Kalifornia (1993) - B
The Hot Spot (1990)
Good thing I like Jennifer Connelly, Jack Nance, William Sadler, and Virginia Madsen's body; Don Johnson's wooden performance certainly isn't riveting.
C
Meet the Parents (2000) - B
Westworld (1973)
My opinion of the picture more-or-less lines up with Mondress'. There's nothing I can add to what he's already said.
B
The Man in the Iron Mask (1998)
Too many non-French accents and Leo's uneven performance aside, I thought this movie was alright. Not great, but certainly watchable. Besides, I like seeing heroes wear black and red. =P
B
The Ultimate Warrior (1975)
I think I'm starting to become a fan of Yul Brynner.
B
Coma (1978)
Judging by the plot description, I figured this movie was going to be something I'd enjoy watching. Nothing stellar, mind you, but still engrossing. As misfortune would have it, though, it bored me right out of my skull. I'm not going to say it was bad, but there wasn't a single thing about it that drew my interest or attention.
Frankly, I think the film could have been improved significantly had another actress, one with more screen presence, been cast to play the main character; the actress they hired was dull as dishwater, so there was no way in hell I was going to care about her character or what happened to her.
On a brighter note, I did get off on seeing Rip Torn, Ed Harris, and Tom Selleck in this picture, before they were anybody.
C
The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure (1994)
I liked this movie when I was a kid, so of course I expected to hate it viewing it as an adult. Turns out, though, that it wasn't bad; animation's decent and the songs -- though nothing memorable -- aren't terrible.
Of course, I still don't see what it was about this movie -- or this series in general -- that appealed to me as a kid. I guess anything with dinosaurs just rocked my world when I was younger.
C
The Fan (1996)
I love Robert De Niro. Almost any movie -- regardless of how innately mediocre it is at its core -- can be made a hundred times more entertaining by his mere presence. Having Nine Inch Nails' "Closer to God" played over-and-over again a ludicrous amount of times throughout the picture certainly didn't hurt its watchability, either.
B+
