Mumford (1999)
cute, light-hearted and entertaining
Mumford is a cute light-hearted story of a small town therapist known for his keen listening skills. The movie focuses on the lives of several of the doctors patients. There is Skip, the lonely billionaire, Althea, the bored wife, and the ever sexual pharmacist. We follow the Doc through his healing of his patients and his own trials and tribulations with life. In all, this is a cute and sweet movie.
10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
Will Shakespeare would be pleased
When I went to see this movie I expected that it would be a cute , dumb movie, yet was surprised to discover that the movie was cute not dumb, and quite smart. The target audience for this film is teenagers and the superb writing and effervescent acting appeals to its audience. Shakespeare is always a popular form to follow and if done so properly one can produce a fine film. 10 things I hate about you did a superb job of telling a story of coming of age and can be viewed upon as an intelligent movie that complements Shakespeare's work.
The '60s (1999)
Too much hype, not enough show
For weeks prior to the premiere of The 60's I heard a lot of hype about how it was going to be an accurate portrayal of the 1960's. There was so much hype surrounding the mini-series, yet I found that when I watched it, the program did not live up to its intents. The storyline followed too much on the romantic relationships of the characters and not enough on what they were doing at the time. Everything I read and heard about the program did not indicate that there would also be a focus on a black family, however, when I read my T.V. guide it said that The 60's would be about the lives of a
white and black family during the time frame. While watching the program I noticed that the focus was mainly on the white family and that the black family was seldom included. All in all I found this program to have had too much hype and not enough show for four hours of my time, there was however, an excellent soundtrack.
