Spy Game (2001)

Absolutely Fantastic

[10/10 · 25 November 2001]

This was a great movie. It was very refreshing to see an intelligent, well-made movie, especially considering some of the other films that are out. This is a very dense story, with many characters and plot-twists, so make sure you are ready to pay attention and GO SEE THIS IN A GOOD THEATER.

Dinner Rush (2000)

Very well done

[10/10 · 25 November 2001]

A great movie, told from the interesting perspective of a restaurant kitchen. The acting is superb, the writing is great, and the picture is tight.

Surprisingly good.

Chronos (1985)

the most beautiful use of time-lapse photography

[19 April 1999]

This film is one of the most exquisite films I have ever seen. It is comprised completely of time-lapse and aerial photography, and is a tremendous accomplishment. Highly recommended for anyone interested in time-lapse photography, cinematography, or film making in general.

Brimstone (1998–1999)

Typical 'edgy' gen-X show

[12 March 1999]

I was hoping to find some substance in this show, but instead, all I found was an empty story that skillfully dodges anything resembling a plot. The look was interesting at first, but after about 15 minutes, I became entirely bored with the sloppy cinematography, and excessive 'dirt' (visible paint strokes on just about everything). So, if you're looking for a story full of holes, poor acting, bad cinematography, and an overall lack of quality, I highly recommend this show. Otherwise, I wouldn't watch it again if you paid me.

Very Bad Things (1998)

Should have been called "Very Bad Movie"

[25 November 1998]

This has got to be the worst movie I have ever seen. Worse than Ed or Mac & Me. The whole premise lacks even the slightest hint of intellgence. It screams of "we're catering to the typical violent, drug-loving, decadent generation, and can't make a real movie". Pathetic at best.

T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous (1998)

amazing 3D

[8 October 1998]

This being really the first full narrative IMAX film, I applaud the film-makers. The 3D aspect is taken advantage of. But unless it's viewed in 3D (which only certain theaters provide) a majority of the enjoyment will be lost.

Apt Pupil (1998)

powerful and disturbing

[9 September 1998]

This movie is a very moving and thought provoking film. It asks and answers the question 'How did the Nazis become who they were', and it answers it well. Through vivid, disturbing imagery and a strong storyline, the audience is shown the horrors of the Nazi regime and how power corrupts.

The Killing (1956)

The Greatest Crime Movie

[11 August 1998]

This noir thriller is absolutely flawless. Every last detail is poured over , and the storyline flows smoothly. The movie excretes generous portions of suspense from every scene. If you have any fingernails before watching the movie, they'll be gone by the end.
