Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
awful, awful movie
I never thought that I would see Nicole Kidman naked in a movie, and still absolutely hate it. But seriously, this movie has very few redeeming qualities. The plot takes a long time to develop, and then nothing happens. About 1/3 of the way through, there is actually some tension, and I cared what was happening. This situation gets resolved almost inexplicably, and then absolutely nothing happens the rest of way. If this movie had not been Stanley Kubrick's last film, no one would even remember it.
October Sky (1999)
Great movie - for the kids
This movie is a very clean cut, entertaining film. One aspect I really enjoyed was that very little was changed from actual events, because some plotlines seem "Hollywood". The main characters could have been developed a bit more, but all in all a very worthwhile film.
Private Parts (1997)
If you're a fan, you'll love the movie
A very entertaining movie. Very self-serving, although that to be expected. People who hate Stern may even like the movie. Some of the most entertaining scenes are the fictional "what really happened" scenes, but if you don't care about historical accuracy, its great.
Next Stop Wonderland (1998)
Very entertaining
I wasn't really expecting to like this movie (chick flick!), but it really was entertaining. Several of the dating scenes are very, very funny, but you still come to care about the characters. Definitely a recommended rental.
Twilight (1998)
Nothing Special
The first five minutes of this movie are pretty good, then it goes steadily downhill. The ending was completely unsatisfying. The script has several interesting characters, but the storyline does almost nothing with them.
