We Were Soldiers (2002)
Did not like it...
The filming and acting were both good but the story and dialogue were both lacking... Yes I know that this is a true telling of events in the vietnam war, but it was boring! Not being a fan of war movies in general, I had high expectations for this film. Good cast, good trailers, and good subject matter, but all in all I was very disappointed. The message at the end was the best part, but I suggest you just watch the first 20 minutes and the last half...the middle is just typical war movie violence and shocking images. Oh well, I suggest you skip this one and rent Forest Gump if you want to see something about the vietnam war.
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
It's OK...but nothing to rush out and see.
I saw this movie for free at a screening where I go to college, and from the trailers I thought it looked pretty good. Having never read the book, I had no real opinions going in, but I have heard that the book is really good. The acting is pretty good, especially the always great Guy Pearce as the once friend turned nemesis of the main character. It really wasn't anything special, it got a little cheezy several times in the movie and there are LOTS of errors also, like things that weren't invented back then and stuff. See it if there is nothing else you want to see thats out, but I suggest you save your money and see the Royal Tenebaums, Amelie or Vanilla Sky and just rent the Count of Monte Cristo when it comes out.
Toughguy (1995)
One of the WORST movies I have ever seen!
I was looking through TV Guide last night and saw a movie starring Heather Grahm on, who I liked in movies like Boogie Nights, and Austin Powers, so I decided to watch it. It started out ok, but you could tell the story was lacking, and at about half way through, it started to deteriorate. I do not remember this movie being in the theaters, and I'm sure if it was, it wasn't there long. The acting was stale and unconvincing, the dialogue was silly and predictable, and the story was confusing and stupid. Definately one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I like movies like the ones this has been compared to like Fight Club, but this one doesn't come close!! Heather Grahm has done much better things since. I gave it a 2 out of 10 but thats because I clicked on the wrong number, I meant to give it a 1.
