Domestic Disturbance (2001)

Predictable

[20 May 2002]

Not a lot of surprises here. Typical `boy who cried wolf' type film. I just wanted to slap the mother in the back of the head. What an idiot. I would wait for this one to make it to cable. Don't waste your money on a rental.

Spider-Man (2002)

Another Let Down

[20 May 2002]

Bit of a disappointment. The two things that bothered me the most was how much of a wimp Spidey was and how much needless romance was involved. I did fallow the comic growing up, so I don't want to here about following that story line. He just constantly got his butt kicked by the goblin. Then there was that whole ten-minute love speech in the hospital room. I could have done without.

To my surprise, I did enjoy the Green Goblin very much. Aunt May and Uncle Ben were good also. And you must `hail to the king, baby', Bruce Campbell.

Halloween (1978)

The original

[8/10 · 15 May 2002]

This is one of the original slasher horror movies. A must see for any horror fan out there. Michael Myers was truly eerie. From his plain mask to his homicidal power walk, he was a nightmare.

John Carpenter is one of my favorite directors and this is a great one. I also heard the budget on the film was very low.

Not Another Teen Movie (2001)

Much better than I expected

[14 May 2002]

As a big fan of the teen movies, I was looking forward to this movie. A co-worker warned me about how awful it was. Rented it anyways and was pleasantly surprised. All the characters were noticeable as were almost all of the scenes. I recommend this for anyone who loves tasteless comedies as much as I do.

Black Knight (2001)

I have seen worse

[14 May 2002]

This movie was tolerable at best. Not bad considering the circumstances behind Martin Lawrence traveling back in time. That was a little unimaginative. This one makes A Knight's Tale seem like a medieval masterpiece.

Big Bully (1996)

Glimpse of what Tom Arnold is capable of

[14 May 2002]

Predictable but still fun to watch. Everyone will be able to relate to this move, either as Davie or Rosco. Tom Arnold was great. Not as great as his True Lies part, but funny still. Rick Moranis is his typical wimpish self. Great movie for remembering your old school days.

The Last Starfighter (1984)

Another favorite

[14 May 2002]

This was a great summer time rental from when I was a kid. Video games, aliens and space ships. It doesn't get much better than that. I have watched this one over and over. I don't understand why this one doesn't show up on the sci-fi channel or TBS/TNT yet.
