Clownhouse (1989)

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure:

Watched it again last night at a friends house. Still entertaining, and very creative. Something today's movies lack all too often.

3.5 /5.0

I watched the Secret of NIMH for the first time... and I'm think I'm love with it.

Carbon Copy (1981)

Empire of the Ants - 1977 - This is a very good bad movie. The ants show up early and often. The special effects are as compelling as they are laughable. The acting is pretty bad and some of the plot was either lost or never written, but the non-stop action makes up for it. Caught on TV. 3/5

American Beauty - 1999 - I feel like this selfish midlife crisis fantasy is acclaimed purely on the strength of its actors. Kevin Spacey's dialog is fun, and Annette Bening's hateful shrew motivates it well. Yet the story mostly rings hollow, with the emotional and mental depth of the teenagers (except Mena Suvari's climactic revelation) providing more realism than anything else. I first saw it in the theater. Mrs steak picked it out on Netflix. 4/5

One of the overlooked gems from one of the greatest years for movies.

Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)

One of favorites since childhood. The settings are a treat to look at and the quirky, secluded caves really spark the imagination. 4/5
