Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)
A major disappointment
Many reviewers loved this film but, I thought it was terrible. The dialogue was very silly and seemed to go nowhere. It felt like improv gone bad. The editing was horrible with scenes that extended way to long to add to the story. During the rideaway scene, the camera was on Henry Silva puckered face about three time longer than it needed to be. How long did the director think he needed to keep the cameras rolling on scenes for the audience to get the point. Scenes of Ghost Dog walking or playing music in the CD were not just flashed but treated like whole chapters.
It should have been an intriguing story and Forest Whittaker did a great job with what little material he had. My thoughts are that it had so many technical problems that it killed what should have been a great movie.
Journey Into Amazing Caves (2001)
A deep dark and incredible experience
I was fortunate to be at the world premiere of this IMAX masterpiece. The film creates its own energy and excitement while introducing you to the two most lovable stars in the world. Nancy and Hazel really make the movie because they are as real as beautiful caves they explore. Extreme rappelling, caving, and kayaking scenes topped off with new music from the Moody Blues make it an adrenaline rush.
