The Deer Hunter (1978)
The best war movie ever made
The Deer Hunter is one of the best movies I have ever seen. This movie has some of the most powerful scenes ever filmed. It is also well acted. I won't spoil the rest for you, just go out and rent it. You'll be glad you did.
Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
Makes you think
This movie is an under appreciated masterpiece. You may not agree with its message, but it is a powerful story. I wish that people like Bush and those in Congress watch it before they decide to attack Iraq. And don't accuse me of being liberal, I am a South Park Republican.
Manhunter (1986)
What is so great about this
When I sat down to watch Manhunter about two years ago hoping for a good thriller. What a disapointment. I was scared once, and it was a false scare. The music was inappropriate for a thriller(and I am an 80's nut), the acting wasn't great, and the whole thing felt like Miami Vice. Do yourself a favor and watch Red Dragon. I may buy that movies DVD when it comes out.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
This is a smart movie?
After reading several comments by reviewers, it seems those who think TBWP is an intellegent movie. I disagree. First off John Hopkins school did a study where they took an English class and asked them to watch TBWP. The people who liked this movie did worse in the class then those who liked it.
And as we continue I might point out that this movie has the worst dialogue ever put together in movie history and the actors in this movie make the acting on the soap operas seem like Spencer Tracy. One of the worst movies ever. Even worse than its 99 partner in bad horror movies The Haunting.
Independence Day (1996)
One of the most underrated movies of the last 10 years
When I first saw ID4 in the theater, I thought it was an OK movie. However after recently catching it on television I must confess I thought it was an excellent movie. Despite what critics say the characters are well developed, and we the audience do care about their fate. This movie has it all: romance, action, humor, drama. While some may complain about parts of the dialogue being cliche, I believe that would take something away from this film. If only The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones could have taken a lesson from this movie.
***1/2 out of ****
Left Behind (2000)
Stupid
This reminds me of when I was a born-again believer who was going to be a minister. I never actually thought I would be a minister or even graduate from high school because I was almost positive I would be raptured to Heaven before that would ever happen. That was before I discovered that Christianity was a bunch rubbish. I am now an atheist, and that just proves that the "once saved always saved" doctorine that Christians tell us is no more real than elves. If it were true then why did I leave after many years of being a devout born again believer? Yes, I really was saved. I prayed that silly sinners prayer with all my heart.
If Christians were to read their Bible they would discover that their god thinks like rape, genocide, abortion, and many other atrocities are alright according to him. They might be surprised to learn that no where is the word "rapture" mentioned.
The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne (2000)
The best show on TV
I am very pleased to say that there is a reason to watch television again. Say hello to The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne. The show follows the adventures of Jules Verne, Phileas Fogg, Rebecca Fogg, and Phileas' servant Pasportux(I hope I spelled his name right) as they face danger at every corner. The show is safe for children, and will still amuse their parents. I recommend The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne to everyone.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988)
This sucks
I had high hopes for MST 3000, but what I quickly discovered was the program was worse then the movie they were watching. The jokes aren't anything special, and I believe that this is the ultimate waste of time. When I watch this I thought the movie that they were watching was Oscar worthy compared to this.
