North (1994)
Interesting
Definitely not the best movie I've ever seen, don't get me wrong. I found it lacking in something that Rob Reiner's other films had. I don't really picture this as a "kid's movie" to begin with. I don't know where it got this label, but it doesn't fit it at all.
There are some parts I find rather awkward with the humor in them. There are other parts I just find stupid as all get out. I wasn't in awe of the film and viewed it as the next big step in comedies, but I was still entertained and wish it would be released on DVD. It fits into the same category as something like The Big Lebowski or Howard the Duck or Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Constellation (2005)
Okay
It did Huntsville, Alabama justice. While not the greatest movie ever made, Constellation does a decent job of showing the south without stereotyping it. Billy Dee Williams has trouble coming to terms with the fact his sister threw her life away for someone she thought loved her.
While tense at some points, dramatic at others, I liked this movie because of the location. The story took some time to get into. I've watched it twice now and have taken a liking to it.
The acting isn't that good, the dialogue isn't capturing, and the subplots needed a little more work. The movie is still pretty good. It certainly isn't a groundbreaking film piece sure to change the world, but it's a decent "B" movie.
