Men in Black II (2002)
Largely inferior to the original
Men In Black 2 is largely inferior to the original, relying on a quick pace to keep the audience from noticing the lack of character development and plot. There is a shocking dearth of action scenes, and the audience never once doubts the safety of Jay and Kay. But I can not say that this film is without merit. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are both solid in this film, and it keeps you laughing much of the time. The film contains a video store scene that is one of the funniest I've seen in quite a while. However, why anyone would find the talking dog more than mildly amusing is beyond me.
Hair (1979)
Highly underrated
(May contain spoilers) I find myself disappointed with the criticism this movie receives. While it is most certainly not perfect, it is much better than it is given credit for. The acting and photography are excellent. Some of the musical numbers are great; including the title number, "Where Do I Go?", "Easy to be Hard", and "Black Boys/White Boys". While I have not seen the stage musical, I think that it clouds the judgement of many. This is not the musical you see in theatres. Do not attempt to compare them. The theatrical musical might have been sensational to watch, but it would never have had the same effect on film, so a plot had to be added. And the ending that has been added is just amazing. The movie left me feeling like I had actually watched something important, unlike most of today's movies, which only satisfy on one level.
