Almost Heroes (1998)
Hysterical
The first time I saw this movie I thought it was entertaining. The second time I saw this movie I rolled laughing. The third time I saw this movie I thought it was the most ingenious comedy I had ever seen. Now, every time I watch this movie it just gets funnier and funnier. Many people think that it is lame or cheesy. The point of the movie is to be cheesy. It's a satire of early American life. As far as the historical relevance and the mentality of people in America at that point in time, it's astonishingly accurate. Matthew Perry's character is supposed to represent bureaucratical society, while Chris Farley embodies the lower class American "pioneer." In truth, it is a fantastic representation poking fun at the "way things were." Cheesy as it may be, it was intended- and lives up to its intentions with comedic splendor. A+
The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
Amazing.
My expectations for this film were great. The film surpassed these expectations by a longshot.
The film as a whole kept the entire theatre on the edge of its seat from moment one. There were wide-eyes, screams, and everybody was holding their date so hard that body circulation was shutting down but no one seemed to care. Between five-star acting from Richard Gere, five-star sound engineering, and five-star cinematography, this film was an amazing piece for anyone to see. To be honest, I have never seen such an intense movie in my life.
I live approximately 3 hours from Point Pleasant, WV, so this movie hit home perhaps a little more than other people. The movie expressed all of the myths and sightings that have been on the records for years. THe adaptation was obviously Hollywood-ized, but real people had many of the experiences that were logged in the movie. The movie was so stunning to me that the day after I viewed it I actually took a road trip to Point Pleasant to see the sights of the town - which actually matched that of the movie strikingly close. From someone who is always a critic, I must give this movie the full Gold Star of Approval.
