycho 3***1/2[3 1/2 Stars]- This is truly the best Psycho and one of the best slashers ever made. Anthony Perkins gives his best performance as Norman Bates yet and he directs just as well as Alfred Hitchcock in his directorial day-view. Better and more killing scenes. Norman Bates is crazier than ever and in this movie hes a true psycho. The whole truth about Normans mother is revealed and the ending is awesome with a great twist.
Psycho II (1983)
BETTER THAN PSYCHO/AND NO ANTHONY HITCHCOCK/BUT THERES ANTHONY PERKINS!
Psycho 2***[3 Stars]- Better than Psycho and theres no Alfred Hitchcock but theres Anthony Perkins with another great performance as Norman Bates. This movie has better acting and a better plot than Psycho. We learn the secret life of Norman Bates and the truth about his mother. This time the killer may not be Norman it may be his dead or alive? mother. This movie is filled with twist and turns, awesome and longer killing scenes, and an excellent ending which has a real great twist.
Psycho (1960)
NOTHING SPECIAL DESPITE AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE BY ANTHONY PERKINS!
Psycho**[2 Stars]- There is nothing good or bad about this movie. Its just an ok movie. The acting isn't great nor bad. But Anthony Perkins gives an excellent performance as Norman Bates and theres nothing great about any of the other actors. Also the shower scene is effective but it should have been longer. If you're a major Alfred Hitchock fan than I would recommend this movie to you but if not than skip this and go on to 'Psycho 2***[3 Stars]''.
American Psycho (2000)
ANOTHER BAD THRILLER FOR 2000/THIS AINT ''PSYCHO''/ MORE LIKE "The Talented Mr. Ripley(no stars}''
Don't expect this movie to be anything like "Psycho". It's another bad thriller like "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (no stars). So far there have been no good thrillers made for 2000 and "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (no stars) and this movie is a real bad start for 2000 thrillers. A lot of people seemed to love the book for this movie but I thought the book was horrible. Despite some of the really cool gruesome scenes the book had it was boring and had a real terrible ending. I was expecting the movie to be an improvement over the book, but sadly it wasn't. It was just as bad as the book. It had cool gruesome scenes just like the book and was just as boring as the book. What's even worse is the ending of the movie was worst than the one in the book. I'm not going to spoil the ending for you all I'm going to say is that the movie's ending was an extension of the books ending and was even worse. I feel sorry for Christian Bale for being in this movie. I thought his acting was excellent, good enough to get this years best actor academy award, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen because of him being in this movie. *1/2[1 1/2 stars]
Romeo Must Die (2000)
JET LI AND ROMEO MUST DIE RULE!
romeo must die****[4 stars]-let me start by saying that jet li rules and this is his best movie ever and the best action martial-arts movie ever made. so jackie chan is the #1 action star in hong kong, well i find that hard to believe when i compare him to jet li because jet li is way better than jackie chan. i mean hes already been in three awsome movies, this one, ''lethal weapon 4***1/2[3 1/2 stars]'' and ''black mask***[3 stars]. jackie chan has not been in anything good except for ''rush hour***[3 stars]'' which was good becuase of chris tucker but jackie chan was also good. with jet li and chow yun fat who has been in ''the replacement killers***1/2[3 1/2 stars]'' and ''the corrupter***1/2[3 1/2 stars]'', and almost got a nomination for best actor in ''anna and the king**1/2[2 1/2 stars]'', jackie chan is totaly outcasted. ''romeo must die'' is cobined with perfect action,martial arts fighting,acting,hillarious humor, and storyline and of course jet li. it is a perfect movie with absolutely no problems to it. it also has a perfect cast with jet li,dmx,Aaliyah,delroy lindo, and russel wong. the action is a combination of the action in ''black mask***[3 stars]'', ''the corrupter***1/2 [3 1/2 stars]'', and ''the replacement killers***1/2[3 1/2 stars]. the humor is a combination of the humor in ''letahl weapon 4***1/2[3 1/2 stars]. the final martial-art fight at the end is a combination of the ones in ''mortal kombat***[3 stars]'' and ''mortal kombat 2:annihilation***1/2[3 1/2 stars]''. so far this movie is the best movie of 2000 and jet li is the best actor and action star of 2000.
