Ghost (1990)
One ghost movie to rule them all!
This movie has everything a ghost movie should have. There were no cheap sound effects or graphic effects that "tries" to scare you when you are asleep during the movie (like cheap ghost movies nowadays).
This movie has a good story, good special effects, good actors, good and haunting music, what more could you ask? Forever classic. One ghost movie to rule them all!
I could easily say that this movie had built groundwork for movies like The Matrix and some. Patrick Swayze, Demi More and Whoopi Goldberg' DEFINING/BEST roles!
A MUST FOR ALL GHOST MOVIE FANS!!
Highly recommended!
Antitrust (2001)
Open-source propaganda (with total bias to open-source)
Apparently, this movie is written by some "wannabe" computer-crime writer and/or director. This movie got the most simple and predictable plot of thriller movies. Made for people with no computer knowledge (thus cannot judge what's right from wrong) and people who has extreme prejudice against corporate software giants (such as Microsoft).
When you rule out the amateur technical details contained in this movie, what you get is...it's not even worth explaining here. It is totally crap.
If you want some real technical thriller, watch something like Enemy of the State, Thirteenth Floor, Jake 2.0 or The Matrix. This movie is as bad as Sword Fish.
1/10 (avoid at all costs or watch it only so you can review it)
Cube (1997)
Instant Masterpiece
This is very underrated movie! It deserves more good reviews than it has currently.
The film is pretty intense and it holds your breath the whole time. You can't predict what is going to happen next. If you like The Matrix (1999) or Vertical Limit (year?), then you will definitely like this! But I should warn you that this is **strictly** SCI-FCI genre and if you are not willing to "think" during the movie, this is NOT for you, just stay away.
What more can I say? You have to see it for yourself to experience "The Cube"!
10/10
Christina's House (2000)
Bare with this movie, the real twist is in the end!
I don't write comments on most the movies since most of the comments from other users have justified the movie. But this one, most people just assumed that this is another "wannabe" horror flick (and at the time of this writing, users have given this movie average weight of around 3). In reality, it is far from it. I would say, it is above average.
The movie is a little slow. All I can say without spoiling is that, the real twist is in the end. Trust me.
There are no "big" actors in this movie and that doesn't make this movie a b-flick.
8/10
Traffic (2000)
Boring and Un-Intersting...It's Getting nowhere
I watched this film by looking at the high IMDb user rating and I just wasted more than 2 1/2 hours of my time. Many people on this board say everything comes together at the end of this movie but I'll say this movie is getting nowhere at the end.
Firstly, it's boring. Always talking. Talking is not a problem if they are talking about interesting stuffs but rather stuffs like "What did you eat yesterday?"...etc. That's why, when the movie ends, you'll end up ask yourself, what's the point of the movie?
Secondly, it's has a great cast, both US and Mexican speaking, but such as waste in this movie.
My generous rating: ***/**********
Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999)
A great, teacher vs. student conflict movie!
Very good movie showing the conflict between students who are just starting their lives and the teachers who are already up there, excercising all the power they've got.
This movie shows exactly how the teachers today are excersing their powers un-ethically on the students. A great movie for all the students!
My rating: 8/10
The Lost Empire (2001)
Total Rubbish
I've watched this mini-series hoping it will bring some excitements, art and culture of the traditional Chinese "Journey to the West" story. Of course the most important thing I'm looking at for in this movie is to have best visual effects. However, the effects are so bad and no realistic (Not even close).
Aside from bad acting and visuals, the problem with this story is that Qua Yinn being fall in love with the human! It's the most insulting story for the Buddhist people and religion! And Friar Sand wearing human skulls (Maybe when he was Cannibal but no anymore!)?? What about the Monkey King? He doesn't look like Monkey, instead look like human. Also Monkey King wasn't put under the mountain by the demons. Monkey King was so powerful, nobody (even the most powerful good or evil) can defeat or control it. Eventually Monkey King was punished by Buddha by putting it under the mountain. This movie is totally going on the wrong way.
This mini-series is nothing compared to the original Chinese version (25 episodes) of "Journey to the West" released in 1986. If you are looking for the "real" story (with better visual effects), then go for the chinese version! It has got English caption in the whole series.
This movie is just worthless. Acting, music, visual effects, story.....none of them are good.
I'll rate this movie 1.
