Garfield in Disguise (1985)
One of the best cartoons ever animated
Let me just start by saying that to this very day, I hold this cartoon to be one of the scariest I have ever seen. For months after first seeing it, I would wake up screaming, thinking of that old man. But in addition to being creepy, the show is also very artistically drawn. The storyboard is also solid. I can identify with the never-ending pursuit for candy. I wouldn't row to the other side of the lake for candy, but Garfield and Odie would. Maybe that is why I loved this special so much; It brings back find memories of trick-or-treating. The pursuit of candy far outweighed actually eating the stuff. For whatever the reason, this and the Garfield Christmas Special hold a special place in my heart. PS, I still break out in a cold sweat every time I think about that old man rowing away in the boat and the ghosts coming
Equilibrium (2002)
Completely unoriginal in every aspect
Once you take some time to really examine this movie, nothing is original about it. This "uncompromising" vision of the future borrows most of its plot ideas from one of the greatest books ever written: "1984". It also, however, "borrows" ideas from Movies Fahrenheit 451 and even The Matrix. After reading 1984 and seeing the two movies, "Equilibrium" was terrible for me. It was completely unoriginal, and did not even explain the main ideas of the other sources of media nicely. Because I love the book, I have to rate this a five, but it really deserves lower. Entertaining, but no new ideas. I encourage anyone who sees this movie and thinks it is awesome to read George Orwell's "1984," and you will know where I come from.
