Blackjack (1998)
The funny thing is...
... that even if I gave this movie a score of 1, I could as easily give it a 10. It's perfect entertainment with good friends and booze. It's so unbelievably bad in every way imagineable that it becomes almost too good to be true; you know those movies, right? They're so bad that they're actually good. This is one of those, crossing the line but staying perhaps a bit too close to it to really stick out.
Why? Because as a fan of HK action flicks, this carries all the telltale signs (not a big surprise considering the director and the low budget. In fact, if all the actors were Asian, this would be a perfect example of the typical HK gunsmoked action flick.
K-PAX (2001)
Simply beautiful
This movie got to me. It's enigmatic, funny, sad, intriguing, peaceful and looks fantastic and sounds even better. I reckon most wouldn't rate this as high as 10 outta 10, but this movie has soul and in my books it's the most important thing that a movie can have.
Jeff Bridges does his most memorable role and Kevin Spacey delivers, like he always does. I must've watched this movie dozens of times and find myself listening to Shearmur's amazing soundtrack from time to time. This is one instance I'm kinda afraid of to read the book when seeing the movie first - it might actually not stand up to how well this movie carries itself.
Entertainment that makes you think and feel.
