Joan of Arc (1999)
Fun Historical Piece but Grasps for philosophy
The Messanger, in my opinion, is a very unique and well made historical piece (despite how inaccurate it might be). Milla Jovovich plays Joan as a very ignorent and quite annoying women as I would imagine her to be. What I hated about the film is that I walked away confused and rather un happy about the ending. The movie made me detest religeon even more because it seemed so corrupt, confusing and primitive. Dustin Hoffmans character was very interesting but I felt it left me to torn in the end.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
One Damn good Thriller!! What an ending!!
I am glad to see that the old-style horror flick is coming back, no jenifer love hewit! I am not even going to consider seeing scream 3. This movie draws you in and you feel like what you are whatching is real. The ending is so incredible and apropriate!! Don't expect jump in your seat scares but non-stop goosebump-lke scares which are far more long lasting. I would definatly recomend that a person be familiar with the stories about the Blair witch before seeing this although they do say them in the movie, just not everyone remebers them towards the end (the whole child murder thing), I had to remind my bro.
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
I can't believe you guys, It was awsome!!
This movie is an incredible achievment and gave me everything I hoped to see. I left the theater feeling much like I did after seeing a New Hope. It is very similar but we must remember that it is an entirely different movie. You people are too hard on it! Every actor played the scene well, Jar Jar was hilarious (his character is supposed to be annoying, there's room for character change in 2&3), I'm totally left hanging for the 2nd and 3rd episodes.The action scene were simply masterpice and the light saber duel......BEST FIGHT SCENE EVER! See this movie, don't listen to what the cookie-cutter critics and film noir/independent rejects are saying and just have F-U-N!! p.s. The Senator Palatine sub-plot is very interesting.
October Sky (1999)
A Truly Inspiring Story.
October Sky is a perfect movie. I left the theater feeling inspired from the stories of those Rocket boys. Being a true story, I knew the outcome before I entered the theater, Homer would succeed, but throughout the entire movie I kept asking myself how that was going to happen. Homer was a determined boy to overcome all the problems he faced. I really recommend this one. Go see it.
Payback (1999)
A very entertaining movie
This movie has all the shootem up action of a good action movie and never leaves you uninterested. No matter how hard they would like to advertise that he is a "bad" guy it is not true, he is a good guy with extremely "bad guy" methods. He never harms an innocent, he helps an injured dog, and falls in love. The crowd always usually needs to bond to a character and no matter how mean Gibson's character seems, you still like him, he is also pretty funny.
Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows (1998)
Great movie! Wrestling fans are sure to like.
I have been a Bret Hart fan for as long as I can remember and when I heard of his betrayal by the WWF I was mad. This film portrays events leading up to and a bit after the Montreal incident. I think it is a really good film. I especially liked the behind the scenes aspect of the WWF.
A Bug's Life (1998)
Pixar makes great Movies!
I saw "A Bugs Life" and I can say that it is one of the most imaginative funny movies of the year. I was laughing throughout the entire movie. Kids will love the crazy characters and colorful scenes but I don't think they will appreciate the comedy like an adult will. Pixar also shows the academy award winning animation short, "Geri's Game" in the beginning and it is also very funny. Go see it.
Mighty Joe Young (1998)
Incredible!! Mighty Joe Young is a special effects wonder!
I just recently took my little cousin to Mighty Joe Young and I was enchanted by this movie. I loved the original when I was a kid and I love this one even more. Charlize and Bill are great. The special effects are absolutely amazing in every scene. The movie also has a good message about endangered species. A great film for all ages.
