Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)
Not as good as the first, but still some good laughs
Austin Powers 2 is one of the better comedys of the last years. But still, it can't compete with the first one, which was more of a satire and worth a second and third look etc. The second Austin is a movie which gets a bit worse every time you see it. When I saw the movie the first time in cinema I laughed my ass off in some scenes, which aren't that funny the second time. I can still recommend this movie to all Austin and comedy fans, it has some good music and funny moments in it, but do not expect a masterpiece. 7/10
Fight Club (1999)
You are not your job, you are not the contents of your wallet!
Once again, after 'American History X', Edward Norton did the movie that's my favorite of the year. But this time, with 'Fight Club', he made my all-time favorite. I've never seen a movie like this before. I think that it was even a bit better than 'American Beauty', and I can't believe that 'Fight Club' wasn't even nominated for Best Movie, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Screenplay. Even Brad Pitt was good enough to get an Oscar nomination. Did they just forget this movie? The plot is perfect, as is the direction, this movie has a statement that's close to 'American Beauty', but 'Fight Club' drives it to the extreme. Do what you like and even if haven't got much money, is a large TV really worth a job you don't like? This is one of the few movies that are really worth 10 out of 10
The Matrix (1999)
A good movie, but not worth such a high position in the TOP 250
'The Matrix' is of course a very good Science Fiction Movie and along with 'American Beauty', 'Fight Club' and 'The Sixth Sense' one of the best of '99, but I can't believe that this movie got into the top 50. I can't believe that a movie classic like 'Apocalypse Now' is behind The Matrix.
Many people say that this movie is realistic and everything in it could be true, but I think they all forgot the oracle, the fact that there's THE ONE and the shootout at the end. I mean in the shootout they don't do many special moves to hide from the bullets, but they just don't get shot. Whatever, the action sequence would have been much better if M. Manson's 'Rock Is Dead' played in the background. I hope the sequels or prequels don't go on like the first one ended, because I think that would suck. But if they hold on to a good story, like the first hour of this movie was, we can look forward to a great competition between the 2nd Star Wars and the 2nd Matrix.
I rated this movie 9 out of 10
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
One of the best comedys ever!
This is really one of the best comedys of all time. Mr. Jim Carrey did a perfect job as the Pet Detective Ace Ventura. I was laughing so hard from the first minute on, as he plays a delivery guy and I nearly couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole movie. Jim Carrey is just too funny. But also the storyline is not bad for a comedy, there are really some cool twists in the story. Don't get me wrong, it's not worth an Oscar for best screenplay, but it's pretty enjoyable. Besides The Truman Show, I think this is Jim Carreys best work (haven't seen Man On The Moon yet). I recommend this movie to everybody, who not just likes old classics and Oscar movies. 8/10
Dazed and Confused (1993)
"Say man, you got a Joint?"
"No, not on me, man." This movie is great. Many people tell, that they were disappointed because there was no plot in this movie. But how could you give this movie a plot. The persons who wrote bad comments on this movie haven't registered that the last day of highschool, the last day of beeing a kid couldn't and shouldn't be anything else than drinking, tokin' some reefer and just hanging out. The interesting things about this movie are the persons and their characters and how even the intelligent folks want to have party, because they recognised they maybe could have missed something in their youth: "Look, we need some alcohol."
On the other hand the 'cool' kids that have their partys, drugs and alcohol every day spend their time on thinking about their future, what they could have done better. In the end Pink said that sentence I will always remember: "If this is the best time of my life, remind me to kill myself." Watch this movie more than just one time. I gave it 10 out of 10
Dei Mudder sei Gesicht (1997)
God, this movie is bad
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I could hardly stay awake. The acting and the plot were horrible. I like B-movies, but this movie has nothing that could make me laugh or think about. OK, there were two or three funny moments at the beginning, so I have to give this movie 2 out of 10. If you really want to watch it, watch the first 10 minutes. After that you will get more and more disappointed while the movie runs.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Best Sequel Ever
This is by far the best action movie and the best sequel ever made. Great plot, great acting (especially from the young Edward Furlong), great action, great special effects... Is there anything else to say? For me, it's the only sequel that is worth 10 out of 10. (Haven't seen the Godfather sequel, yet)
The Last Boy Scout (1991)
Bruce Willis' Best
I think it was Bruce Willis' best movie (besides 'Pulp Fiction' which doesn't really count as a Bruce Willis movie). I liked 'The Last Boy Scout' movie more than any of the Die Hard Trilogy. The supporting actors are very good, too. I can hardly recommend this movie if you like Bruce Willis
Mortal Kombat (1995)
Better than Blade
I liked this movie very much, because of its coolness. Johnny Cage is one of the coolest characters ever created in an action movie. The movie doesn't get boring like Blade which just had a cool beginning and a great ending. The Mortal Kombat Soundtrack is amazing and the fight scenes are hip with cool special effects. If you've loved the game don't miss this one. 9/ 10 If you liked MK I'd also recommend
Blade 8/ 10 MK 2 7/ 10
Chôjin densetsu Urotsukidôji: Mirai hen (1992)
Bad, bad, bad
This movie was so bad, I can't explain it in words. The movie just shows a monster that rapes a woman and some nuclear bombs flying through the air. I hated the first Urotsukidoji, but this one really SUCKS!
Bride of Chucky (1998)
Best Chucky movie
First of all I have to say that I like the whole Child's Play series, but this one was more than just a good movie to watch on TV at night. It was so funny and exciting to watch. Great chills, great laughs, great music and even some good special effects for a Horror Movie.
9 /10
