My Life So Far (1999)
Sex education is BORING!!!
This movie leaves me at a loss for words...its contents are fit for a 30-minute TV soap rather than for a full-length movie.
It describes the summer of a boy living in a strange family...it has all the ingredients for a good movie but fails to develop them. A brief affair between the brother's wife and the other brother ought to have developed into a good movie but instead the movie focuses on the child's obsession with knowing 'everything about naked women'. The end result is a pathetic attempt at a quaint movie which is a waste of time and money to watch anywhere but on TV.
Bicentennial Man (1999)
Why has it been put down?
I am a great fan of Isaac Asimov and have read practically every book he has ever written. This movie has been put down as being mediocre and even worse as being superficial. Maybe those who say this should get their facts straight. Firstly, the movie is NOT superficial. It treats the unique question "What is the difference between a human and a sufficiently advanced robot?" Secondly, anybody who reads Asimov would know that the whole point of his books is that of robot's feelings. One cannot help but think of Daneel.
This movie even has an extra bonus since it will appeal to non-die hard sci-fi fans. All in all it is a great movie, put down by critics who should really try and look at why they don't get it rather than why they think its bad.
