I saw that stupid psycho ghost drama with Bruce Willis. I thought it a minor Twilight Zone episode distended to two hours.

I finished seeing The Matrix. It was very hip, a nice mash of The Terminator, The Story of Jesus, Jackie Chan, DePalma slow-motion violence, Gap "stop action" commercials and leather. I had a very strong positive reaction to the female lead, Carrie Ann-Moss, and the other female ("Switch"), Belinda McClory. It was good, existential silliness and it has something for everyone.
And Keanu Reeves says "Whoa!"

It is quite possibly the strangest "straight" film I've ever seen. I LOVED it!

Oh. I saw "Being John Malkovich". Still digesting it, but I think I hated the last half hour.

Don't bother with "Dogma." Neither funny nor clever nor profound.

2408. glendajean - 11/28/99 8:18:26 PMI saw Dogma last week and didn't enjoy it much. It tries way too hard, and it's not all that funny either. Carlin seemed wasted on a role that he shouldn't have ever played. These folks drank too much coffee and stayed up too late one night, thinking this would be a great idea for a movie.

Also saw Sleepy Hollow. Very Burtonesque in its smokey, eerie setting. Very campy performance by Johnny Depp. Christine Ricci doesn't have to try very hard to play a witch. Miranda Richardson, another powerful actor, sort of walked through her lines.

"Ten Things I Hate About You" is an underachiever, a film with promise that more or less fails to deliver in any way, except you get the required happy ending. And it's "cute" along the way, without being offensively maudlin, but also without being memorable.
