Unbreakable (2000)
Bad, Worse, Worst, MegaWorst...
Definitely a 6th Sense look & feel - However, whatever made The Sixth Sense work was missing in this one, because this one came no where near close to working.
Bruce Willis retains his malcontent, brooding, "sometime on his mind & not going well" character - If doing nothing is acting, Bruce Willis has mastered his craft - Sam Jackson is very interesting playing the well off the beaten path of breakable 'Elijah' - However the character finally becomes so ridiculous that somewhere in the viewer's mind (mine) a foul has definitely been committed. Movie references to comic books & being comic should not go unheeded.
Save your money, save an hour or so - Unless you have some vested interest in seeing a really bad movie, Unbreakable (2000) misses the mark - Producing or directing a movie this bad & then releasing it on an innocent public should be a severely punishable, criminal offense...
Dream for an Insomniac (1996)
Good Clean Fun
This movie is worth watching at least several times.
The characters are all very likeable, intelligent, worth listening to, aside from being mentally, emotionally (maybe semi), & physically attractive. Being a human being ain't so bad.
The movie's writer does an excellent job writing an interesting movie with some great, quotable, laugh real loud oneliners. It is a variation of the standard boy meets girl love story depicted well enough to be entertaining throughout. The ending is slightly weak but passes quickly enough to do no damage.
At at its end, you (i.e. me) are left with a feel good feeling, a little buzz, & overall happier. It's a throwback to movies in the old days that were watchable & a viewing pleasure.