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)
THEY SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST!
Freddy's Dead:The Final Nightmare is the best nightmare ever. Freddy is the coolest he's ever been. the nightmare killing scenes are awesome, the best of the series. this one reveals the whole story about freddy kruger and man was it a twist when they revealed that freddy had a daughter and that she was the only one that could kill him. i mean you would never had though freddy had a daughter because hes been killing kids his whole life. im glad they didn't end the series for good because freddy going to be back in ''freddy vs jason'' coming out october 13th which i predict is going to be the best nightmare, friday the 13th, and the best horror movie ever made. a lot of people might say well freddy came back in ''new nightmare***1/2'' but thats not true because that was because that involved freddy coming into our reality and haunting the star of ''a nightmare on elm street**1/2'' and didn't follow this movie but the upcoming one does and it also follows ''jason goes to hell:the final friday***1/2''. ***1/2[ 3 1/2 out of 4]
Reindeer Games (2000)
A THRILLER WITH SOME AWSOME TWIST AND TURNS
Most people hated this movie because they were expecting to see an action packed movie but that's not what this movie is. This movie is more of a thriller, so for those people who are expecting an action packed movie don't expect action throughout the whole movie. There is a load of action at the end of the movie, and the end of the movie has a real awesome twist. Basically the whole movie is full of great twists and turns. Ben Affleck gives his best performance since "Armageddon" (***1/2). Gary Sinise gives one of his best performance ever, especially as the bad guy. Personally I think playing the bad guy is what Gary Sinise is best at. Danny Trejo and Clarence Williams were two awesome criminals and Charlize Theron was hot. As long as people know what to expect from this movie they will enjoy it. ***[3 OUT OF 4]
The Whole Nine Yards (2000)
NOT BAD, COULD OF BEEN FUNNIER
Not bad. This movie could have been better and funnier. There were some hilarious scenes but not enough. Basically all the laughs came from Matthew Perry. Also the movie did not have too much of a plot. There was a story to it but it could have had more. What kept this movie alive was its solid cast with Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Michael Clarke Duncan, Natasha Hensridge and Rosanna Arquette. This was a good improvement for Bruce Willis since THE SIXTH SENSE (*1/2). I would recommend this movie to anybody who is a fan of any of the cast members, especially Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry and to others I would recommend waiting for video. For me, the movie was good but it could have been better. **1/2[2 1/2 OUT OF 4]
Pitch Black (2000)
ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE MATRIX BUT STILL ONE OF BEST SCI-FI MOVIES EVER MADE!
Almost as good as THE MATRIX (***1/2). The only thing that held it back was its ending. Now the ending was good but from the type of movie this was, I kind of expected a better ending. The rest of the movie was phenomenal. This movie has some great references to other great sci-fi films. It was a combination of ALIENS (***), PREDATOR (***1/2) and BATS (***). It also had some great Matrix type special effects. But what I really liked about this movie was that despite its great references to other sci-fi movies, it didn't try to copy any of them unlike this year's first sci-fi movie SUPERNOVA (**1/2). Sci-Fi fans will love this movie. ***[3 out of 4]
Scream 3 (2000)
THE BEST TRILOGY EVER MADE!
