American Psycho (2000)
Contentless, incoherent story with Dafoe as crowd-puller.
I ran into this movie on a sneak-preview night. Although the insights into the empty existence of New York City's yuppies was mildly funny at times to overall story went nowhere.
The main characters motivations remain totally unclear, and especially the end of the movie was extreemly unsatisfying, not to mention totally incomprehensible.
Willem Dafoe's sole 10 minutes acting time served no other purpose IMO than to draw in the crowd.
Ranks amongst the worst movies I ever saw.
The Opposite of Sex (1998)
One of the worst movies I ever saw.
This movie was compared to "Clueless". What a mistake. After the first 20 minutes the story doesn't go anywhere new, it's just more of the same. The "strong" language and gay-theme may be funny and shocking to U.S. audiences, European viewers are probably less easily shocked into laughter.
There's no emotional theme that I could see, or it would have to be the AIDS related death of a main characters partner that gets dragged into the story kicking and screaming.
I'd have walked out of the movie if it weren't for my companion who wanted to see it through to the end.
