A Civil Action (1998)
Can't put my finger on it!
I can't quite put my finger on it. Strong performances from Travolta and Duvall(for that matter the entire cast was very solid), but it just seemed to lack something. Maybe it was the direction or the screenplay, or maybe I was expecting too much. Whatever it was, it just didn't seem to 'flow'.
I won't get into specifics for fear of giving away too much. Suffice it to say that there seemed to be a lot of holes in the plot. Things seemed to happen without any build-up or development. You're left thinking where did that come from? What is making these people tick? Maybe this one would work better as a book. Was there a book? Probably. Read it first!
Virus (1999)
Good spoof material!
Take some bad to mediocre acting, a weak script and a lack of plot and character development and what do you get? Virus! Good for a few laughs (though I'm sure not in the desired places!) the odd 'startling' moment (and I certainly will never complain about watching Jamie Lee Curtis on the big screen), but otherwise a rather predictable and disappointing way to pass a couple of hours.
I will be very surprised and a little disappointed, however, if someone doesn't spoof this one. There's sooooo much material to work with!
