Comic Relief: Doctor Who - The Curse of Fatal Death (1999)
For Whovians.
I have seen every episode of the Doctor Who series, and so I felt obligated to watch this as well. I loved it. Rowan Atkins as the 9th Doctor is totally believable. You wonder why he never was picked as the Doctor in the tv series. Johnathan Pryce made the most hilarious Master, giving credibility to such lines as "The deadly vengeance of deadly revenge!". Long time Doctor Who fans should love this. In fact, anyone who never saw an episode of Doctor Who will find it funny as well.
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
He was Headless!!!!
Ichabod Crane-so very much the anti-hero. He pulls his girlfriend in front of him for protection. He holds a child in front of him as a shield. He passes out four or five times in the film. This is the guy that is to solve the murders of Sleepy Hollow. I love it! I love it! I love it! Highly recommended.
Notting Hill (1999)
A funny romance
Hugh Grant plays another lovable underdog and Julia Roberts plays, well, herself. I saw this one when I was sick and I liked it enough to rent the next day and watch it two more times after that. Love the ending where she is at a press conference-and oh my, I'm going to give it away. Just see it.
Godzilla (1998)
I have to stick up for this movie
I liked it. I liked the effects. I liked the cast. I liked the story. I come from a long line of B-movie, badly dubbed Godzilla movie watching type family. To me, all that is Godzilla is good. I just wish my dad would have seen this movie. It would have made him proud. Matthew Broderick is cool. Hank Azaria is cool. Audrey has to go. Godzilla should have jsut stomped on her and killed her at the end.
Anaconda (1997)
Nothing like a giant snake to ruin your documentary.
I like my movie creatures huge, menacing, and able to kill lots of people. Therefore it should come as no surprise that I really love this movie where other people really do not. It may also help that I am a fan of Eric Stoltz-who's character is taken out entirely too early leaving behind the characters that you just dont' care about that much. The "bad guy" of the story though, is really really a jerk and I found myself wishing that the snake would just swallow him whole.
A lot of the graphics look fake and unrealistic, but the story isnt' bad and it is mildly entertaining. I would watch it again and maybe even a third. Don't go in with high expectations and you will enjoy the story more.
