Hero (2002)
2/10
B-O-R-I-N-G

This is the first (and hopefully only) time I have EVER fallen asleep in a theater. Not only that, but the only thing that woke me up (dead serious, folks) was the person behind me SNORING.

Overdone cinematography and a general sense of self-righteousness engulfs this dog of a flick. Don't see it on a dare. The plot was predictable, the acting was bad (even while dubbed), and the effects ellicited more laughs than anything else.

2 out of 10, and that's only because my wife is convinced it might have a deeper meaning. Quite possibly the single worst film ever put to film (and this includes Dude, Where's My Car?)

Long live Conan!
8 October 2000
Thank God David left for CBS (Crud Broadcasted Seasonally) and took that joke of a band leader with him. I'll grant that Dave had his moments in the 80's, but Paul alone makes his show completely unwatchable. He's often rude to his guests, slow on his jokes, and most of his "good" material consists of stumbling over punchlines and waiting for his audience to respond to the "Applause" sign when it lights up. Can there be anything worse than a comedian who gets his laughs merely as a courtesy, not due to any actual talent?

The temper tantrum he threw over not getting Carson's gig was ridiculous, and given his mediocre performances, he should have seen it coming. Oh well, his decision to jump ship gave the world Conan and Andy, so I guess he deserves indirect praise for that.

Deep Impact (1998)
4/10
At least they killed Tea
24 April 2000
Warning: Spoilers
Tea Leoni is quite possibly the worst actress on the planet. She must be one heck of a person, because David Duchovny certainly didn't marry her for her potential as a mega-star. Her death was the high point of the film, we can only wish it had happened somewhere in the opening credits.

May the good Lord rescue Morgan Freeman from ever having to act with such poor co-stars again, the man deserves MUCH better than this.

Freejack (1992)
3/10
Wow, that was pathetic
24 April 2000
Bad acting, bad writing, bad effects......what more could you ask for? Emilio Estevez gives his standard performance, which only BEGINS the troubles of this film. Not to be outdone, Mick Jagger manages to butcher most every scene he is in, and Rene Russo does an uncanny impersonation of a tranvestite in need of estrogen therapy. It's a great film if you need something to make fun of on a slow Friday night. Any attempts at taking it seriously should be quickly stifled with sizable quantities of fermented beverages, it's far too bad for a straight viewing.

Over-hyped
14 August 1999
Look, I know that as a college student and film fan I'm supposed to prattle on that this was the coolest, scariest film ever. Well, it's not. The idea behind it is great, the execution is decent, but when it all comes to an end I had to agree with the rest of the audience I saw it with: "You mean, that's it??" The ending didn't leave you hanging, it just left you. This was the first film I ever saw where the whole audience responded at the end with a collective "You've gotta be kidding me, what the heck was that?" Plenty of people have said it scared them away from camping, all it did for me was make me a little nauseated (The Blair Sick Project strikes again) and wish I still had the money I paid to see it. Maybe I won't go camping in places I've heard witch stories about now, but I doubt I would have before. You'll most likely go see it anyway, but I honestly don't know why.

great movie, ugly box
18 April 1999
Ever After is a wonderful film, full of humor, romance, a few nifty fights, and that justful ending we all want. On the bad side, though, it's packaged in an incredibly ugly box. :)

Con Air (1997)
5/10
what an awful ending
18 April 1999
Let's be brutally honest, no matter how much you love action films you have to admit that the end of this movie was incredibly contrived. The film could and should have ended about an hour before it actually did so, no single session of commenting could sum up all of the unnecessary footage/over acting/explosions(most of which occurred without any real cause)/etc. While enjoyable as a popcorn flick, the film isn't worth multiple viewings.

I'd rate it higher, but 10's the top.

Wow! This is a great film, one which surpasses anything I or anyone else could ever say about it. Truly one of the best films ever.
