Movies

I'm an asst. mgr. at a movie theatre. It would be the best job in the world if I had more time to watch movies. I love movies that can make me cry, laugh, scream, or think. If it has the ability to do that, then it is an excellent movie.
My ratings are simple. 5-EXCELLENT, 4-VERY GOOD, 3-GOOD, 2-OKAY, 1-BAD. Just remember, most people have different tastes. These are just my and my friends opinions. You are welcome to disagree or agree as you like. Also, beware of spoilers. You have been warned. If you would like to send me your opinions then e-mail me at

I'll put it up.

A
American Beauty R Stars Kevin Spacey...and others, but mostly Kevin. Right, Meg? ;-) From MegSeattle: dude...American Beauty. 5

American Pie R Extremely funny, extremely raunchy. This was the first movie I saw at the Kent 6. Seems fitting now that I think about it. 3

Analyze This R I dunno. I liked DeNiro and Crystal in this movie. Of course, I like movies where people talk about why they act the way they do. ::Shrug:: 3 1/2

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery PG-13 This first Austin is hilariously and freshly funny. Dr. Evil rules! 4 1/2

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me PG-13 Mike Meyers is one funny man. His second Austin Powers movie was not as good as the first. Oh, it was funny, but over done. Seth Green was great, though! 4

Autumn in New York PG-13 It was soooo sad! It really was. Very touching, but I couldn't get over the fact that Richard Gere was with Winona Rider. The age difference was almost insurmountable! 3 1/2
B
The Blair Witch Project R Creepy in the extreme. Also made a lot of people sick to their stomach. ::Burp:: I felt woozy, but not too bad. It wasn't gross or anything, just jumpy camera work. I liked it though. Too much swearing, but I honestly thought it was pretty well made for a low-budget film. 3 1/2

Blade 2 R Okay, I am silly for not watching the first Blade, but I heard that one was bloodier than this one. I liked it for the amazing fight scenes and I just like vampire movies in general. 4

Blue Streak PG-13 This was a very funny movie. Martin Lawrence did very well in bringing his character to life. So well, in fact, that I didn't mind that he was a criminal and got away. 3

Bowfinger PG-13 Steve Martin fans would be disappointed. I was. It just wasn't as funny as I expected it to be. 2
C
The Cider House Rules PG-13 Although slow-paced, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It had character development and really made you feel for the characters. I liked that. Parents with kids, watch out for nudie scenes. 5
From MegSeattle: excellent film. great performances from Michael Caine and Tobey Maguire. Sensitive storytelling and beautifully shot. 5

Charlie's Angels PG-13 I loved this movie! Okay, it may have been way to exploitive of the female form, but they kicked butt, big time! Lucy Liu is awesome. The fight scenes were pretty good, I especially liked the martial arts choreography. 4

Chicken Run PG This was funny and touching and... the characters were purely clay! I liked this very much. Some of it might go over children's heads and some of the jokes would be understood only by Brit lovers, but that's why I like it so much! 4 1/2

A Clockwork Orange R A cult classic. It's visual aspects are the most interesting part of the movie. The plot is intriguing, but difficult to get because you get caught up in all the background parts. The insanely bizarre will like this movie. 3
D
Dogma R Very irreverent, but hilarious. It really makes you think about your beliefs in God. If you're easily offended, though, I don't recommend it. 4

Down To You PG-13 From MegSeattle: What's up with Miramax and their friend Freddie Prinze Jr.? The movie was okay. Kinda predictable. But cute, I guess. College love, blah, blah, blah. Wait for cable on this one. 2 1/2

Double Jeopardy R This was so good! Ashley Judd was a superb vengeful wife. The only thing to say is: "You go girl!" 4 1/2
E
F

Final Destination R Arrgh! I admit it. This movie creeped me out. But I wasn't the only one. The whole movie is a montage of death and more death. My gut reaction is to hate it, but this movie really made me think. 2 1/2

Finding Forrester PG-13 4

Frequency PG-13 This movie was amazing! I loved the fact that guys could show their sensitive sides and still be totally masculine about it. The premise of talking to someone in the past on a radio is a stretch but it worked. 5

The Full Monty R An independent film that was as funny as it was real. The Brits really have no inhibitions sometimes. 5
G
Gone in 60 Seconds PG-13 This was definitely about the cars. Unfortunately, I'm not that into cars. I know that all of them in this movie were really great cars and everything, but it just didn't grip me. I winched at the way they blew up though or got smashed, but who really cared? Not me. 2

The Green Mile R There are no words to convey the feelings that this movie drew out of me. I cried heavily, yet laughed and cried some more. It was heart-wrenching and beautifully acted. I sat through the three hours without realizing how long it was. A definite must see! 5
H
The Haunting PG-13 This movie was more funny than scary. I really enjoyed it, but I'll never quit hearing from my sister how I screamed in the middle of the movie and embarrassed her. Ha! The plot could have been better. 2 1/2

Hanging Up PG-13 I thought this was supposed to be a comedy, but it was curiously unfunny and slow. Meg Ryan was very good, though. 2

History of the World Part I R This isn't one of Mel Brooks bests, but it has its funny moments. 3

Hook PG This movie was spendidly done. I loved how Robin Williams played Peter Pan. 4
I
Independence Day PG-13 This movie was great. I think it's because I love the actors in it. Oh, and it was a sci-fi comedy. 4

Inspector Gadget PG They showed Dr. Claw's face. Big mistake, among others. 2
