Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Make It Stop!
I have only ever fastforwarded through three movies in my lifetime. This is one of them. The plot is interesting enough, but the pacing is so slow. There are far too many dramatic pauses, and let's face it, no one in the world speaks as slow as Nicole Kidman does in this movie. Speaking of good ol Nicole, I am amazed that the Academy was able to forgive her enough after this film to give her an Oscar. She is absolutely terrible in this film except when she is not speaking. Which, since she makes so many pauses, is quite a bit of the time. Cruise is ok, nothing spectacular. Here's my suggestion to those of you who haven't seen it: 1. Don't spend your money on renting or buying it. 2. If you can get it for free, go for it. But 3. Fastforward to the part where Nicole and Tom are smoking pot. Stop and watch. Fast forward to the part where Tom meets his old med school buddy. Stop and watch. Fast forward to the part where he arrives at the orgy palace. Stop and watch. Fast forward to the point where Tom meets up with Ziegler. Stop and watch. Turn off the movie. Believe me, you won't be missing anything.
Jack-O (1995)
Looking for laughs??
A while back, my friend and I went to get a horror film of ghetto proportions, and found this gem in our local video store. We could not have been more delighted! This movie is the absolute best to make fun of, and just have a good clean laugh at! The acting is quite possibly worse than an elementary Christmas show (personal favorites: The pure "terror" when the little boy is being buried alive and the wife of the man in old times who goes off to kill Jack-O). The producers of this movie blew their budget on the opening lightening sequence, making the other effects laughably fake. If you're looking for a horror movie, keep moving on. But if you want to have some good fun laughing at and making fun of a movie so bad that the participants must hang their heads in shame to know it resides on their resumes? You have found it.
Stepmom (1998)
A one kleenex movie
Don't get me wrong. I just mean it wasn't a bawl your eyes out movie. I do think that it was very well done and the acting was spectacular. There wasn't a weak actor there. It's a good movie to just sit back and relax in.
