Subject: [MV] I STILL know what you did last summer - 1998
Date: 03 Apr 2001 10:19:05 -0700 (PDT)
**Minor spoiler** (Jack Black !)
I rented this film even if I really HATED the original and
was pleasantly surprised ... Not that I actually can
recommend this sequel but 2.5/5 ain't bad considering I
gave 1.5/5 to the original.
Nothing really new and original here. Jennifer Love Hewitt
and her friend Brandi win a vacation to a remote island and
then a stalker slices-and-dices people one by one, seen
that often ! ... Jack Black making an appearance as a long
haired pot smoking dude, sligtly annoying, luckily he
didn't STICK AROUND too much !.
I thought it was scary in part, better than the first one
that was making me laugh ! The acting is so-so all the way
through, but I felt the characters this time around were a
lil' bit more intelligent (Which may not be too hard to
achieve but anyway !)
The whole time while watching ISKWYDLS I knew I was being
"played", Jennifer Love Hewitt walking around with those
tight outfits, white t-shirt, etc. But it was still better
than the first one that also featured many curveous ladies
and it's worth a look if you have seen all the other horror
films basically (almost !)
(I am in the mood to watch horror films these days, I was
even considering watching "The faculty" (1998 ?) from
Robert Rodriguez ... I need my "FIX" of horror films !)
ISKWYDLS has a Silly ending though ! Falls apart in the
last 15 minutes but by that time I had been reasonably
entertained anyway ! 2.5/5, not so AWFUL, especially since
it cost me 0.65$US to see it ! (1 canadian $ !)

Subject: [MV] Second skin - 2000
Date: 04 Apr 2001 08:32:07 -0700 (PDT)
This was a pretty good film, Pulp fiction wannabe (wallaby
!) ...
Thriller/film noir about a man who double crosses a
gangster type (Peter Fonda !) and then the naughty boy has
plastic surgery to change his appearance and tries to go
under cover with the money he stole (2 million $$$) ...
Question : Why would he open an old used book store then ??
If you try to disappear, wouldn't it be reasonable not to
open a BUSINESS ?? ;-)
Of course Fonda is rather annoyed and hires two contract
killers to go after him (including the lovely Natasha
Henstridge, spelling ??).
That's only the beginning, multiple twists and turns along
the way, double crossings, Mexican stand offs, "Pulp
fiction" is obviously an influence so if you liked that one
it is "possible" you might enjoy "Second skin" as well.
Nice soundtrack too, Pulp fiction-ish !
Bad lighting though, camera work, obviously low budget
material. Once, a guy ranting and raving, and we can't
even see his face ... cos' it's too dark ! I also disliked
the fact that two very similar looking actors are involved
and at one point I was a bit confused wondering who the
hell was that guy ... until I realized it wasn't the same
one, hehe !
I was also reminded of "Bound" (1996) while watching it but
both "Pulp fiction" and "Bound" are 5/5 films, so this one
is not in the same category but still worth a look.
3/5
Marc ;-)

