Kickboxing Academy (1997)
This was the worst film ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rife with cliches and generally pathetic, this movie had no redeeming qualities except for its complete hokiness. Uninspired and infallably impossible, this movie was a waste of the oxygen the "actors" breathed while making it. On the other hand, it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
The X Files (1998)
great if you're a fan
I enjoyed the movie very much; I felt it was very well-done and pulled together many of the threads on the show...but I watch the show regularly. If you don't, you may be asking the person next to you 'who that guy is'. I know that a lot of people said that you could enjoy the movie without watching the show, but probably most of those people watch the show. It is a decent movie without the XFiles background, but if you know who Krycek and CancerMan are, you'll enjoy it much more.
The Rainmaker (1997)
a generally good movie
It's another John Grisham adaptation, and those movies do tend to follow a formula and not be incredibly deep...but at the same time, it's very well done and is definitely an enjoyable movie. Danny Devito has a great character role, and Matt Damon is both convincingly likeable and nice-looking, which doesn't hurt. This is a movie that just about anyone will enjoy.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997)
brilliant concept but falls short of its potential
This was one of those movies where I sat and thought about what could have been. There were lots of great things about it, but it could have been expanded into something more. It could also stand to be about an hour less running time.
Gattaca (1997)
wonderful concepts but badly developed
The ideas behind Gattaca were fascinating and reasonably novel, but I felt that once I stepped beyond the cool inventions, the movie didn't hold up very well. It is a movie which could have been brilliant, if it had been better developed. Still, a film likely worth seeing and thinking about.
