Whatever Happened to Harold Smith? (1999)
DISCO RULES!
Well the British film industry has certainly excelled itself this time. This film is original, comical, extremely fun and is guaranteed to have you boogieing the night away!
Michael Legge is fantastic as Vince Smith, and you cannot help but feel for his character in his love torn feelings. Harold Smith is also great but Legge has the 'fever'.
If you liked and enjoyed 'Saturday Night Fever' then this is the film for you. But it is in my opinion that this film is much better, so if you only liked it you will love 'Whatever Happened To Harold Smith?' just as I did.
DISCO RULES!
Fight Club (1999)
Go and see it!!!
If you have not seen this film yet then what are you doing reading this, go and see it right now!!! Fight Club is the most original film that I have had the pleasure to see in a very, very long time. The story is about a man trying to find himself, to see where his life is going. Is it his own life he is leading, or a life lead by a consumer society of which most of us are probably guilty of leading. Do we really need that new car, house or that new piece of furniture, the answer is probably no, but yet we buy these things all the same. The film explores these ideas in a very unusual manner, but yet it is very effective in the way in which it is handled.
If you are to see this film which I strongly suggest that you do, do view it with an open mind. Don't avoid it because of it's portrayed violence, the message behind the violence is one worth standing up to and taking notice of. Remember that Fincher wanted this movie to be seen as a black comedy, which I have to say it is even if it is as black as the night.
Double Jeopardy (1999)
Disappointing
The film in my opinion was a bit of a let down. It had the potential to be an excellent film. I thought that the director perhaps could not be bothered to explore all possibilities and many story lines were not developed, they were left up in the air. I felt that it also could have been much more emotional than it was. Not exactly a bad film though but you may find that you will have to fill in a few gaps yourself.
