You know… Dustin Hoffman makes a really ugly woman.

Sphere
I was hoping this movie would be one of those hidden gems that everyone dismissed for the wrong reasons. It wasn’t. It was indeed pretty dumb. It did have a few good moments (the fact that the report was just ‘made up’), but it had way too many stupid moments (sea snakes at 1000ft? that was just silly). It also bothered me how unaffected the characters were about their fellow crewmates’ problems. In the end though, the premise allowed anything to be believable. I would be hard-pressed to recommend Sphere to anyone. It’s a good movie to watch while you’re busy doing something else… like playing cards or painting your didgeridoo.
Rain Man
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this all in one sitting. Actually, I’m not sure how it ends… but I’m pretty liberal as to adding things on this list. I guess it was good, but I wasn’t blown away or anything.
Outbreak
I guess it had to be made. I wish they had ended it by having the virus get out of control. The last scene should have been the military commander showing the first symptoms of the virus.
Little Big Man
Great black comedy about the American Indian wars, or should we say “slaughter”. It has you laughing, then you realize it’s really sickening… What’s amazing about this movie is that you realize how perverted the actions and attitudes of the US government (and US people) are. It’s easy to dismiss or laugh at the whole Indian question – which is what this movie has you doing for much of its length. Then, just when you’re thinking it’s all cute and funny, bam – reality hits.
Hook
Robin Williams = Peter Pan… you get the idea.
