Side Out (1990)
Could have been excellent
This is one of those movies that I came across on HBO one night and although I did not "Hate" the movie I did think it had the possibility to be much better.
The movie is basically about a businessman (Monroe) who takes up volleyball and eventually wins the final tournament to become the world champion. I admit it is kind of a weak storyline but not all respectable movies have great storylines.
My basic problem with the movie was the shot selection. To me, being a respectable volleyball player both indoors and in the sand, much of the action scenes brought laughter to me. It is almost as if this movie pretty much ruled out Hollywoods desire to create a good volleyball movie.
Basically, the movie is not horrible by any means but could have been much better with better direction (no offense to Peter Israelson). I just hope Hollywood will overlook this production and give the sport another chance on the big screen with the growing popularity.
Overall: 4/10
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Gave me goosebumps at times!
Finally after a year of waiting Return of the King came out and blew me away. I was expecting, once again, brilliant fighting scenes to go along with the story. I received this along with emotional scenes which gave me the goosebumps and nearly brought tears to my eyes. This movie was a fantastic finale to the trilogy and should go down as the years best film.
Going Overboard (1989)
Feel bad for Adam and his Boys
This was a $5 flick picked up by my buddy and unfortunately I sat down and watched it. The movie must have been aimed at an audience of college kids who had been out partying before hand. All in all it was horrific to watch and I now feel like I wasted 2 hours of my life. Good Day
