K-Pax (2001)
In the movie, Kevin Spacey plays Prot, a man who appears at a train station one day without explanation and is eventually taken into the mental institution where a prominent doctor Mark Powell played by Jeff Bridges analyzes Prot who claims he is an alien from a planet called K-Pax. Doctor Powell who is having problems with his family, delves deeper and deeper into the mans psyche and begins to discover whether or not this man is a true alien or just a troubled genius of a man. What’s there to say about this movie?
John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001)
Now then, I’ll get straight to the main aspect of the movie that had my attention. The soundtrack. John Carpenter just has a knack for making innovative and creepy original soundtracks to these films. This soundtrack is kind of a hard rock guitar riff sound. The characters aren’t too shabby. The one that caught my attention most of the time was Natasha Henstridge who is s-o-o-o hot in this flick, especially when she’s kicking ass. Rapper Ice Cube is just great as the hardcore bull talking “Desolation” Williams, a sole prisoner who knows all about the aliens. He’s quick with the gun and manages to hold his own within this cast.
Vanilla Sky (2001)
Unfortunately, this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. One can find that hard to believe when you have a power packed cast like Tom Cruise, Kurt Russell, and Cameron Diaz along with director Cameron Crowe at the helm. To tell you what I thought of this movie while watching would be too graphic to display, but this is a painful movie to watch.
Battlefield Earth (2000)
There’s really only one way to summarize my sheer hatred for what is possibly one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. And it’s through a list.
1. The lighting is incredibly amateur with darkness where it should be light, and light where is should be dark. It seems a monkey lit the entire movie and most of the time the director doesn’t know how to set the mood.
Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000)
The laugh factor is very low in this. I’ll explain the plot crunch to you. Two dudes get slammed the night before, and wake up the next morning hung over. They then realize that their car is missing and now must go on a quest to find the car… There weren’t as much laughs as I suspected there would be. I was hoping to be in tears, yet only found myself lightly chuckle at a few parts. Ashton Kutcher is likeable in this, as he is in “That 70’s Show”. He does a good job.
Red Planet (2000)
The entire story is very sophisticated. Astronauts go to mars to find algae that was implanted for oxygen. Pretty simple. The whole concept that new life exists on this planet is a big thought which often left me pondering on the thought. The character interaction is good. As always, the best character would be Tom Sizemore which gives a great performance. The effects with the robot AMEE are really good.
