This just might be one of the most twisted movies out there. I’ve seen lots of crazy shit, but this one is done with such authenticy that its just creepy. In case you were wondering, it’s about incest. Freaky? warped? wacked? all of the above.

Spaceballs
I know a lot of people thought this was funny, and I do “get it”. It just didn’t “get me”. Sure, there were a few funny things, but there wasn’t enough to support an entire movie. I mean, Star Wars is SO easy to parody, they could’ve done a better job.
South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut

The Sound of Music
An engaged man has an affair with his kids nanny… who is training to be a nun. What a sicko.
Someone Like You
A woman comes up with a completely lame & tired theory about men. God, this movie is pathetic. It’s ok if you just want to see Ashley Judd jump around in her underwear. There isn’t one non-beautiful person in the entire cast… Watch it with the volume off & you won’t miss anything.
Soldier
Kurt Russell kills people. Hey, give him a break, that’s all he knows. This was a really dumb movie. It wasn’t that stupid or anything, just boring and unoriginal. I was expecting more from the man who WAS Captain Ron!
So I Married an Axe Murderer
F’k UUUU!
When I hiked the PCT, a couple hikers used this call as their yell to each other. When you’re hiking in big spaces, sometimes just yelling is what you need to do to communicate. So, if you’re separated and needed to check on each other, the call goes out. F’k UUU! carries pretty well. This actually came in handy – quite practical when I was hiking with them.
Sneakers
Robert Redford does few movies… so why did he pick this one? Seen one superspy movie, seen ’em all.
Small Soldiers
Entertaining, but not really entertaining. It was better than I had expected, so I guess that makes it at least mediocre.
Slums of Beverly Hills
Disturbing and refreshing all at once. It’s about a family (father and 3 kids) who jump from apartment to apartment in the outskirts of Beverly Hills (so the kids can go to good schools). The father is all washed-up, and only has the kids to keep him going. The main character (the daughter) is trying to figure out how to be a woman in the company of 3 men. Her only female role-model is her happy-go-lucky, hippy cousin who comes to live with them for a little while. Despite all their problems, this family somehow scrapes by and maintains a bizarre sort of dignity in the process. I was especially impressed by the “made up language”… that the two women used. I couldn’t figure it out at all. This movie is based on someone’s actual life. Some people manage to grow up no matter how screwed up their lives are.
Sling Blade
I reckon this was one of the coolest movies I’ve seen in a while, u-huh. I remember thinking that it couldn’t live up to its hype, but it did. Whoever played the bad guy in this movie did an excellent job, and of course, BBT did a good little number himself.
Sleepy Hollow
Really stylish. I liked the one-dimensional Hessian bad guy. He doesn’t dick around, just “off with their heads” and that’s about it. As for the “whodunnit” plot…? It was good enough, but not spectacular or anything.
Sleepless in Seattle
Another chance for Meg Ryan to be cute, although she almost meets her match with Tom Hanks (playing with his boy at the park?). I have to say though, these movies try to make life look so difficult, but when you look at the life these people have, give me a break! (other than the untimely death of the kid’s mom).
Sleeper
One of my favorite woody allen movies. I have a real hard time telling them apart (except this one)… in fact, I really don’t understand how he keeps making them… and making them good. This one is a bit different, Woody takes his shtick to the future, or outer space or some crazy thing like that.
Slap Shot
I feel like I should really like this movie, but I only kind of like it. Hockey players fighting? big news. Of course, the Hanson bros. are amazing characters – the most unlikely tough-guys ever.
Slacker
Hey. Ok, sure, like whatever man. It’s all right. Just some people passing the camera around, and uh, a movie I guess… kinda. It was pretty good, ya know? I dunno… uh… ya.
The Skeleton Key
I felt a bit cheated by this one. It’s really easy to have a surprise ending when you rely on the supernatural – anything goes. I did like the ending, and I did like the way the movie keeps you guessing all throughout. It’s just that the rest of the movie didn’t make me believe in the hoodoo witchcraft thing – so when it turned out to be real, I felt a bit cheated. Oops, I guess I gave away the ending. Sort of.
Sky High
I saw this on the train and didn’t have earphones, so I didn’t hear the sound. Still, I was able to follow the plot pretty darn well. Sure, it was predictable, sappy, cheesy, etc. But, it was also entertaining;I’ve seen much worse. I can’t think of any major plot line complaints.
The Sixth Sense
A good flick, worth the wait for the “Ooooohhhh, I get it…” moment. But, when you think about it… that’s about all there was. And if you know there’s going to be a surprise plot twist (like I did), you’re likely to spend the whole time guessing what it is, and guess it before it’s revealed… which takes a bit of the steam off the thing.
The 6th Day
Oh Boy! Another Ahnold Swartzenzzeggegzeer action flick! Yup, it was dumb. The only neat things about this movie were the futuristic gadgets, and those weren’t even that cool. Ok, I guess the cloning thing was interesting… but the action was ridiculous. I don’t understand why A.S. is such an action movie guy… He just has muscles and attitude – the only good movies he’s done are movies in which that’s all that matters (see Conan and Terminator). I wish he’d do more movies in which he has no speaking parts.
Sixteen Candles
Yup, I saw this… probably 2 dozen times when I was in high school. Just one of those movies that was in the atmosphere back then. There was no escaping it. Funny thing is that it was such an unreal story, yet so believable all the same.
Six-String Samauri
I was trying to think of a word that best describes this move. I think that word is ‘silly’. The plot? After WWIII happens in 1957, Elvis becomes king. Well, the king is now dead, and dozens of musician/tough-guys are on their way to Lost Vegas to claim the crown. The main character is an invincible-semi-alcoholic-swashbuckling-martial-arts-expert-guitar-player. Throughout the movie he manages to kill hundreds of people who get in his way… He’s chased by some death metal guy, and is forced to be a father figure to a little kid who is tagging along. This movie steals scenes and ideas from all kinds of movies & other stuff: Wizard of Oz, Conan the barbarian, Buddy Holly, countless westerns & Kung-Fu movies, Star Wars, Road Warrior, Buckaroo Banzai, 60’s TV shows, and probably a dozen other movies I’ve never seen. I’m not sure if that was its greatest strength or greatest weakness… It was done very blatantly… and in a comical way. It was like a warped reflection of popular culture over the last 40 years. I was a little ‘bugged’ by the filming of many of the action scenes – you couldn’t always see just what was going on. I think that had a lot to do with the low budget of the movie though. Anyway, if you want to see a silly movie, this one will do just fine. If you want to see ‘high art’, go see something else. (I think my favorite ‘stolen scene’ was in the very beginning… They totally duplicated the scene where Conan’s mother gets her head chopped off – I was laughing out loud.)
Singles
If only dating were this easy… and they try to make it look so difficult… HA! They should make a movie about all the single people I know, now THAT would be depressing!
Singin’ in the Rain
Gosh, that Debbie Reynolds was just cute as a button wasn’t she? This movie is definitely worth a view just for the title song/dance sequence.
A Simple Plan
Nothing’s ever that simple. Billy Bob Thorton does a great “dimwit”. I loved the “what do I get?” scene. I didn’t understand why the main character didn’t just move to a better, bigger town though. He could probably get a pretty decent job somewhere and do just fine. It’s not like he didn’t want to move in the first place, that was even part of his “simple” plan.
