Boiler Room (2000)
Best stocks movie since Glen Garry Glen Ross for younger generation.
This movie was really put together nicely. It peaked my interest in the stock exchange and gave me some insight on how some people think in that cut-throat type firm. I loved the cast of younger actors. The reunion of Vin Diesel and Giavani Ribisi from Saving Private Ryan was great. Ben Affleck also put together a great performance as a 27 year old "elder" in the firm. Overall, very entertaining and good story.
Pitch Black (2000)
Interesting and entertaining with a good cast of mostly unknowns and great special effects.
The opening scene of this movie is pretty incredible. I've seen a number of sci-fi movies with great special effects but my roommate and I looked at each other after the opening sequence and he said plainly, "sensory overload." The plot of the movie is pretty simple but the nice thing about this sci-fi movie is that it lets the audience figure out most of the technology for themselves instead of wasting time to "subtly" explain it. The creatures in this movie are also very interesting. You don't get a really good look at them until about two thirds of the way through. Overall, a very entertaining movie.
