Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003)
Silly script, HORRIBLE directing
I didn't expect much going into LB2, but this is the most notable time that the director made a mediocre screenplay WORSE. This guy only had time to read one chapter in "Directing for Dummies", apparently. Everything was in one-shots. I got so tired of seeing Reese's head 20 feet tall over and over.
Tell me also how her dog's mother just happened to be from Boston when Elle got Bruiser in Bel Air? And how a detective could possibly find that out if Bruiser had been abandoned? Suspension of disbelief can only go so far. Rent the first one again if you just have to see this character twice.
Alien³ (1992)
What a waste...
The low point of the Alien series. From the obvious continuity goofs while the opening credits are rolling to the ridiculous ending, this is just pure, stinky cinematic cheese.
The xenomorphs deserved better than this pile of crap.
The Green Mile (1999)
Easily the best American film of 1999.
After reading the book, I could not wait for this film to arrive in the theaters. I'm pleasantly surprised by how close the movie was to Stephen King's serial novel. Subtle alterations for story flow, and the removal of a superfluous plotline used primarily in the novellas to tie them together do not detract from the original story in any way.
One of the best casting jobs in recent memory, too. Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan are near-certain Oscar nominees for this one. Great ensemble acting all around.
Don't go for the large Coke, though! At 3hrs 8min *before trailers*, this one will severely test your bladder. And your heart.
October Sky (1999)
Not bad!
Saw a sneak preview of this on January 26. It's a good family film that will appeal to youngsters (for the rockets) and their parents (for the late-50's nostalgia). Mild profanity, but nothing out of the prime-time TV range. Based on a true story.
