Futuresport (1998)
Jazzy, slick movie
This movie had all the key plot points, and was predictable, but the action was great and the scenes were well choreographed. Vanessa Williams brought a touch of class to it, and Dean Cain proved his potential as a leading man in the action genre. But of course, Wesley Snipes made the movie, as he usually does. Solid performances all around. A fun movie I'll definitely watch again.
The Crow: Stairway to Heaven (1998)
Don't look for what's not there
No, this show is certainly not the movie, and its biggest mistake was trying to remake the film for the pilot episode. But this show does have some excellent points. The martial arts are well choreographed because Mark Dacascos is one of the greatest martial artists in the world; the music is excellent and well used to underscore certain scenes; and the flashbacks add to the dark mood the show is trying to achieve. If you don't watch it looking for a take-off on the movie, but as something totally distinctive of the film, then you might find it as cool and unusual as I do. Check it out!
A Will of Their Own (1998)
It had the best of intentions
I like this movie because of its noble attempt to cover women's impact on the twentieth century. Although at times it was not accurate, and it sacrificed quality for melodrama, this was an engaging movie with some interesting characters. I looked forward to it, and though it did not live up to my expectations, I would watch it again.
