Dudley Do-Right (1999)

Horrible!!

[18 September 1999]

How stupid can you get? I cannot believe how unbelievably corny this movie was. A good preformance by Brendan Fraser as usual in a movie that is really bad. The only good scene is when Brendan arrives in a leather jacket on a motorcycle. But this film stinks big time! The best I can say, is you don't have to worry about children watching it! As I recall there is no language in it, and nothing but one simple kiss towards the end of it. Sarah Jessica Parker definetly does not deserve any award for this role. She did a damsel in distress turn, and was disappointing.

From one to ten (ten being the highest) I'd give this movie about a three. It really was a waste of a perfectly good hour and ten minutes! That's how long it is!

If you have a chance to see this movie, go ahead and watch it if you're into that dorky corny sort of thing, but otherwise, don't bother with it!

Mac and Me (1988)

Wonderful movie!

[18 September 1999]

I absolutely love this movie!

This movie has to be one of the best I've ever seen! Seeing it now for almost a dozen times, it still wants to make me cry every time! No, it is nothing like E.T., but yet in E.T. its almost lacking something, you know? This movie is so emotional, I feel so bad for both the kid, and the alien! His whole family is so cute and sweet. Yes, the boy is in a wheel chair, so? Its still a really good movie. If you ever get a chance to see this movie, do check it out!!!

She's All That (1999)

Cooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[27 August 1999]

I absolutely loved this movie!!!

It rocked big time!

This movie has a perfect cast, Rachel Leigh Cook, Fredie Prinze Jr., and Matthew Lillard, are all so great in this movie!

The premise is wonderful and the script is great!

I think the best part of the movie is probably when the whole school is eating lunch in the cafeteria and the bullies start picking on Rachel's younger brother. What Fredie Prinze Jr. does to them is so incredibly funny!!! All the women in the theater were screaming at this part!!! It was so funny!!

If you get a chance to see this movie check it out!!

Message in a Bottle (1999)

Wonderful chick flick

[27 August 1999]

"Although this movie tends to drag and suffers from melancholy, I did enjoy watching Kevin Costner. While the movie was pleasant enough, the book is certainly much better."

This is what a good friend of mine said about the movie.

This is what I have to say about it.

The actors had no drive whatsoever, the screenplay was just bad, the sets looked fake, and there was hardly any talk in it.

I found it to be very boring and dull.

The end gets to be a lot better, and so does Robin Write Penn's acting.

I thought the only really good actor in it was Paul Newman.

He was very funny, and was right to the point.

Two movies that reminded me of this one (which were much better than this keep in mind) were, Up Close and Personal, and To Gillian on her 37th Birthday (Both Michelle Pfeiffer movies).

I don't recommend this movie to any guy, or young teenager.

But it's probably more of a movie for an older middle-aged woman.

The Mummy (1999)

Horrible!!!!!

[27 August 1999]

I thought this movie Stank!!

This movie was truly horrible. The special effects were really good, and the acting was terrific, but the movie itself just reeked!

It was like the bringing back of the dead, and they tried to make it almost funny, but it really wasn't. It was sick and twisted!

Not one of Brendan Fraser's better movies, but he was really good!!!

He was like Indiana Jones in a way.

I hope you enjoy this movie, because I sure didn't!!

Clueless (1995)

My favorite comedy ever!!

[27 August 1999]

WONDERFUL movie making!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie has to be the best comedy of the 90's! The movie is set in California, and is about love and how teenage kids living in Beverly Hills in 1995 handle it.

It's like high school with attitude.

On the cover it says, 'Sex. Clothes. Popularity. Whatever.

Just to give you an idea of what the movie is really about, mostly kids saying words like, PHAT, DOPE, BETTY, and other words like 411, and other words that you don't understand.

I know just about every line in this movie, to give you an idea of how many times you can watch this movie!!!

Probably the best line in the whole movie is when Alicia Silverstone (Cher) and her co-star (Dee) are writing a love note to a teacher.

Cher is writing the note which has a famous Shakespearean quote in it.

Dee: "Phat! Did you write that?" Cher: "Duh, it's like a famous quote!" Dee: "Oh yea, from where?" Cher: "Cliffsnotes."

