Charmed (1998–2006)

Tried to be Buffy...And failed

[1/10 · 24 March 2005]

This TV show relies on its sex appeal rather than any storyline whatsoever.

I realize that the majority of people reading this will be die-hard Charmed fans.

Wake up!

An example of the horrendous lack of originality comes when Charmed tried to rip-off Buffy's 'Normal Again'. In this episode Buffy flashes between being in a mental institution and the show that intelligent people know and love. The next week Charmed tried to do the same thing without the intelligence to leave it open ended.

Charmed: the show for the brain dead who like to look at scantily clad women.

Swimming Upstream (2002)

Possibly THE worst movie of 2002

[1/10 · 9 April 2004]

CRAP! I accidentally watched this film-thinking that it was the Swimming Upstream that was released in 2003. I seriously regret wasting an hour of my life sitting through it. Shame on whoever gave this junk an award. I thoroughly loathed this film-in fact I didn't see it through to the end. After an hour I could no longer stand it. I am disgusted that people are amused by such a lousy script-which tries and fails to rip off a dozen other human interest stories and such BA-AD acting. PAINFUL. I rate it 1 star out of 10. An amateur could make a much, much greater movie.

The Outsiders (1983)

Painful

[1/10 · 27 August 2003]

Fabulous cast, wasted. This film is a terrible adaptation of the novel. I have noticed comments saying "Think back to when you were 14 or 15" I am 14 and read the novel and watched the film in school. I loved the novel, and was tremendously disappointed with this film, in particular the character of Cherry. I sure hope the actor has matured because in this-yuck! My year old brother could do a better job! I pity those who call this entertainment, 1 star out of ten-and only because of the namesake.

Romeo + Juliet (1996)

Beautiful

[10/10 · 30 March 2003]

I really LOVED this movie.

Perfectly acted, Perfectly written (thanks William!), Perfectly modernised.

And the presence of one Mr J Bradord, what more can a girl ask for?

Presumed Innocent (1990)

Maybe a bit long...

[6/10 · 30 March 2003]

Despite reading some comments about Harrison Ford's acting, I didn't think that it was anything special... Anyway a clever little story, I get the feeling that the book would have been better than the movie though. A great idea, but the movie just falls short. Oh, I might add that this is generally not my type of movie anyhow, so others may enjoy it.

I only watched for movie for Jesse Bradford, who hardly got any screen-time :(

The New Guy (2002)

not BAD

[6/10 · 18 March 2003]

I have read a few review for The New Guy, most saying that it is not bad. I agree. Although The New Guy is not going to win any awards soon, it was worth a laugh.

Also, can I just say how many CONNECTIONS does someone have to get that many extras in this film (Gene Simmons, Tommy Lee, Tony Hawk etc.)

Clockstoppers (2002)

Average...

[18 March 2003]

Clockstoppers is basically very average. A few good idea's are mentioned, but never delved into. Clockstoppers is basically very plain; which is why I have next to no comments on it. Probably a too complex topic for the target audience...

ps. Worth it for any Jesse fan though!

According to Spencer (2001)

Typical chic-flick

[5/10 · 15 March 2003]

Okay, I admit it, I only rented this movie out because Jesse Bradford is in it (which if you ask me is good enough reason alone!) What I got was basically a predictable romance...There are a few amusing scenes in this film (mainly those with Spencer's room-mates) But thats it. The movie relies too heavily on gay jokes and basic plot elements. Best watched for either a Jesse perve, (which is worth it by the way!) Or for an easy-to-watch pretty much brain-less film.

Swimfan (2002)

Worth seeing just for Jesse in speedos!

[6/10 · 8 February 2003]

I know everyone seems to hate this movie, but I LOVED it it!

It made ME jump, and hey, there's always Jesse in speedos! Swimfan goes for about 90 minutes, but I AND the 3 friends I went with left the cinema feeling as though only half an hour had past.

Need I mention Jesse Bradford in speedos again? (didn't think so!)

Bring It On (2000)

The Pantone siblings steal the show!

[8/10 · 8 February 2003]

Great acting, and may I just say Jesse Bradford & Eliza Dushku rock! Anyways funny, cool, My then-six-year-old cousin, and even my grandma liked this film. Bring it On!

Race the Sun (1996)

A sweet little flick

[8 February 2003]

I thought that Race the Sun was a cute little movie; ironically I've read on-line that it's how poor Eliza Dushku became addicted to cigarettes at age 15! Anyways, the Australian outback is portrayed well (duh,' twas filmed in Sydney I also heard!) Race the Sun is a timeless family movie; based loosley around the true story of a group of under-achieving haawian school-kids who set out to win a solar car race in Australia
