The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood (2000)
Not bad but not very "Duke" like
When I tune in to see the Dukes TV series there are certain things I expect to see. This movie had almost none of them and a lot of things I didn't expect. First, John Schneider's singing career should have been left out of this movie. In fact, most of the singing should have been left out. The Dukes of Hazzard featured a lot of car chases, sneaky plots, and fist fights. Where were they in this movie? The sneaky plot was so convoluted that it was lost in this movie. Fist fights happen but since we loose track of what is going on we really don't care about them. More then those two put together is the loss of the car chases. The General jumps a whole one time and that was just to show off. The TV show usually had car chases consisting of half the show with the final chase having the Dukes chasing the bad guys while the police chase the Dukes while some outside police force is in the chase as well. They all come together at the end with the Dukes fouling the bad guy's plot while the outside police force fouling up Boss and Rosco's scheme. Cooter fixes the cars, Enos and Cletus chase the Dukes, and Boss and Rosco cause all the trouble. None of that was in this movie. The characters were badly out of place. Luke broken hearted, Bo singing, Cooter doing nothing, Enos having a relatively big part, Cletus almost never seen, and Rosco loving a STUFFED dog? This movie also treated the loved General Lee like it was nothing more then a car. It is there to provide transportation only (and to show off once). This is driven home even harder then they have to replace the cars transmission. My final score for it is a 4. While in itself it was a fun movie they could have included the elements that made us love the Dukes, instead of having a ton of country singers.
Bride of Chucky (1998)
Better than the first 3, shouldn't be compared with them
One of the best horror / comedy movies of '98! Laughed my butt off for the first hour and the last 30 minutes were truly intense! I know a lot of people won't see this movie because they think it is just another sequel to the first 3, nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, you don't have to have seen the first 3 to see this one. If you like dark-humor comedies you'll love this one!
The Matrix (1999)
the Matrix, the biggest rip-off of '99
I hated this movie. Half the story line was stolen from a Star Trek episode called "The Thaw" and the other half was taken from the movie "Dark City." The only orignal touch was the Kung-Fu fighting, which isn't original at all. I gave this movie a 3, don't see it, instead watch Star Trek, Dark City and the Terminator and give credit to the people who came up with these ideas in the first place.
