Molly (1999)
Molly, NO!
Rainman, At First Sight, Forest Gump, The Other Sister, Phenomenon - this movie just throws elements of all these movies together in a mish-mash - with the end result being a very lame, over acted movie.
Poor Elisabeth Shue seems to be suffering from some rare form of autism that only exists in sappy movies. Did the writers do any real research on autism at all. According the the IMDB plot summary this movie is "loosely based on a true story". I'd love to know how loose.
I too was subjected to this movie on an airplane. I thought I was watching a direct-to-video dog. Imagine my surprise when I saw it was actually going to hit theaters in October.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Burn the Witch!
I must first say that I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. I watched the Sci-fi channel special. I visited the web site. Now all I have to say is, `What's the big deal?'. There was almost nothing scary in this movie psychological or otherwise. 95% of the dialog in this film was either whining or bickering. The viewer doesn't `share' in their psychological terror, they just want them dead, so that the whining will stop.
I will say that I did enjoy the tense climax but having to put up with the rest of the film to get there just wasn't worth it.
An interesting note: I have never heard such a violent crowd reaction at the finish of a film. Booing, jeering and the shouting of some very colorful commentary followed the rolling of the credits. Add some pitchforks and torches, and we might have had a good old witch burning!
