Pitch Black (2000)
not great, but not bad
I just want to comment on the "pitch black" part of the movie - it wasn't dark enough. I was expecting no background lighting whatsoever - there definitely was a lot during Riddick's fight scenes, and especially once it started raining. I think if most of the action scenes during the eclipse had been left out, and instead the movie concentrated on being a true thriller with near absolute darkness (maybe even never showing us what the aliens look like - I thought they were pretty standard and not very detailed) this movie would have been fantastic.
Great idea for a movie, but falls flat. Worth a rent though.
Aspen Extreme (1993)
TERRIBLE!!
I rented this movie just after it had come out on video. I knew it wasn't going to be a HotDog-ish movie, but I was still expecting something fun. I'm not even going to comment on my beefs as a skier. But as a movie in general, it was the most depressing piece of c**p ever! It just kept getting worse and worse, and the ending didn't even come close balancing off all that had happened. When it was over, I felt like my dog had just died.
I think this movie just tried to be too many things that just didn't fit together - trying to make HotDog into a chickflick while still being cool is just plain impossible.
