Save the Last Dance (2001)
Better than I expected!
I did not expect to enjoy the film as much as I did, being classified as a romance/dance film. However the underplayed romance and minimal dance left alot of room for the drama of the characters to evolve. A confronting tearjerker which I felt did not slip into too many cliches, and seemed more real to me than alot of Hollywood "teen" movies. I liked the fact that it was set in a gritty neighbourhood in Chicago, people were poor, had problems and were trying to cope, but these issues were not overdramatised. It was a nice change from the white middle-class affluence portrayed in most Hollywood films. This film has SOUL.
Mr. Accident (2000)
Hilarious slapstick family entertainment
This was a charming film that surprised me by being so well made and enjoyable. Set in a fantasy Sydney in which the sails of the opera house are big eggs and the hero is Rojer Crumpkin who is the maintenance man at the egg factory. He is a bumbling but likable soul who gets caught up with the girlfriend of his villainous boss. The movie is full of sight gags and the music was great. The sets and cinematography were fantastic, as was the performances of the actors. I can recommend this film to anyone who likes a good laugh.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
Maximum entertainment. It would be impossible to enjoy a film more than this.
This entertainment feast of a film was a truly satisfying movie experience. It is a hilarious, suspenseful, action filled film with brilliantly portrayed characters. It out pulps Pulp Fiction by a mile for its humour and constant interest level. My vote for best movie of 1998.
