Collateral Damage (2002)
Two words: contrived and unrealistic
Now don't get me wrong, I like Arnold and action movies are my favorite genre, but this movie was just lame. His character goes from fireman to commando detective in a few weeks. A giant muscled white guy running around in Central America who keeps getting caught and then escaping over and over again, this just got boring after awhile. The plot twists were silly, and many times the special effects looked bad. Better luck next time.
Head Over Heels (2001)
Not hilarious, but keeps you smiling.
A goofy date comedy, just like it looked in the ads.
The lesbian character and the models added that little touch of kink that was needed to offset the goody, goody personalities of the main characters.
The models were a little overly stereotypical, and sometimes annoying.
Don't expect more that light hearted fun.
Titan A.E. (2000)
Like "Heavy Metal" but made for kids.
Take Heavy Metal, mix it with the Dragon's Lair video game, throw in some modern Silver Surfer cartoon style animation, and you have Titan A. E. But don't expect it to have a sound track like Heavy Metal.
The voice casting and performances were excellent. I didn't recognize any of the voices until the credits.
There were a few story line details that were a little thin. I found it strange that a human could find a simple way to manipulate the energy fields of the evil alien mother ship, (like Independence Day's Trojan virus,) particularly when the aliens are composed of energy themselves.
Also some explanation the titan ships phenomenal ability would have been helpful. At least in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan they made an attempt to explain the technology.
Some of the races look suspiciously like ones right out of the Alien Legion comic book. (One of my favorites back in the 80's.) This film has the closest feel to that series of any movie I have seen. Specifically the mixture of different alien races that composed the crews of the ship and colonies.
Even with the week points, this was a decent movie if you like animation or sci-fi. I gave it a 7.
Screwed (2000)
Save your money, rent Dirty Work
The funniest parts of this movie involve a turd in a box, and Danny DeVito with brush in his a**. The writing, acting, and directing are all awful. My friend commented, that the movie must be bad, because it looked like I was having more fun playing with my Milk Duds box than watching it. Save your money, and go rent Dirty Work. (Bear in mind that Norm MacDonald is one of my favorite comedic actors.)