The whole movie is just hilarious! My favorite comedy of all time!!!!!!!!!

You have to watch this movie!!!!!!!!!

The Other Sister (1999)

Excellent!!!

[24 August 1999]

This movie was terrific!

I just watched this movie again for the third time a few moments ago. This movie is not only witty, but it is a real tear jerker!! I sob at the end of it every time! It's a very emotional movie. This is the best acting I have ever seen by Juliet Lewis and Diane Keaton.

Giovanni Ribisi, a new comer to the screen, is astounding, and I myself hope that all three people win, or at least get nominated for academy awards!

This is definitely a chick flick, but guys, don't turn your heads too quickly. This is a great movie that I am sure everyone will enjoy!!

Scream 2 (1997)

Really Bad!!

[24 August 1999]

This movie doesn't even compare to the first one!

This movie stank big time!! I mean come on it was almost like they had to make the sequel just because. The characters were dull and the premise was really bad!! The whole thing was gyp! If you ask me the first one was a lot better. A whole lot better!! I absolutely adored the first one!!

You might like it, but I will tell you that the ending was stupid and forced, and Jada Picket-Smith is a horrible actress in this movie!

Check it out though- you might like it.... :>

Fools Rush In (1997)

One of the best romance movies ever made!!

[24 August 1999]

This has to be at least the second best romance movie ever!!

Fools Rush In is a sweet, sensitive movie about life.

Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek are wonderful in this down to earth love story.

I love all the characters in this movie so much!

Even though I have seen this movie at least a dozen times, every time I watch it I still feel surprised at what happens.

I love this movie so much and I'm sure that once you've seen it too, you'll love it just as much!!

Bed of Roses (1996)

My Favorite Romance Movie Of All Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[24 August 1999]

Best romance movie ever made!!

This movie and Fools Rush In are my two most favorite romance movies ever made!! But this one has to come first.

Christian Slater and Mary Stuart-Masterson team up in this wonderful romantic comedy! The story is beautiful and both of them do a terrific job in it!!

The best song in the whole movie is AN INDEPENDANT LOVE SONG.

It's romantic, sweet, sad, and it's based on reality.

So what you have to do is grab your guy for an evening of laughter and romance in this movie!!

Enjoy!

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)

Not very good.

[24 August 1999]

This was an interesting movie.

I thought that this movie was very different. Johnny Depp wasn't very good at all. Juliet Lewis was horrible, and what is up with that fat woman they call mom?

The only good thing in this movie was Leonardo Dicaprio. It's not 'cause he's cute or anything, but I honestly think that this was the best acting I have ever seen him do. He does it very naturally and he is just amazingly wonderful in it.

Mary Stenburgen is weird. OK? Is she that unhappy with her husband that she has to cheat on him with a market boy, whose is like young enough to be her own son?

Johnny Depp's sisters are strange too. They're like weird, especially the middle one. She's just plain old mean!

All in all, I didn't like the movie itself one bit, but Leo was excellent.

If you get a chance to see this movie for any reason, make sure it's just to see him, otherwise, it's just a waste of time!!

With Honors (1994)

Not bad.

[23 August 1999]

This movie was so so.

Out of 1-10 10 being the highest, I'd give this movie a 5 or a 6. The acting was terrific, by all the actors, especially Joe Pesci, and Brendan Fraser. Moira Kelly, one of my favorites, was all right, though she had some funny lines, she wasn't nearly as good as her other roles. Josh Hamilton I have to say was rather funny, and Patrick Dempsy was good as usual. I did like this movie to a certain degree, but I do have to say it was pretty disappointing.

If you have a choice between watching this and any other Brendan Fraser movie, check out some other ones. This was not very good.

The Waterboy (1998)

Stupid!!

[22 August 1999]

This movie is truly Adam Sandler's worst movie ever!!

When I went to the theater to see this with a group of my friends, I just stared at the screen thinking to myself, "Does this movie have a purpose at all?" I finally got so bored I started throwing popcorn at some of my friends! They all loved it, but I just thought it was the stupidest thing ever. All I have to say is that THE FONZ, is a geek in it! This movie was truly terrible!!

Please, do yourself a favor and don't watch this movie!!!

