Election (1999)
Not what I expected
When a friend asked me if I'd like to go see Election with her, I agreed and then popped on here to see what it was about. I read the first ten comments or so and was pleased with what I saw; therefore, I expected wonderful, or at least good, things from the film. I was disappointed. To be fair, the portrayal of high school antics was mildly amusing, but the humor was too blatant for my tastes. Nothing was left up to the imagination, nothing was a surprise, and all of it seemed a bit convoluted. The storylines were rambling and seemingly without end. The links between the elements were disjointed and frankly, uninteresting. I would have appreciated something that required a little more thought to comprehend, simply because I entered the film with hopes of novel wit and sarcasm.
Home Fries (1998)
Terrible, terrible, terrible...and worse
I have no hesitation when I say that this is absolutely the worst movie that I have ever seen in my entire life. I spent more of the movie looking at my watch than the screen. It was unbelievably dull and completely ridiculous. Luke Wilson was evidently trying to impersonate a bump on a log and Drew Barrymore was nearly unintelligible with her syrupy accent. I saw the movie at the dollar theatre and it wasn't even worth my dollar.
White Christmas (1954)
It's a classic
White Christmas is one of my all-time favorite films. When I was just a little girl, my father and I watched it one night and ever since then, I've gone back to it time and time again. The cast is marvelous (I've always had a thing for Danny Kaye) and the singing and dancing are superb. It's one of those films that leaves your heart full and it will always be one of my favorite treasures.
