Rushmore
(1998)

Hilarious
This was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Bill Murray deserved an Oscar nomination for this movie. Just an incredibly original movie. I can't see how it didn't do better at the box office. Definitely a must see.

Field of Dreams
(1989)

Hokey, but good
While I enjoyed the movie a lot, it still angers me. Shoeless Joe is not a victim. He participated in the throwing of the World Series. There is evidence that shows he didn't give it his all. However that being said, the movie is good. The action makes me want to go right out and play, even in the wintertime.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
(1999)

Shocking
Shocking only because I thought the creators of South Park incapable of making a movie that provokes any type of thought. I loved this movie. It was hilarious and intelligent. They showed how many Americans claim to be protecting our children when they are only interested in pushing their beliefs upon us. An impressive effort by the creators of SOuth Park.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
(1999)

A few less special effects
I liked the movie, but I wish George Lucas would stop worshipping special effects so much. What made the first two installments great was that we knew the characters. The original starts off with a bang, but we then get to know the main characters for the rest of the movie. Lucas was able to blend the action with an actual story. Here, it appears that he bought into his own hype. Star Wars is no religion, no matter how much some people want to believe. He takes a little bit from each major religion and comes up with the force. The Senate scenes are wonderful and could be so interesting, but Lucas seems to be too anxious to get back to the war. It's a truly fun movie to see, but it could be more. A little more humanity and less computerization would enhance the future efforts.
