The Sixth Sense (1999)
Movie of the week?
I like Bruce Willis movies just as much as the next guy...but I saw this movie at a special screening and I have to say that I was disappointed. The concept itself of a young boy cursed with the ability to see the dead in a heightened sense is very cool...but...the movie itself is dragged out and long...it's as if they had a 30+ page script and tried to stretch it into a lengthy 2 hours...I'd recommend it for a decent rental only.

The Delicate Art of the Rifle (1996)
And you thought you were twisted...
If any of you has had the rare opportunity to view this work of what looks like student art....then I suggest you get cable and wait for the Independent Film Channel to give it to you....I've had the weak luck of catching this film on the channel...It follows a common college student and his common day on campus with bizarre stories and visuals...(his friends are just as weird)...And just when you think it's about to get boring.... BLAM!...a sniper(who just so happens to be our leads roomate) is taking out people in the courtyard in a comedic manner... Some of the greatest scenes in the film are on the sniper's roof and all of the philosophical discussions that our poor damaged sniper confesses to our lead in acts of desperation.. The film itself is unique in it's weirdness....
PS:If anybody can find a copy of this for sale...TELL ME WHERE TO GO!...
Happiness (1998)
I came out of this movie "damaged"...
Just hearing the name Todd Solondz urged me to see this film that explores all of the facets of sexual depravity(most commonly males)and causes you to feel remorse for what we in the present world call monsters. Dylan Baker plays the ultimate father knows best(who just happens to be a pedophile that molests his son's young male friends). What is largely ironic about this film is that "Happiness" is apparently nowhere to be found within it...instead we view this coated layer of self induced lies that normal citizens envelop themselves in for protection. Jon Lovitz has a great cameo at the begining of the film that shows he can play more than just goofy comedic roles. This movie is definitely for an art oriented crowd..and NOT a recommended date movie....unless you plan on breaking up with your loved one...
Six-String Samurai (1998)
HEEEEEEEYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
I had the rare honor of viewing this movie on Sunset the week it came out...and watching what was the accumulation of massive amounts of hard work...I thoroughly enjoyed the film...It's so original it's frightening...The choreography and a perfect mix of acid surf music thrust you on this adrenalin surged ride..that has been influenced by everything...Buddy(our hero) is the love child of Clint Eastwood, Mr.Blonde and Stephen Dorf. The sword play is incredible...but Jeffrey Falcon's acting could use some work...but, hey...who's watching the acting... He slices! He dices!...He goes through an entire hillside of Russian soldiers!...This movie is great following a night on the town...!
