X-Men (2000)
What is everyone talking about?
How is this a good movie? Maybe if you were into the comic books, a movie of it would seem like a cool thing, and then you just don't want to admit that the movie is pretty bad. It was not an engaging story at all after they left Poland in the beginning. You kept expecting something that would to grab your attention, but it never came. The ending was pretty lame, and it seemed like the last 3rd of the movie was just setting up for the sequel. I never really understood what the story was. I was expecting much better things. Too bad for Bryan Singer after doing two very good movies (or at least one very good, then one not-quite-as-good)
The Big Kahuna (1999)
good movie-bad song
This was a great film-the acting was great, and the story kept my interest through to the ending credits. This is a 9/10 because of the poor song choice to end the movie-it really ruined the momentum of the whole movie (for me, anyway). And the scoring up to that point was so well done. The movie makes we want to see "Glengarry Glenross" again.
Celebrity (1998)
Gets better with each viewing...
For me "Celebrity" has gotten better each time I have seen it. I wasn't completely sold on it in the theaters, but I have since warmed up to it. I don't understand the "it's not funny" comments this movie gets; I wouldn't consider it a comedy any more than I would consider "Stardust Memories" a comedy. A serious drama can contain humor, which Woody Allen is great at incorporating, but go see "There's Something About Mary" if you just want to laugh. This isn't that type of movie. I just want to through out there that Kenneth Brannagh did not annoy me for a second. If Woody Allen had starred in it, there would have been criticism about his use of young actresses and him; you can't win either way...Just watch it again, it may grow on you.
