Bedazzled (2000)
I wish that everyone would see this movie!
I loved this movie, for many reasons! Elizabeth Hurley being the obvious reason, she is so sexy, and she just lights up the screen. She is one heck of an actress! Also I'm not a Brenden Frazier fan...at all, but he is perfect in this movie, he is so funny and plays the 7 different roles so well. It's done to perfection. This is a really fun movie, go see it and get ready to see an enjoyable film. I rate it 9 of 10!
Highlander: Endgame (2000)
HIGHLANDER IS BACK IN A BIG WAY BABY!
I've got to say, I went into this movie with very high expectations, and it did not disappoint me at all! Connor and Duncan together on the big screen! It's something I've been begging for since I first saw the TV show. I am a bigger fan of the show, it had all the elements of the movies that I liked, plus it reinvented itself with new elements. The movies in the past have sucked, the first ruled, but the 2 since are really bad.
This is the movie that should have been made as a sequel, and I for one will forget the other 2 and just relish the first and the last. The fight sequences are faster and more polished than the lightsaber battles in Star Wars Episode 1. I CAN'T STRESS HOW AMAZING THEY ARE! You also have all of the
elements of the show that Pleasantly surprised me like THE WATCHERS, JOE DAWSON, and METHOS! The Villain KELL is a nasty guy too, his band of renegade immortals are cool and fun to watch, they provide alot of amazing action too! Without giving up too much, I can't wait for more movies. Christopher Lambert is brilliant, but he is aging and it is less believable that he is an immortal. Time has come to give way to a younger more talented Adrian Paul, he truly is amazing. Then we can be treated to the Highlander tales of Duncan and Methos, that would be fun!
This movie isn't perfect, but it's darn good, I loved it. The acting is good, the story moves fast, and it does keep you on the edge of your seat. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SEE IT.
Gojira ni-sen mireniamu (1999)
Just about what you would expect, UNFORTUNATELY!
I went into this movie with pretty high hopes, honestly, I did. My guess was, after the American destruction of Godzilla a couple of years ago, the boys over in Japan would take up the reigns and crank out a Godzilla movie unlike any other seen before. BOY WAS I WRONG. I remember back in the days of saturday childrens matinees, when they would show all of the old Godzilla movies, I mean I've seen them all! GUESS WHAT? They are all the same! It's like Friday the 13th, you can't do anything with a non-talking star like Jason, Same basic story except you put new bodies in the way to get killed. Godzilla, it's a new monster. I've always hated the humans in the Godzilla movies, this is no exception, they think they know it all, but they don't, they stink, and they are on screen way too much, the human scenes always kill the movies. If you go knowing there is nothing special about this show, and it like all of the others, you'll get what you expect. If you want more, sorry, as long as these movies make a ton of money in Japan, they aren't required to raise the standard on GODZILLA. BUMMER!
Retro Puppet Master (1999)
A reason to sell more toys? YOU BETCHA! (minor spoilers)
You know, I'm sure the boys were sitting around the office one day and said, "HOW CAN WE MAKE MORE MONEY?" They had made every possible variant of toy they could make with their current characters. So they decide, let's steal the star wars idea, A PREQUEL, and we can make up all new characters, and sell them as toys. Incidently something they did in puppet master 3, but who cares? Anyway they pick a point in time before the first movie when Toulon is still alive, he and the puppets are sitting around, and a wooden head roll on the floor and the puppets want to know if that is a dead family member or something, it doesn't matter. So the tale of the puppet master ancestry begins. It's long, it's boring, no body cares.
The funniest part is, they tell the origin of these new characters in the movie, but give no clues of their fate. SO GUESS WHAT, once the revenue from the new toys pays off, they can fundsa new (and 4th straight rotten) sequel, called "PUPPET MASTER 8 THE SEQUEL TO THE PREQUEL OF THE FATE OF THE DEAD RETRO PUPPETS!" hold your breath!
Curse of the Puppet Master (1998)
Pure Mung!
What's Mung you ask yourself, I DON'T KNOW! And I really don't know what this movie was ever made for, boy is it bad. Andre Toulon is abandoned for a new rich owner. Basically the maintenance man on the grounds is dim witted, and a bunch of guys make fun of him, so the puppets kill them all. At one point 2 of the puppets are walking side by side and the camera shows them down to the tops of their shoes, the legs were not moving! That is bad film making! You can almost see the stick connected to the side of their leg that they used to move them forward. BAD, BAD, BAD. Then the rich guy uses the dim wit to build a doll, so he can try to transfer a human soul into a puppet body. The daughter is a bad actress, she doesn't even get naked, which is a standard in bad horror movies. The puppets role is once again down played, so with bad human acting, it kills the movie. BASICALLY IT STINKS START TO FINISH.
Puppet Master 4 (1993)
HIGH HOPES fall short
I'm a big fan of the demonic puppets. Looking at the surface of this one, it looks pretty good! You've got Decapitron, the puppets, and a new villain in THE TOTEM! Unfortunately, the little punk that's doing this project to animate, inanimate objects, can't act. He stinks! His girlfriend is worse. If they were left out, it would probably be cool, BLADE VS. THE TOTEM. I'd watch that for 2 hours. But instead, the puppets role is down played, and the whole movie suffered because of it. The mystical Skull guy who created the totem is corny at best, and Decapitrons appearance is long awaited, short, and really quite disappointing. You'd be better off watching the first one again.
Superman (1978)
Quite simply the best comic adapted movie EVER!
AGAIN, Quite simply the best comic adapted movie EVER! SIT DOWN BATMAN! I usually hate it when they tell a comic story from the beginning, it takes too long to tell the origin, so the movie goes on for 4 hours, or ends up sucking, this is not the case! This movie shows us something different. It kept me glued to the screen the whole time. Movie makers wish they could make movie magic like this today, it is simply ELECTRIFYING!
The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)
the good: 2 words: BOBA FETT, the rest: one word BLLLECCCH!
Wookies talk for 2 hours without a hint of subtitles, "major" stars of the day singing and acting like they are on the carol burnet show(yes that is bad), and a complete lack of entertainment and story. The only cool part of it is this is the first appearance of BOB FETT! You also get a better look at all of the cantina aliens that you miss during the movie. I wish Bea Arthur would shut up though! Mute it and that portion will be acceptable. I got this as a Christmas present, and I can see why this was only shown once and to never be shown again! THIS IS BAD MOJO! A TRUE DISGRACE TO THE SUPERIOR STAR WARS LEGACY!
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
AMAZING, better than expected, I saw things I never thought I would see!
The thing I really loved about this movie is the new ways we saw the force work. They really expanded on it's true power, rather that moving a chair, or choking someone, it really went to the next step! Darth Maul was too low key, I wanted more of him. The most exciting parts of the movie are without a doubt the pod races, and the lightsaber duels!
TRULY REVOLUTIONARY!
