House on Haunted Hill (1999)
I have never been more scared
This is, by far, the best horror movie I have ever seen. I have never been more scared in a movie. I screamed more than once (don't laugh, so did my friend), and I jumped ever few minutes. House on Haunted Hill packs thrills and chills into each and every scene. I'm not a big fan of gore, but my friend Amanda, whom I brought to the movie with me, says that a horror movie is just not scary without blood. However, we both loved it. Amanda claims that it is better than every Child's Play movie combined, along with most of the other horror movies that she has seen. The two of us are not the type of people to get scared watching movies, but we shook the entire ride home (and several days afterward). Along with the horror, SNL player Chris Kattan adds just the right amount of comedy. I am a big fan of his, and I wondered a little at him being the "comic relief" (a la Jar Jar). But he plays the part incredibly well, and he does a wonderful job of giving the movie life. Taye Diggs, break out star of the year, also did amazing work on his character. In closing, this movie is great, and I highly recommend it. (A+ 10/10)
The Omega Code (1999)
Amazing beyond expectations
Amazing beyond expectations. The tag line for the movie, "...The end has begun," fits perfectly. An amazing story-line, a wonderful plot, and a superb cast. This movie took me on a constant road of twists and turns that kept me guessing till the end. The reference to the Scriptures in this movie was perfect, and the omega code could not have been thought out better.
Dick (1999)
You might even learn something...
I am 14 years old, so I don't know much about Watergate, though I have heard of it from time to time. This movie was great! It depicts the Watergate scandal in a humors and, for me, easy to follow way.
Dave Foley was wonderful as Bob Haldeman. After reading up on the man he played, and asking my mother endless questions; it occurred to me just how wonderful a job Dave Foley had done.
Another performer that stood out to me was Bruce McCulloch, a former Kid in the Hall just like Dave Foley. Bruce as Carl Burnstein was genius.
The entire cast kept me laughing through the whole movie. And, I even came out having learned something.
Dog Park (1998)
Not your typical "romantic comedy"
Bruce McCulloch, as writer and director, blew me away. I have always been a big fan of Bruce, but this really surprised me. Mark McKinney, having before worked with Bruce McCulloch, is fluid in the movie, though odd at times. I don't much care for the normal romantic comedies that you see, such as "You've Got Mail" to name one. Those all follow the exact same story line and get repetitive very quickly. However, this movie turns the term "romantic comedy" upside down. With it's heart-warming moments, and also its moments of humor (most easily understood by a Kids in the Hall fan), this movie really tops the charts.
It's Pat: The Movie (1994)
A lesson for actors (and actresses) everywhere
I usually enjoy SNL movies as doopy as they get. But this one, this one was insanely odd, to say the least. The only reason that I can come up with to see this movie is, you guessed it, Dave Foley. Dave Foley steals the entire movie (and I'm glad someone did), and he does it in a dress. You would think that the rest of the stars of the movie could compete with a man in a dress, but NO! Dave Foley, the amazing scene stealer in all of his movies, does it again in this one, playing a young girl named Chris. I believe that the only reason that this movie has not dropped completely off the face of the earth is Dave. Somehow he single-handedly supported the entire weight of this movie, in HEELS no less! Everyone in Hollywood, especially everyone in this movie, study every move that David Foley makes, and you can learn a valuable lesson.
The Kids in the Hall (1988)
The best comedy show America has ever seen
The Kids in the Hall, though originally from Canada, are widely appreciated in America. Kith is the best comedy show to ever hit American television, and also one of the most underrated. However, more people watch the show now than did before it was canceled. This is because, I think, that people watch the former Kids in their movies and realize what wonderful performers they are, and then begin watching the show, realizing to an even greater degree what wonderful performers they are. With the Kids, you can really get into their characters, and really understand their show. I have never seen a better sketch comedy show, though Saturday Night Live, also produced by Lorne Michaels, does come close. But even SNL can't scratch the ground that this show stands on. America and Canada both lost a wonderful thing when the last episode was shown. However, because of wonderful channels like Comedy Central, fans can still watch the show, and that is how new fans can learn about the wonders of the Kids in the Hall every day. Each of the Kids, Dave, Bruce, Kev, Mark, and Scott, have taken their new careers by the tail. But still, on their interviews and even in their movies, each of these singular men still show the wonderful magic that they used to be Kids in the Hall.
