Pride and Prejudice (2003)
Not recommended
Jane Austen must roll in her grave every time this film version of her book is watched. This modern day adaptation fails miserably. The characters are not well defined. Even though Elizabeth is charming, there is no chemistry between her and Mr. Darcy. In addition, I cannot believe that the youngest girl in the group is the age the director is trying to portray her as. She seems much older trying to play a younger part. And every time she is on screen I am reminded how fake this film feels. The acting is generally too silly and unbelievable by the whole cast. They are obviously trying to appeal to a pre-teen demographic and in doing so eliminate every other demographic on the map from enjoying the film. Save your time and watch another version of this awesome book.
The Planet's Funniest Animals (1999)
FOR ANIMAL LOVERS
This is a great show for those who regard their pets as members of their family. Each individual clip is cute and provides for simple, lighthearted, and fun family entertainment. I enjoy this series very much.
The Hurricane (1999)
A poor screenplay with a good lead actor
***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Even though Denzel Washington did a good job acting, the screenplay was weak therefore making the film itself disappointing. Overall, the characters in this film were not well developed. The evil nemesis of Rubin Carter was definitely proven evil, but I would've liked to see some explanation why he was so evil. Then, the second half of the film brought new characters without any development at all. The three teachers who helped proved Rubin Carter innocent didn't seem to have any motivation or passion at all. They were very flat characters. And, it seemed that they found all this new evidence without really trying. Even the threats seemed empty. Finally, the ending was unclear. The federal judge freed Rubin Carter with an ambiguous explanation. The explanation may work for lawyers, but as a layman I did not understand it at all. It all seemed too easy. In essence, even though Denzel Washington did a good job, the screenplay was weak and therefore the film itself was disappointing.
