Marry Me or Die (1998)
Funny, but not very exciting
When seeing a romatic comedy I tend to be quite prejudiced, and it does take a lot to please me in this field. Marry me or die failed to do so. The movie was written to the generic plot for a romantic comedy, very much like the plot "You've got mail" was written to, or better "When Harry met Sally". It however lacks the excitement of the interesting story those two movies do offer. This makes the movie not very interesting to watch, and I found it hard to stay focussed. Does this mean you should not see the movie? Not really. By times it is actually quite funny, and it is impossible to see this movie without having a couple of good laughs, and isn't that what seeing a comedy movie is all about?
And finally, if you're thinking about getting married you certainly should see the movie. It can act as a bucket of cold water for all you dreamers, offering a realistic view on the subject of marriage.
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Masterpiece of modern cinema
This movie is a classic. A classic example of a highly overrated movie. The movie lacks a plot, lacks any interesting conversation. It lacks entertainment value. This movie takes up one-hundred-and-fifty-nine minutes of your valuable time, mostly because Nocole Kidman does not manage to utter more than five words per minute. The movie has less content than a thirty minute episode of friends, and thrity minutes would have been more then enough for the movie. If you want to see a movie with no obvious plot, go rent Clerks or Slacker instead, both have higly enjoyable conversation and are qualitatively much better than this masterpiece of modern cinema.
