First of all, the movie has the worst casting job I have ever seen. George Cloony doesn't even disguise his voice as Batman and uses the same phrases and words. Like instead of saying "Yes", he says, "Yes, it did" or "Yes, he did". Small I know but it gives him away. Poison Ivy is 6 feet tall and it shows regardless of Joel Schumacher's attempt to cover it up. Mr. Freeze is apparently a comic now and his "cold heart" he made his trademark seems to "warm up" in the end (an obvious incosistency). "Gothic" City is no longer gothic. Instead, it looks like the New Tomorrowland at Disneyland with all the neon. The holes for Batman, Robin, and Batgirl's eyes are so big, you can surely tell they used black makeup to cover it up. Robin can hold on to a rocket going 20,000 MPH with his bare hands then can actually breathe in space then can fall miles and land perfectly softly. Batman carries a CREDIT CARD now! Tim Burton added depth and art to each of the movies. In Batman Forever he added a lot of *new* things like the Batmobile's ability to turn a 180 when it's stopped, its abiltiy to slim itself down, and the 'smart' boomerang that hits only the bad guys. Joel Schumacher doesn't do anything new except add another Batperson to take away from the movie's horrible story again. Tim Burton had an eerie atmosphere that fit perfectly with the series. Joel Schumacher seems to be obsessed with colorful cheery scenes with no atmosphere, depth, or art whatsoever. Also, Danny Elfman did wonders with the music in the first and second one but now that he doesn't do new stuff, Joel Schumacher just uses the same old tired Batman Forever music. Batgirl has no place in the movie she just suddenly appears for absolutely no reason. To make matters even worse, she wears a tiny mask and has her long blond hair showing so it's way too obvious it's Alicia Silverstone. Bain was so pillowy I couldn't tell if they wanted the audience to think he was muscular or just fluffy. It would be a good movie to laugh at (not with it) but the jokes are so corny it makes you stop laughing at it all together! Boy do I miss Tim Burton and Batman I & II. Do NOT go see this movie.

Night Stand
(1995–1999)
The funniest talk show ever
12 January 1999
As a complete spoof of the Jerry Springer show, Nightstand was hands down the funniest show around. Repeat guests such as The Amazing Andy, Bob the Sexaholic, Dr. Lonnie Lanier, various audience members, 2Pac Zemekis, and others have VERY unique personalities and some use hilarious catch phrases they use when they greet Dick Dietrick. The show is filled with hidden jokes, inside jokes, and things you must think about before you find it funny. When Dick takes a look at the audience and says, "No no no, people", that is a good clue there was a joke just then. Creative real life names are used like Porkhead and Weiner on MVT (Music Video Television). Timothy Stack is funny just to watch and he plays a PERFECT talk show host. Sadly, the show had about 2 years on Fox I believe and now is using reruns on E! As Dick Dietrick would say, "For now, I'm Dick Dietrick".
The Stand
(1994)
One of the best movies ever made
12 November 1998
This movie is TOTALLY unlike today's modern films. It does not have the same atmosphere or feel when you watch it as normal movies which sets it above every other non-Stephen King movie out. The ending is extremely well-done and will make almost anyone cry. There are elements in the movie that are really funny and some that are really scary. The music is perfect for the movie and the acting is some of the BEST I have ever seen in a movie. I strongly encourage anyone to see this movie even if they don't like Stephen King. It is long but it NEVER gets boring by any means.
Paulie
(1998)
A movie for the kids and adults.
4 October 1998
My first impression before I saw the movie was it was a movie made for anyone 8 years old or younger. After seeing the movie, I realized ANYONE can enjoy this movie because it's a touching story about a lost pet looking for it owner. This is an EXCELLENT family film and even adults will appreciate the movie's humor. For anyone that owned a pet when they were young, this movie will be very touching. There are not many of these types of movies made so see it while you can!
The Rock
(1996)
The best music since Star Wars!
4 October 1998
This movie will NEVER wear off its appeal no matter how many times you see it. The music is VERY VERY dramatic which adds everything to this movie. It is extremely well-done and it is by far the best non-comedy movie of 1996!
Hilarious movie with a personality you either love or hate.
28 September 1998
This is another outstanding film by Mike Myers. In this one, he is completely confused by the 90's culture after being frozen in the 60's. The situation alone would've made this movie funny but Myers went the extra step and made it one of the funniest movies of all time. There are jokes every 5 minutes and moments that will leave you laughing for hours. Almost every joke and comment is original so the movie is entirely unpredictable and incredibly funny. Dr. Evil is played flawlessly as a villain from the 60's who is also very outdated on just about everything. This movie is a must see.
Just One of the Guys
(1985)
Very funny movie that is the classic concept of women trying to understand how men work.
27 September 1998
Very funny movie where an attractive woman poses as a man to write an essay. Her horny brother Buddy makes the movie funny by trying everything to get laid and says some very funny things relating to guys. Also, there's tons of 80's music in it.
