10 Things I Hate About You - Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles
This was a pretty good movie. Some parts seemed to jump forward kind of suddenly. Just when you think something is gonna happen, it jumps to a new scene. This only happened a few times though, and the rest of the film was fine.
K-Dog's Rating: **1/2
American History X - Edward Norton, Edward Furlong
Excellent. Loved the whole movie. I believe Edward Norton is an up and coming star. He was great in this movie, just as he was in Primal Fear. And the story was great too. All I can say is that I highly recommend this movie.
K-Dog's Rating: ****
Armageddon - Bruce Willis, Steve Buscemi, Billy Bob Thornton
I thought this was gonna be good when they got into the action right away at the beginning. Then I watched the rest. This movie was slow. Especially the end, I was getting mad when Bruce Willis waited so long to blow up the stupid asteroid. If your only gonna see one of the asteroid movies, see Deep Impact. It was kind of slow at the beginning, but at least when it hit the action it stayed with it.
K-Dog's Rating: **
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - Mike Myers, Heather Graham
If you liked the original...you'll like this one. Very reminicient of the the first one. The movie was pretty funny throughout, and there were a few parts that were laugh out loud funny. Definitely worth seeing for a good laugh.
K-Dog's Rating: ***
Big Daddy - Adam Sandler, Joey Lauren Adams
Adam Sandler is still going strong. This still isn't as good as Happy or Billy, but it was better than The Waterboy. A must see for any Sandler fan.
K-Dog's Rating: ***1/2
Black Dog - Patrick Swayze, Randy Travis, Meat Loaf
This movie is okay if your in the mood for a good chase scene. That's what the whole movie was was a giant semi chase. Most of the movie was also a bit too predictable. There were a few good explosions here and there to keep me awake though.
K-Dog's Rating: **
Blade - Wesley Snipes
This was a decent movie. I thought the special effects were very well done. Not much else to say about it.
K-Dog's Rating: **1/2
Boogie Nights - Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds
If you can handle the fact that this movie is based on pornography, then this is a decent movie. Had a good story to it. I thought it was worth watching.
K-Dog's Rating: **1/2
Bug's Life, A - Dave Foley, Kevin Spacey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus
This movie wasn't quite as good as I hoped it would be, but I still found it very entertaining. There were a few memorable characters, in my opinion, that made it worthwhile. Also, if you see this movie, make sure you see the outtakes. They were some of the funniest parts.
K-Dog's Rating: ***
Bulletproof - Damon Wayans, Adam Sandler
This was a pretty good movie. I've seen Adam Sandler do better, such as in The Waterboy, but this one was still watchable. If you're a Sandler or Wayans fan then this movie is worth seeing.
K-Dog's Rating: **1/2
Can't Hardly Wait - Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ethan Randall
Very good movie. I liked all of the individual sub-plots going on through the whole movie. I also like how each scene sort of had it's own song in the background to represent a character or scene.
K-Dog's Rating: ***1/2
Civil Action, A - John Travolta, Robert Duvall
This movie wasn't quite as good as I was expecting. It got a little long in some places. But John and Robert did some great acting in this movie. I especially liked Robert Duvall's character.
K-Dog's Rating: **1/2
Deep Impact - Morgan Freeman, Tea Leoni
This was a very slow movie to start, much to my disliking. I was expecting a little more action. The only thing boosting it above 2 stars is the ending. I thought it really picked up in the last 45 minutes almost redeeming itself.
K-Dog's Rating: **1/2
Enemy of the State - Will Smith, John Voight, Gene Hackman
This was a good movie which was made even better by the cast of Will Smith, Gene Hackman, and John Voight. I would recommend this movie if you are a fan of any of these actors. Another thing that made this movie worth my money was the fact that they showed the trailer for Star Wars I.
K-Dog's Rating: ***
Go - Katie Holmes, Jay Mohr, Scott Wolf
This was a very good movie somewhat reminicient of Pulp Fiction in some ways. I recommend seeing it.
K-Dog's Rating: ***
Happy Gilmore - Adam Sandler
In my opinion, this would be Adam Sandler's greatest movie. I've seen it many, many times and I laugh out loud every time. This movie is a must see if you haven't seen it yet.
K-Dog's Rating: ****
I Know What You Did Last Summer - Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar
There was a decent storyline to this movie and it was fairly entertaining. It was actually almost suspenseful in parts. The only real complaint here is about the acting. There were some parts where it was just downright awful. Other than that I would recommend seeing it at least once.
K-Dog's Rating: ***
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer - Jennifer Love Hewitt, Brandy Norwood
I think this movie was already summed up in my preview of it's predecessor. I might go as far as saying the acting was a hair bit better though.
K-Dog's Rating: ***
Jacob's Ladder - Tim Robbins
This movie was interesting, but it could have done something to try and pick up the pace a little. The action went at a steady pace through the whole movie. The problem was that this pace wasn't fast enough. Also the story was somewhat unique, but it kept you confused through the whole movie. Sometimes this is good, in this case...it wasn't.
K-Dog's Rating: *1/2
John Carpenter's Vampires - James Woods, Daniel Baldwin
This was a good movie, but it could have been better. The special effects were gory, but they also could have been done a little better. This along with some of the cheesy lines brought my rating down about one star.
