Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Excellent story and acting
Johnny Depp was awesome and I had actually swore I would never watch a movie with him in it at From Hell, but thank God my daughter loves Orlando Bloom. This was the best movie I have seen this summer and I have seen a lot of them.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Ready for Terminator 4
Wow, this was a great show. Finally a movie that capitalizes on Arnies' strengths as an actor. This third installment really caps the Terminator Saga as well as advances the entire story. I loved the movie and the characters again.
We Were Soldiers (2002)
Awesome movie about real men
As an American I was touched by this movie and the courage of the men portrayed. The real Colonel Moore was present for the filming of the movie and was adamant about the movie portraying events as true to life as possible. His wife really did hand out the Western Union telegrams to the other wives because the US Army at the time had not foreseen the eventual escalation of U.S. dead. For the non-americans this movie offended, I can only say proudly this was an American movie about American heroes in what most Americans feel like was a tragic war that we wanted no part of. This movie was needed to give insight into the realities of the Vietnam War. I have 4 Vietnam War veterans in my family. All four saw combat either in the Marines or Army. Only one ever saw any drug use and he worked side by side with with a group known then simply as "The Company". This movie is excellent and should be a must-see for every American Teenager. Mel may be an Aussie, but I would like to proudly point out he was born in New York.
K-PAX (2001)
ET meets Starman
Superbly entertaining movie with a great performance by Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey. Kevin Spacey is the alien with a heart or is he simply an insane genius? I loved the movie, but kids under 15 will not understand it.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
Geared more towards young teens
Disney made a great movie and should have marketed it more for the 12 to 15 y/o crowd this movie would appeal to. I admit my wife and I enjoyed it as much as my 14 year old daughter. I noticed some very young kids that did seem to lose interest in the movie, but I highly recommend it for older kids.
Eye of the Beholder (1999)
Eye of the Bewildered
Surreal and confusing. The theater we attended had an usher to direct us to the rest rooms or the exit when we were leaving. I heard a man behind us say he wished they had someone at the door that could have explained that movie. I totally agreed.
Galaxy Quest (1999)
Great sci-fi comedy
I am a big-time Star Trek fan and I enjoyed this movie better
than the last two Trek movies combined. An obvious sci-fi comedy that mirrors a "well-known" cult icon, this movie was enjoyable for our entire family. Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver have a chemistry that makes me want to see them work together in other movies. See it!! Enjoy it!!
Three Kings (1999)
An excellent movie with some heart.
This is the best movie George Clooney has done since Batman. He is a very believable soldier in a movie about taking risks for the "necessity". The action was non-stop and the situations believable in a movie that was surprisingly touching in many places. Ice-Cube has to be one of the best actors on film today .
High Risk (1981)
Good action movie
This is a good action movie that was over looked because Raiders of the Lost Ark came out at the same time. Hard to find a video, but it is an excellent comedy-action movie.
Blast from the Past (1999)
More funny than I imagined and an enjoyable film for the family.
Brendan Fraser is an overlooked talent and he does a superb job in this movie. Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek had everyone in my family laughing simply with their mannerisms in character. My daughter is 13 and I had no problems with her seeing this very humorous movie. I was expecting a movie that was moderately funny, but I was laughing a lot more than I expected. Well worth seeing.
Vampires (1998)
An enjoyable vampire movie
I enjoyed this movie and I am not a James Woods fan. I go to movies for entertainment value. I do not go for enlightenment. If I want to be enlightened, I read a book. This movie was very entertaining from horror fan standpoint. It had a great gore factor that makes it unsuitable for children as well as lots of profanity, but it did entertain me the entire time.
The Thin Red Line (1998)
Worst movie I have ever seen
I have not seen Attack of the Killer Tomatos, but I felt I totally wasted my time in this movie. I hated it and my wife hated. People were walking out of the theater. There is one excellent fight when John Cusack and some soldiers take a Japanese bunker that was inspiring. I should have left the theater after that was over though.
Tarzan and the Lost City (1998)
Hanging with the apes.
This movie tries to be too many things at once. It tries to be a romance and really fails. It tries to be mystical, but manages cheesy. Some of the animal scenes are okay, but most appear too contrived.
Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
Great entertainment
This is a good movie and I found it very entertaining. I have been a Trekkie for years and, while I miss the old crew, this movie makes the TNG crew more endearing. The plot is not that complex, but it does flow well. The action was top notch and I believe I liked it better than any Star Trek movie except Wrath of Khan and The Search for Spock. A must see for Trekkies . . . and an enjoyable story for those who are not.
Hard Rain (1998)
Excellent PWC action
Personal watercraft chases make this movie very enjoyable to me. I love the inside chases more so than the ones outside. The plot is really weak, but the movie keeps your attention. Maybe if the plot had been a little stronger the movie would have done better because the actors did their part.
The Waterboy (1998)
A laugh a minute
I listened to the critics run down Adam Sandler and this movie as childish, but I found it hilarious. In my thirties, I recommended this movie to my peers and have yet to hear anyone who did not absolutely love it. The Waterboy is not meant to send a message or make you reflect on life. It is meant to make you laugh until your sides hurt and it definitely is successful at that accomplishment. This movie is an amusement park. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
Ever After (1998)
Excellent father-daughter movie
I took my 12 year old daughter to this movie and was pleased with the storyline and the content. It was appropriate for her age and she absolutely loved it.
Boogie Nights (1997)
Worst movie I have ever seen
I was not entertained or enlightened with this movie. I have only seen one other movie this bad though it was interesting to see some very good adult movie actors and actresses used in the making of this film.