Subject: [MV] Never been kissed - 1999
Date: 04 Apr 2001 20:21:06 -0700 (PDT)
I really HATED this teen comedy. 1/5 !! It would make it
on my list of most awful films in any year basically.
Drew Barrymore plays a so-called journalist who goes
undercover in a high school to write articles about the
student life. We hardly get to see any of her articles and
I was wondering why the paper would send her there in the
first place ... weeks and months of undercover "work", all
sorts of people involved simply to write only one REAL
article ?? Get real !! This is ludicrous !!
Plus she dresses like a FREAK on her first day and acts
totally inadequate as well, she would be spotted in 2
seconds if this wasn't HOLLYWOOD !! White jeans and a long
white BOA around her neck ?? Please ... only CHER would
dress like that !
The film contains basically every clichΘs in the book and
the teens in that high school are all annoying lil' brats.
Intelligent people are few and far between and they are
seen as "boring" and/or "uncool", big surprise ... it's
cool when you know NOTHING apparently, "image" is
everything there and if you don't know who is Gordie Howe
you are a typical student apparently ... dumb jocks, pretty
girls mistreating her, bla-bla.
David Arquette is so annoying as Drew's brother, he's
supposed to be the lousy brother who comes back to high
school to make people think Drew is REALLY cool ... it's
not even mentioned that he looks like he's 32 years old !
I didn't buy Drew as a nerdy girl either, she was doing her
best though, nice effort in the so-called romance dept.
too, but I just didn't care for her and her character, not
her fault as even if it had starred an actress I liked more
it wouldn't have made any difference. I was cringing often
watching this seriously flawed movie ...
Ebert gave 3/4 to that one ?? Gimme a break, Roger !! He
seems to have a thing for High school comedies, didn't he
also like the recent "Sugar and spice" ?? Also a 3/4 for
"Final destination" ... Roger is losing it ??!! ...
1/5 seems more appropriate !!
I was reminded of the awful "Home fries" also with Drew,
but I think "Never been kissed" is even worse if that is
even possible !!
Next up tomorrow : The faculty - 1998.
Marc ;-)

Subject: [MV] Along came a spider ??
Date: 05 Apr 2001 14:47:44 -0700 (PDT)
Apparently "Along came a spider" the new film starring
Morgan Freeman is DOOMED !!
It's a prequel to "Kiss the girls" if I am not mistaken ...
Here are some comments made by the people involved, imagine
people talking like that at a press junket ... You have to
appreciate their honesty !!
Morgan Freeman : "I did it for the money ..."
James Patterson (The story is based on his book !) : "They
really messed up the adaptation ..."
Lee Tamahori (Director) : "I was considering pulling out of
the project since the producers were on my case all the
time and I couldn't work in peace ..."

Ok, this movie wasn't so bad, but it wasn't so good either,
2.5/5 ... It was on a downhill in the 2nd half though and
near the end I was hesitating between 2 and 2.5/5 but
decided I should be generous, especially since the teens in
that film were actually smarter than in most movies (Like
"Never been kissed" I just saw recently for example !)
The guys and girls in this movie were geniuses in
comparison !
The movie is set in a high school and students are
worried that their teachers are now ALIENS, having been
contaminated by an organism from outer space that makes
its way to the brains of the victims through their ears,
gross ! They try to deal with this "situation" in the
usual way ... hehe ! Yeah, right ! ;-)
Elijah Wood plays the geeky kid and you know that he'll
turn out to be the hero if you have seen a few of those
teen horror films ! Robert Patrick is also good as the
nasty football coach who is the first alien "victim" !
One of the first things I noticed was how LOUD the movie
was, music blasting in the speakers often, kind of annoying
! At one point they even use "Another brick in the wall"
from Pink Floyd, shame on them ! ... People popping up
behind one of the characters and a LOUD noise is heard to
scare you, etc. It wasn't really frightening anyway
because it was so over-the-top I was laughing in part ...
;-)
Some scenes are pulled right out of other movies, "Aliens",
"The thing", "The hidden" ... only not as effective of
course ... I was kind of shocked at the drug use in this
movie as well. They make it seem cool to take drugs
actually, bizarre ... Supposidely the aliens who take this
particular drug die instantly, some kind of powder that is
sniffed ... so at one point all the members of the group
have to take that drug to prove they are not aliens ... a
bit ridiculous !
The special effects were good though, I liked it when that
alien jumped in the swimming pool, nice work ... but why
was it so DARK all the time near the end ? Bad lighting,
so I couldn't distinguish very well all the details,
reminded me of those strip clubs where the lights are so
dimmed you can't really *see* anything, you can only
*sense* it ... oops .. I mean .. from what I have HEARD !
;-)
Leonard Maltin says : 2.5/4
James Berardinelli says : 1.5/4
I say : 2.5/5, I wouldn't watch it again but it wasn't so
terrible either !
Marc ;-)

