Nell was a change of pace from the cookie cutter films which have come about
lately lately

I went to see "Forrest Gump" tonight at the Fox, and was really moved
because I saw a little of my own childhood in what Forrest experienced.
I was unpopular, to say the least, and that does get a little lonely--
but everyone who does go through that has to deal with it in his own way.
The film itself was beautifully made, and frankly speaking, if Tom Hanks
does not win the Oscar, then there is no justice. I predict that FG
will take Best Picture, Best Actor, and best Director, among others.
I want to say much more but I'm not really that eloquent to express it.
In short, You *MUST* see this film!!!

Pulp Fiction.
I was a bit let down... all they hype and all.
It had some good parts, though... lot's of quote's to use in everyday life.

I just saw "The Night We Never Met" and I thought it was pretty
good, kinda cute. A B I guess.

If you have a general tolerance for NON-gratuitous gore Interview
With the Vampire is a must see.
There is one gratuitous scene though, the trashing of a pristine
cherry-red 1965 Mustang convertable (sob!).

Saw _Dumb and Dumber_ today. Not sure why; given that I didn't want to see
some dorky "Holiday" flick like Santa Clause, didn't want to see either
of the two movies with McCauley "I'm still cute, really" Culkin, and
_Little Women_ hadn't opened yet, I guess it was the best option.
It was interesting to see Jeff Daniels do a transition from _Speed_ to
this, sort of like Keaneau Reeves from being Ted to _Speed_ but in
reverse. I laughed some. It was OK, but not as good as _Ace Venutra_
(haven't seen _The Mask_ yet.) I get this feeling Jim Carry is capable
of being something other than a really annoying but lucky idiot, but I
doubt it'll be possible for him to escape that role.

Did "True Lies" and "The Specialist" come out on video yet? (I haventhe rental
store for a while,and don't want to waste my time). Are they worth seeing or
just overhyped?

The Specialist is still in theaters. True Lies will be in early January;
too bad they didn't push it up a little and sell it for $19.95 in December,
it wouldve gone like hotcakes.

Neithor are n video yet, But they're both good movies. True lies is
kind of a B-Movie action type of thing though.

True Lies was spoiled by the sub-plot with Jamie Lee Curtis in the middle of
the movie. That sucked. I hate it when an action movie tries too hard to be
funny or sentimental -- I like people to be killed and maimed without any
petty interruptions.
The Specialist just sucked. It was slow and it was boring. Don't waste your
time or money.

I have it on good authority that Rennaisance Man starring Danny DeVito
will be out on video on Jan 4. Can't wait to see it.

Saw Stargate--fun, but not espically deep. It was cool watching
the effects, which again were the best part of the movie. The plot
wasn't great, but raised the interesting idea of ancient Earth
civilizations having pieces of advanced technology in them. It's
currently playing at the Fox Theatre, if you're in the Ann Arbor
area. Its worth the $1.50.

Excuse me...but I though that "The Santa Clause" was a wonderful family
movie...it sure beats all those animated movies that you end up taking your
kids to!

I loved the Santa Clause. Tim Allen is a talented actor/author.

"True Lies" was a B movie? You've got to be kidding!! Also, it was NOT
just an action movie, it was really kind of an action/comedy, so the subplot
with Jamie Lee Curtis in the middle that "sucked" was really important to
the story, I thought. Jim Cameron (the movie's director) said that he wanted it
it to be funny, as well as a good action flick, and he succeeded, in my
opinion, with Tom Arnold. He really surprised me.

I saw the movie "Quick Change" last night with Bill Murray and Geena Davis.
Of course, Bill Murray is funny in everything he does, but the part in the
beginning where he robs a bank in a clown suit was a real kick in the pants.