The Scream trilogy is definitely the best trilogy ever made. None of the Scream movies make the trilogy look bad at all. There are trilogies out there that are great but sometimes has one of its sequels in away ruins the trilogy and another which makes the trilogy look great. For example I would consider star wars a great trilogy despite I wasn't to crazy about Star Wars (**), The Empire Strikes Back (**1/2), and The Phantom Menace (**) but I loved Return of the Jedi (***1/2) which made star wars a great trilogy. In the Scream trilogy Scream (***), Scream 2 (***1/2) and Scream 3 are all great. The reason why this one was best was because it managed to be different, scarier, funnier, and more unpredictable than the others. Scream was scary and funny and not really too unpredictable. Scream 2 managed to have everything that Scream 3 had but Scream 3 was more exciting, and had some more awesome and cool gory killing scenes. I don't think another trilogy can be made to be as good as the Scream trilogy. Go see this movie 100 times and buy the whole Scream trilogy right away when it comes out on video. ****[4 out of 4]
Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996)
BEST OF THE FOUR
HELLRAISER 4:BLOODLINE***1/2[3 1/2 STARS]-THE BEST HELLRAISER YET. IN THIS ONE WE ARE INTRODUCED TO THE WHOLE STORY OF HOW THE BOX WAS CREATED AND WHO CREATED IT. THE MOVIE TAKES PLACE IN THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. THE PAST SHOWS HOW THE BOX WAS CREATED TO OPEN DOORS TO HELL AND THE CREATION OF THE FIRST CENEBITE. THE PRESENT SHOW PINHEADS FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THE ANCESTOR OF THE PERSON WHO CREATED THE BOX. THE FUTURE SHOWS HOW PINHEAD CAN BE DESTROYED FOR GOOD AND WILL BE DONE BY THE ANCESTOR. GREAT PLOT, AWSOME GORY SCENES, EXCELLENT ENDING, AND OF COURSE ANOTHER GREAT PERFORMANCE BY DOUG BRADLEY AS PINHEAD.

Cleopatra (1999)
My review
Cleopatra**1/2[2 1/2 Stars]-Cleopatra is another two part mini-series that has one real good part to it, Part 1, and then has a part that spoils the whole movie, Part 2. Part 2 wasn't that bad, but should have been better. Part 1 had an interesting and well made plot while Part 2 started out silly and the plot did not seem to be as interesting as the plot in Part 1 until the last half hour of Part 2. Another problem were the supporting actors of Timothy Dalton as Julius Caesar, Billy Zane and Leonor Varela kind of bothered me. It bothered me that Part 2 only had those two in it and did not have Timothy Dalton from Part 1. Otherwise the movie was enjoyable.
The Matrix (1999)
My review
Average rating among other critics 3 stars out of four
My review
THE MATRIX***1/2[3 1/2 STARS]-Another excellent sci-fi movie. Keanu Reeves was excellent in this movie. Personally, I'm not crazy about some of the other movies he's been in except I really did like his movie "The Devil's Advocate".with Al Pacino. I think Larry Fishburne was also excellent in his role. What I love about this sci-fi movie is that it is the first sci-fi with such great action sequences. I also like the idea that just like "Dark City" it makes you think of whether the world we live in is real or not real. And that is something that could give me and other people the creeps. A lot of you are probably wondering if this movie or "Dark City" is better. All I can say is that each is better in its own way. This movie was better as an action movie and "Dark City" was better as a horror, but both of these movies were great movies.
The Replacement Killers (1998)
The best Hong Kong action movie ever made
My rating- ***1/2[3 1/2 Stars]
This is the best Hong Kong action movie I have ever seen. This is the first action movie that has had a load of action and managed to have great acting and storyline to it. This movie is the first movie that introduced me to Chow Yun Fat who is now one of my top favorite action stars and I'm looking forward to seeing him in "The Corruptor". Two other stars starring in this movie are Mira Sorvino ("Mimic") and Dany Trejo ("Con Air", "From Dusk till Dawn" and from "Dusk till Dawn: The Henchman's Daughter:)
Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
Not the worst but not the best either
My Rating- **[2 Stars]
This one would not fall in my best nor worst list of Star Trek movies. It would probably fall around where Star trek: Generations falls. The first half of this movie was slow and boring and the second half had little action and excitement. It looks like the Star Trek odd curse has cursed this movie also. I would advise people to skip this one.
