Superman: The Last Son of Krypton (1996)
A pretty good adaptation.
What I most enjoyed about "The Last Son of Krypton" was that it made a good effort to stay true to the comic book series. I liked how they worked in that Brainiac was actually responsible for Krypton's demise, though that was not the case in the comics. We also got to see a little bit of what exactly made Clark Kent become Superman.
8MM (1999)
An excellent view of the dark side of humanity.
Nicolas Cage, as I expected, gave a great performance and Joel Schumaker proved to me that he can indeed still make decent films. The film was indeed reminiscent of "Seven". It shows the sick and twisted side of humanity and just how far a man can fall from grace. The world is ruled by money and connections and those who have them are often above the law. It wasn't as predictable as "Seven", though it started out slower. However, when the film got good... man, did it get good.