Hi !
I saw that film last night, not a whole lot to say about it
either, 2.5/5 ... It's virtually a remake of the original
film and the 1976 film is superior in nearly every aspect
actually.
Unpopular girl with telekynesic (spelling !?) powers is
"tricked" into attending a party by the "pretty people" ...
and then is the victim of a cruel prank, then all hell
breaks lose ... fire, explosions, harpoons, etc.
A bizarre "contest" in the middle of this, football players
getting points when they sleep with underaged girls ?? Oh
please ! Of course they act like jerks ! Those jocks were
getting on my nerves !
I liked the love story with that boy though, just like in
the original "Carrie", how that boy was nice to Sissy
Spacek !
The girl (Emilie Bergl, not sure !) in the lead was ok
though, the other characters kept saying she was ugly, but
I thought she was actually pretty cute myself ! ;-) Her
mom is in an insane asylum and the high school guidance
person (played by Amy Irving !) is doing her best to help
her out ... all of this is very predictable anyway ...
So so special effects, low budget material, loud noise used
to scare us ... t'wasn't really working !
Roger Ebert : 2/4
James Berardinelli : 2/4
Marc ;-)

We just watched the movie "About Sarah" on Lifetime. It was a wonderful
little movie and everyone in it was great but Mary Steenburgen was an
absolute delight. One of the most charming performances I have ever seen by
an actress. She was nominated for a few awards for this role.
A must see if you can.

Subject: [MV] Armageddon - (Slicin' and Dicin')
Date: 22 Apr 2001 12:11:34 -0700 (PDT)
**minor spoilers**
Alright, I saw this film last night and thought it was
simply terrible ... 1 out of 5 seems appropriate.
It is hard to find anything positive to say about this film
actually except maybe the special effects and the Aerosmith
music sometimes that were ok ... besides that it was indeed
a disaster.
Awful dialogues, silly characters, sappy la-la story in
part, all the way to the pathetic ending ... ludicrous
story with 101 plot holes and things that don't make sense,
they should have been killed 67 times at least IMO so as
you can imagine I was rolling my eyes back big time, in
fact if I had not been sitting I might have fallen ... hehe
! You stop caring for the characters because it's so "out
there" all the time ... not to mention extremely L_O_U_D !!
Simple story, a huge asteroid will collide with Earth and
destroy everything in 3 weeks or so ... can the americans
save the world ?? hehe !! Everyone on the entire planet
is helpless of course and the best guys to do the job are a
bunch of Yahoos from Hickville, USA ... The relief !! They
need to drill a hole in the bugger, drop the nuke inside
and blow it to kingdom come .. or whatever ...
After the first 30 painful minutes I actually said that I
wish I could use a CATTLE PROD on most of these characters
to SHOCK them back into reality ... getting drunk,
misbehavin' ... ewwwwwwwwwwk !! Who wrote those dialogues
anyway ?? A 10 year old ??
This is totally unfunny for the most part, which is a shame
actually ... why go for the funny bits like that, the film
is supposed to be SERIOUS, hellllllllllo !! Guys, the Earth
is about to be pulverized, I mean come on !!
I think it could actually be good if you chopped off about
65% of the script, mostly the unamusing scenes, and
replaced all that with a good, solid, serious script ...
Food for thoughts ... ;-)
All the actors are at their worst basically ... Michael
Clarke Duncan, Steve Buscemi (somebody unplug that guy !),
the guy who stabbed him last week was probably retaliating
for this mess (Dark humor !) Bruce Willis trying to look
like he cares, Ben Affleck bouncing off the walls, Liv
Tyler showing off her impressive female charms but
certainly not her acting skills, Billy Bob Thornton what
were you thinking ??
Peter Stormare as the crazy russian lunatic ... Shame on
you !! I admit I was cracking up seeing him wearing that
"fargo" hat though in the space station ... I'd like to
have a hat just like that actually ... ;-) I was laughing
cos' the guy had survived for 18 months in this space
station and 10 minutes after the americans arrived it was
completely destroyed ... oops !!
A lil' bit of R.P.P. with those crackers and that car in
the so-called Affleck-Tyler love scene of course but it
wasn't a major concern ...
1 out of 5, at least it didn't cost me a cent to see it and
I even munched on some pop corn ... yum !! ;-) that was
the best part of course ...
Marc ;-)

