Mars Attacks! (1996)
Aliens Kill Humans. Repeat. LAME!
This movie had tons of stars and lots of humor potential, but no humor!!! I don't remember one funny line from the movie! All it was was a disturbingly violent cartoon. Here is the entire plot:
He He! Alien gruesomely kills a human. He He!
Repeat, 50 times. The End. LAME!
The Haunting (1999)
Not bad.
The Good: Good acting. Good special effects. It didn't rely on the unnecessary, disturbing gore usually accompanied by most horror flicks.
The Bad: Too many of the scary special effects were shown in the previews, lessening their affect in the movie. The reason why the house was haunted and the climax of the movie didn't make sense. Then again, a plot based on a haunted house is difficult to make much sense anyway.
Pleasantville (1998)
Really Disturbing
Pleasantville is the only movie I have ever walked out on.
It was advertised as a family movie as creative as The Truman Show, but ended up being a boring two-hour commercial for how sex outside of marriage has brought society out of the blah dark ages of the 50's.
The disturbing message and boring plot completely overshadowed the mildly interesting special affects and the Twilight Zone type plot. Save your money and rent The Truman Show.
