Saving Silverman (2001)
I DON'T NORMALLY COMMENT ON MOVIES UNLESS I TRULY FEEL ONE WAY ABOUT IT...
Alot of times you will see movie comments/reviews on films on here, and they will be short and to the point. I would tend to get upset with people leaving these type of comments because any movie certainly is due its credit in some fashion. I love comedy movies, although I have no idea how this movie ever got made. While the PLOT is a good CONCEPT, the movie itself is awful. The jokes are nothing more then slap happy , jibberish. Again, I love comedy movies of all sorts.. THIS MOVIE IS A HUGE FLOP and while I really was starting to like BLACK more with his recent film "SHALLOW HAL" this movie takes a big nose dive..
TWO VERY BIG THUMPS DOWN for the one of the woarst comedys of all time..
The Contender (2000)
GGP = Great performance, good script, poor ending
While I certainly enjoyed contender, I was a bit upset with a few aspects of the movie mainly the ending. This movie had a great deal of strong points and is very worthy of seeing, although be warned that this movie will end with one side taking victory which is truly upsetting considering how great of a movie this could of been. sadly, this movie contains a true hollywood ending although the ending speech is good I feel the whole ending was not realistic and I was actually sad that they pulled some half way scam to stop the good canadate to be put into office.
7/10 only because of the truly great performance's.
The Opportunists (1999)
Walken is a great actor.. although, not even himself can save this film
WEll, i was looking forward to watching this movie, as i am a huge walken fan. After watching this movie, my first reaction to my friend who watched it with me was.. wow that really sucked.. now, .. don't get me wrong, this movie doesn't fail because of the people in the movie, its just the overall style of the movie.. now, I'm a huge fan of bringing the least hollywood into a movie, but this movie is a bit dry.
I felt there was a few strong points to this film, such as not showing silly things as a romance between the daughter and the housemate ( which i'm still uncertain actually who he is ) , and another good job in this film is over-all PLOT... although, again i'll go back again and make note of how the style of this movie, HAS GREAT POTENTIAL, but just fails.
After thinking about this movie more, I would recommend seeing it once, but this is not a movie with high replay value, although who knows.. If walken was not in this movie for sure it would be alot worse..
Insomnia (1997)
PEOPLE who said this movie wasn't good, NEED to get a reality check.
This movie is fantasic, I've been waiting to see this dvd for such a long time, i'ts been sitting in my dvd rack for over 1 month, finally got a chance to watch it.. wow. I AM AMazed.. I was glued to the screen the whole time, this is truly a classic in my mind. Movies with little dialog, can sometimes be the best.. great dialog is not what makes a movie, and how can some of you say this movie was boring, and wasn't good at all.. this movie is a classic, and in my mind beats any STAR WARS MOVIE .. You have all these kids running to see these star wars movie which have no realistic plot, completely lame(not trying to bash the star wars movie, though i will admit i'm not a fan at all, though i loved the matrix, blade runner, ect.. stars wars just is STUPID, but thats another topic) This movie is just plain fantasic, and really deserves more hype then it got!! Watching it with sub titles even added more effect, and i think that if it was in english, it probably wouldn't have the same effect.. this movie is just plain brilliant, amazing is all i can say..
Stigmata (1999)
THIS MOVIE IS FANTASIC, 10 OUT OF 10. CRITICS HAVE NO IDEA AND ARE POINTLESS WASTE OF OUR $$$
oK, first off this movie is fantasic. I'm a strong believer in jesus and love him along with the rest of my family. I will admit this movie was just great, it was very real, and alot of these comments i see of other users that this movie will get banned, is just stupid. Maybe the people posting comments about how this movie should get banned need to rent the movie "PRIEST" made in 1994 which was actually alot woarse this what you might see in stigmata. It dealt with gay issues in the church and i think that people need to open up more to movies, again remember it's a MOVIE, AND IT'S purp is to entertain us, and WOW, WOW JUST MAYBE WE MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING from a movie? like that maybe it's posable that tthere is corruption in the church? Anyway this movie gets a 10+ will written, excellent acting.. btw to the guy who made the comment about the bad camera angles and speicall effects you i can tell have no idea of what a movie is trying to do. Do you expect the camera to show you every little thing ?? don't you think that it's posabe that the peopl ewho mad this film wanted you THINK for a second what was going on, or what she was feeling, or whatever..
