Little Black Book (2004)
Probably the most horrid movie ever
I want you to understand that I watch a lot of movies, and I do toss the phrase "worst movie ever" around, but mostly in a joking way. But, in the case of 'Little Black Book' I am serious when I say that it is by far the worst movie I have ever had the horror of witnessing. Lets start with the screenplay itself. Its really an intriguing idea, an innocent young woman descends into a lying, malicious person out of self-doubt and the fear that her man is cheating. It's not your typical regurgitated summer romance. It tries to be a character study, a commentary about the self-doubt that plagues women in our society, and a warning to women in the same situation as Stacy (Murphy).
Unfortunately, the movie is none of the above listed things. Stacy narrates the movie and instead of accepting herself for what she is, she ends up pleading with the audience, trying to convince herself, and the audience that she is not a completely horrible person, which really undermines the whole story. Murphy is not fit for this part, she comes off as shallow and delivers most of the poorly written dialogue as a stupid school girl. Really, the only bright spot in this movie is when Stacy gets what is coming to her (I laughed actually) and Holly Hunter. Hunter plays Stacy's co-worker Barb, who is always the devil on her shoulder, egging her on to worse and worse deeds. She is simply perfect for the role and is thoroughly evil.
All in all, this was a complete waste of time and money, I would encourage all to not only avoid this movie but to run the other way.
Chasing Liberty (2004)
Your typical romantic comedy, but worth checking out.
Chasing Liberty is definitely your molded romantic comedy, but its colorful cast and nice settings bring it all together.
From the moment the movie started I knew what the story would be, but the creators throw in so many plot twists and turns that you can't help but enjoy the movie. It also helps that the cast is fun and unique.
I would recommend Chasing Liberty to anyone who enjoys a good romantic comedy.
The Wiz (1978)
Wonderful, except for Miss Ross
The Wiz offers wonderful and unique musical numbers, also, the costume designer should be bowed to. However, my large problem with this film was Diana Ross, she is horrible. Every time she does a solo musical number I just wanted to turn the film off, her voice is weak in this movie and rather shrill. What kept me watching was Michael Jackson, he truly lights up the screen as the scarecrow. He is a wonderful singer/dancer and has the required charisma. All in all, this movie is worth watching because of everyone but Diana Ross and the wonderful costumes and songs.
Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
A truly excellent accomplishment in moviemaking.
This is one of the most excellent movies I have seen in a very long time. When making a movie, it is easy to fall into the clay mold of romantic comedies or action movies, Kramer vs. Kramer falls into neither of these categories. Dustin Hoffman shines in his roll as a workaholic father who is suddenly forced to take care of his child when his trophy wife leaves him. Hoffman truly and completely deserves the Academy Award he achieved for this movie. In all, this is a stirring movie about the love a parent can have for a child.
The Italian Job (2003)
Rivals Ocean's Eleven in good heist movies.
I felt that The Italian Job was a stunning movie with a well thought out plot and fabulous action sequences. With an all-star cast of famous faces and some not so famous faces it was truly great. I enjoyed the planning of the heist and the emotion that each actor showed in their respective role.