Spice World (1997)

Boring but cute!

[22 August 1999]

Ok.

This movie was all right I guess. When I went to the theater to go see it, I felt like walking out a couple of times, but if you like their music and some pretty silly things then this is your movie.

The music was top rate, but the acting combined with the movie itself, was well, pretty bad.

If you ever saw the movie Harriet the Spy, well, this is pretty much the same kind of thing. It's like following somebody, or, somebody(s) in this case, around for a few days, and seeing what they do. It's just really lame. As a fan of the Spice Girls I was very disappointed with it.

But as I say again, the music was just terrific, so check it out, you might actually like it!

7th Heaven (1996–2007)

Wonderful and Perfect for the 90's!

[22 August 1999]

This show is just what the 90's needs!

Taking place in California, 7th Heaven is perfect for the 90's because it doesn't have a lot of material that kids should NOT watch. Stephen Collins and Catherine Hicks are perfect for the show also. Co-stars, Barry Watson, Jessica Biel, David Gallagher, Beverley Mitchell, and MecKenzie Rosman, are very good actors for their parts as well.

7th Heaven is an hour of relaxing comfort and the show makes you feel like you are part of the family. Almost as though everything that happens to them happens to you.

It's an excellent show, and I highly recommend it to you if you haven't seen it yet.

Enjoy it!!

I Love Trouble (1994)

Funny and cute!

[22 August 1999]

I really enjoyed this film!

I really had fun watching this movie. It was not only funny, but it also had a little bit of suspense in some parts. Julia Roberts is terrific as usual, and Nick Nolte is actually pretty good in this.

This is fun for the whole family!

Enjoy it!!

The Simpsons (1989– )

Hilarious!!!!

[22 August 1999]

Probably the funniest show on today!!

This show is so funny, it's side splitting entertainment! I love this show so much that I have to see the re-runs almost every day! Bart has to be the funniest and then comes Homer, they're the two most funny characters in the whole show! I can't wait to see the movie, that should be funny! After I see it, I'm sure you'll see my review up here on IMDb!! Enjoy the show!!

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

Hilarious!!

[21 August 1999]

Outstanding movie making!!

I absolutely loved it! Based on Shakespere's play, The Taming of the Shrew, 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, is the modern day teenage version of it. Taming of the Shrew is also an old Elizabeth Taylor movie which was done in the early to mid 60's which I found to be very well done.

My favorite in the whole thing was Joseph Gordon-Levitt(Cameron James)! He was so cute, sweet, and just all around perfect!

The two reasons why I wanted to see this movie was because of Larisa Oleynic (Bianca Stratford), and Andrew Keegan (Joey Donner). I was very disappointed with Larisa, but on the other hand, very impressed with Andrew's acting.

Joey Donner is the so called Pawn in the movie. A stupid self absorbed rich Loser, pays Verona to go out with Kat so that he can go out with her sister, Bianca.

Cameron James is the quiet guy who is madly in love with Bianca. He is the actual brains to the operation of having Joey pay. Along with his side kick Michael.

I fell in love with all the characters except for Bianca's. Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles) had to be the best of them all, even though they are all amazingly unique in many different ways. She is truely the funniest, most sarcastic and she simply is hilarious!

Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) could actually be cute if it weren't for his stupid hair cut (Which by the way Kat mentions in her 10 things I hate about you poem.)!

David Krumholtz (Michael Eckman) who I recognized from other movies such as, Life with Mikey, The Santa Clause, Addams Family Values, was rather silly in this movie. He was clever I must say in this movie, and he did have some very funny lines too!

The movie in itself, was extraodinarily good, and in my book it deserves a ten, hence the name 10 things I hate about you.

This movie has wit, charm, humor, romance, and at the end of the movie it has out-takes.

It is filmed in Seattle, and at the end of the movie during the credits, the band Letters to Cleo, play on the top of the school, singing I WANT YOU TO WANT ME, originally preformed by Cheap Trick.

Please watch this movie if you like teenage romance comedies!

Arlington Road (1999)

Very well done!

[21 August 1999]

I really liked this movie!

The beginning is really slow and boring but as it picks up it's really tense and nerve racking!

I would definitely put this under my thriller suspense list!