Date: 27 Apr 2001 14:34:06 -0700 (PDT)
Hello !
I watched Nurse Betty last night and thought it was a very
good film. 3.5/5
Story of a soap opera addict (Renee Zelweeger, spelling !)
who is traumatized after seeing her husband killed and
develops this fixation on a "Doctor" in her favorite soap.
She decides to take off and go meet him thinking it's all
REAL ... The killers are in hot pursuit because she left
with a car that contained something they needed to recover.
I thought this was a fairly amusing film for the most part
... Good acting by everyone involved too : Renee Zelweeger,
Morgan Freeman, Greg Kinnear, Aaron Eckardt as the creepy
husband ... I even liked Chris Rock in this part and he
usually is a REPELLENT. Funny one liners ...
The film only loses it a bit in the last 15 minutes or so
... I was hesitating often between 3.5 and 4/5 but with
that ending that is a bit too much on the slapstick side I
have to remain at 3.5
I thought they were pushing it a bit there with Freeman and
his infatuation for the lovely lass. (Why was that twist
necessary ?? Sometimes less is more IMO !)
Marc ;-)

****** Mmmmmmmmm ... I think this movie is very good
myself, I was hesitating often between 3.5 and 4/5 ...
The ending is especially powerful, the last 15 minutes ...
It's a favorite of a friend of mine because she has a lil'
bit of indian blood in her veins and could identify with
some of the things that were happening on the screen ...
intense.
Good acting for the most part, plus you have to feel for
those characters and what they are going through.
You are quite harsh in your comments below, Ms. Barbara, I
recall Siskel and Ebert raving about it on their TV show
too ...
A strange mix of amusing moments and others that are quite
dramatic ... Quite effective overall but this film is
really hard to find anywhere, I couldn't find it for 2-3
years at least and then this girl has a copy of it on her
shelf and says she loves it ... She was surprised I had
heard of it before actually !

- The party - 1968 (?) with Peter Sellers ...
That film was very watchable but the terrible ending (last
20 minutes or so) make me give it a 2/5 ... it just runs
out of steam IMHO. For the most part I was thinking it had
a shot at a 3/5.
Sellers is funny and memorable as an awful indian actor who
is invited to a party at a big kahuna's house from the
studio ...
Of course nothing goes well and he keeps getting into
trouble ... Directed by Blake Edwards.
Too bad it really takes a nose dive in the last reel
because some parts are quite funny : The "toilet" scene
... Sellers sitting on that miniature chair at the table,
waiter getting drunk ... etc.
Some people say it's one of the best comedies ever but I
guess I am not such a fan of this type of slapstick
material.

I know what you mean.
I recently watched Some Like It Hot. Not a bad movie at all, I found it
quite enjoyable. But hardly the funniest movie of all time, as per the
recent Top-100 list.
Give me Animal House or What's Up Doc? any day.

The other night I watched "Out of Africa" (1985) and I
think it's a classic case of a movie that may be of high
quality in terms of acting, dialogues, sets, costumes,
music, visuals ... etc. but that is rather boring anyway
... just because the story is highly uninteresting.
After all the story is the most important part of a movie
so even if all the other aspects are appropriate if the
story doesn't appeal to me it won't make a big difference
...
My rating : 1.5/5, cos' I was just too bored most of the
times despite the movie's obvious qualities as I mentioned
above. If the other aspects of the movie had not been so
impressive I might have given a lower rating of course.
Quite a performance by Meryl Streep though ... Robert
Redford usually annoys me, in this one he was more
endurable.

It was edged out by another soundtrack hit, "Teenage
