Here on Earth (2000)
Positively Horrendous
11 December 2000
Warning: Spoilers
This is kind of a spoiler... Josh Hartnett and Chris Klien are adorable. They are cute, each in their own way, and are refreshingly different from the generic Leo and Matt Damon clones. Despite these qualities, this movie was horrible. Even though they are good-looking, I cannot stare at them for two hours like Here on Earth requires. This movie was boring. Boring, boring, boring. I almost felt entitled to pick up a copy of War and Peace to entertain myself. The horribly sappy dialogue, the lagging scenes, and the overall "fakeness" make this a movie that I hope never to see again.

I was not asking for much out of this movie. I just wanted to kill two hours. However, after fast forwarding through the seemingly endless bickering and babbling and utter confessions of the soul, it took up about 40 minutes. Had LeeLee Whatsername chosen Jasper instead of Kelley, I might have watched the whole movie. Then again, War and Peace is looking better all of the time.

School Ties (1992)
9/10
I've Been There
9 September 2000
I am a huge fan of Fraser, and I own most of his movies. I have always enjoyed School Ties, although I never really appreciated it until I spent my first week in college. Feeling completely different and alone, I put the video in my TV/VCR combo and hermitted for two hours. I may not of faced the harshness that Greene felt, and I was not the victim of some anti-ethnic group, but I was pressured into doing a lot of stuff that I didn't feel comfortable doing, just like Fraser's character. They way he handled it made me realize that I shouldn't give in to anyone....I love you Brendan, you are my hero. Even if it was just a role.