Jeff Bridges was excellent, but someone else I thought who could've done just as good a job in his role would have been Kurt Russell.

And Tim Robbins was the best one. He was incredibly talented in this movie.

Joan Cusack does a good job, but not nearly as good of a job as she usually does.

I liked this movie a lot! If you haven't seen it yet, you should.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

HORRIBLE!!

[21 August 1999]

Both boring and dull!

Did anyone actually like this movie? The writing was dull, the acting was horrible, and the movie itself was just bad. I guess the only thing good about it was Jar Jar Binks. George Lukas did mild directing in this. I mean, come on! The actors had no motivation in them. The only good acting in it was done by Anikin's mother. And did anyone catch the fact that he is Darth Vader? The movie was incredibly slow to begin with and the ending was long and unbelievably boring! If you haven't seen this movie yet, don't bother at all!!!!!!!

Scream (1996)

One of the best movies ever made!!!

[21 August 1999]

Excellent movie!

I absolutely loved this movie!! My favorite horror! I thought it was Drew Barrymore's best work ever! Neve Campbell's o.k. she doesn't compare at all to Jennifer Love Hewitt, but she's still good for her part. And of course my love Matthew Lillard does an outstanding job in it! I mean who else could of done a role like that? This movie combines chills and thrills with outstanding comedy!! My favorite parts are when they're at the party and Neve's boyfriend shows up, and when they're at the video store! Enjoy this movie it rocks big time! If you haven't seen it, and you like horrors, this is the one to watch!

Boy Meets World (1993–2000)

Great Show!

[21 August 1999]

I love this show so much!

It's definitely the best show on today. I love all of the characters! And of course Danielle Fishel (Tapanga) is my hero!

Eric (Will Friedle) used to be cute, but now he has one of the stupidest hair cuts, and has a weird personality, but deep down he is a really cool guy.

Cory (Ben Savage) is a really cool character sometimes. The only thing I really hate about him is when he acts so weird towards people.

Shawn (Rider Strong) is the best looking after Matthew Lawrence. He is sweet, funny and he has a good heart.

Jack (Matthew Lawrence) is of course the cutest! He is sensitive, sweet, charming, and of course funny!

Tapanga (Danniell Fishel) is sensible, smart, pretty, and really sweet!

Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) is a really smart and neat teacher. He's actually pretty perfect for the show.

Angela (Trina McGee-Davis) is a loyal, madly in love with Shawn, kinda gal. She's incredibly bright and beautiful.

Rachel (Maitland Ward) is sweet, tall, pretty, and very thin! The only thing I don't care for is the fact that she has such short hair!

Amy (Betsy Randle) is interesting. She used to be a lot better on the show, until just recently right before she had her baby.

Alan (William Russ) is sensitive, strong, nice, and seems to be very old. He looks like a 30-50 year old man!!

And finally I have a question. Why did they change the little girl? I mean frankly I liked the first little girl a lot better then the new Morgan Matthews!!!

Enjoy the show. I know you will!

Step by Step (1991–1998)

Best t.v. show of the 90's

[21 August 1999]

This is the best t.v. show of the 90's!

Unfortunately they cancelled this show about a year ago. This has always been my favorite, and it is very charming. On this show they don't talk about sex as much like they do on other shows. They talk about other things that I feel are much more important and worth talking about!

Stacie Keenan has to be the best part of the whole show. She's very funny and I like her a lot!

If you ever see any of the re-runs on do watch it it's a great show!

Lisa (1990)

Awfullllll!!

[21 August 1999]

I thought this movie was horrible!!

I had wanted to see this movie because of Staci Keanan. She was actually pretty good, but the movie in itself was just horrible. It might have been an A title movie, but it portayed itself as being a B title. If you ever see this movie some where don't waste your time with it. It's trying to be suspenseful and it is pretty thrilling at times but all and all it's a pretty bad movie!

Let's Make Love (1960)

Very good!

[21 August 1999]

I liked this movie, but it just didn't have the Marilyn flair that it usually does. It's cute and certainly an entertaining movie, but a lot of the time it's kind of boring.

I did enjoy the music in it. I have always felt that Marilyn had a wonderful voice!
