100 Girls (2000)
witty, blunt and sharp dialogue, excellent performances
I just saw this on HBO. Unfortunately I missed the big plot scene---the one in the elevator. I still figured out who it was but I found myself wanting it to be all the three major female leads. They were all extremely likable characters and the actors were excellent. Writing for this is wonderful and the delivery of the lines matches their intrigue. I definately rooted for the "dork" who has a killer smile. Although I thought the ending was a bit neat and tidy I liked it a lot and highly recommend it. The only thing I didn't like was the tongue biting part. I truly could have done without that--eww. If you haven't seen this, go rent it. I am going to buy it though!
It's a Living (1980)
Also a 1985 tv show
I loved this show as a kid so was surprised to see that it was a 1980-1982 (since I wouldn't have been watching then) show not mentioning several members. So, if you have this problem, go to the 1985 version. It is so great watching reruns and seeing "Dharma and Greg"'s mother/mother-in-law playing Lois and "Blossom"'s Mrs. Lemure (Six's mother). as well as Ann Jillian and Marian Mercer--all great! Cheesy as most 80s shows but fun!
The Cell (2000)
Great Special Effects-Bad almost everything else
This movie had excellent special effects-they were unique yet realistic (mostly) and should definitely be in the running for the awards shows! If you liked pulp fiction or silence of the lambs you will love this movie, i however did not like either much and thought this one was entirely too gross for me. I could have thoroughly done without the ring hoists on his back and various other scary icky things. The hair people should definitely get high marks for this because Lopez's hair looked so fun and bouncy, although I don't know how she could stand it because I tried it today and it just got in my way (although if I were paid to be beautiful I suppose I could stand it) the butt/cleavage shots were a nice touch for the male population but could have saved those of us who don't care what Lopez looks like in her undies, a good 10 minutes of sitting in that movie. The plot was interesting and intriguing and the effects and styling were awesome but I did not like the grotesqueness of this movie or much else. It's definitely interesting but don't spend 7 bucks on this movie--don't even spend 5...if it's at the cheap movie place (under 3 bucks) Id definitely recommend it--otherwise just read about it and look at pictures and you'll get the good parts.
eXistenZ (1999)
predictable and gory
yea yea i get the moral but way too gory and blahblahblah terrible Jennifer Jason Leigh was great but incredibly needy and although fitting to her character it made me not like it at all yukyukuyuk I would not recommend it and think that it is not even nearly as good as the matrix like it claims to be
