Black Hawk Down (2001)
Good
This movie was decent, but not totally great. Josh Hartnett and Tom Sizemore are both wonderful actors, but don't quite capture the magic of Pearl Harbor. But then again, the two movies shouldn't be compared since they are totally different. I give Black Hawk Down 8/10 stars.
Scarlett (1994)
why is this a sequel
This movie is no more of a sequel than The Exorcist would be. After Mammie dies (about 10minutes into the movie) it becomes a completely seperate movie. If the title cut out the word 'Sequel' then it would not be a bad film. If the characters would have been introduced as new, unknown people, then it would be descent. But, they have taken these two Southern American people and stuck them in Ireland. It makes absolutely no sense what so ever. A sequel keeps the character relatively the same, this movie changes them completely. The families are no longer simple, downhome people, but they are rich, aristocratic, world leader type of people. If you see the movie without thinking of the original, then the movie would be soooo much better, but that is impossible. And what happened to Prissy, and Dr Mead and the rest of their friends, they have dissapeared off the face of the earth.
The Patriot (2000)
Great entertainment
There sure are some stupid people leaving comments here. This movie never claims to be historically accurate. Nobody said it was nonfiction. It is just a made up story told around some true battles. As a person with several degrees in history, I know there wasn't a British soldier who went around and burned churches full of people, and shot little boys for no reason, but nobody said this actually happened. Anyways, I can understand why some English people would not like some of the events in this movie, but I do not understand why people sit around and critique this movie from a historical standpoint. It was a good FICTION war movie, that left most people feeling patriotic (hence the title), and that's all there was to it. To all those people who think this is a biography: get a life.
Match Game (1998)
good, but definately not the original
This newer versio of Match Game was OK, but it definately lacked the sparks of the original Match Game. Mike Burger tried hard, but couldn't touch Gene Rayburn. I agree that the panel was weak most of the time. They should have changed the questions around too.
House on Haunted Hill (1999)
Good movie, great remake
Everyone who was involved in this movie did a great job. I am not a huge fan of Geoffrey Rush (especially after Quills-how annoying), but he did an outstanding job as the lead character. Famke Janssen is really hot, and a great actress. And, the rest of the cast did a good job too. The DVD is great, and William Malone does a really good commentary of the movie.
The Great Gatsby (2000)
The best adaptation yet.
Ok, some of these people giving comments about this movie obviously never paid attention to the 1974 version. For one thing, this adaptation is actually interesting. The 1974 version was totally boring, mostly because the actors/actresses showed no enthusiasm at all. And I believe this version is just as close if not closer to the book as the 1974 version. This new adaptation is much more enjoyable than the old.
Chocolat (2000)
Incredible
I went to this movie expecting to be bored out of my mind. Boy, was I surprised. This movie is amazing. The cast is incredible, the writing is genius, and Lasse Hallstrom is even better. He directed the perfect motion picture. I cannont say enough good things about this movie. Chocolat should win Best picture of the year.
Annie (1982)
The Best
What is the matter with you people? This movie was released way before the Disney version, and it is much more entertaining. The 1999 version totally sucked. The acting was terrible, and the singing was worse. The 1982 version was much much better. There is absolutely no comparison between the two.
Pete's Dragon (1977)
Very Good
I can't believe some of these earlier comments. This movie was incredible. Why is everyone criticizing Sean Marshall, he did an incredible job as Pete. Helen Reddy was very good, Red Buttons and Mickey Rooney gave the performance of a lifetime. This movie has great acting and singing. I recomend it to everyone.
Big Momma's House (2000)
Very funny movie
Some of these people who put comments out on this movie just don't have a sense of humor. This movie was very funny. Not the best, but definately not bad. Some people just need to actually get a good sense of humor, and watch this movie again. I will admit this is not as good as Nutty Professor, but it is still good.
Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)
The worst sequel ever
I agree with the earlier comment, that this movie does not deserve the exorcist name. The first movie, and the third were brilliant; however, this movie is just stupid. I do not recommend this movie to anyone who loved the first Exorcist.
The Golden Girls (1985)
best show ever made
the Golden Girls was the absolute best show that has ever been made. It had the perfect combination of actors/actresses including the all time best actress Bea Arthur. I really miss watching it.
