Just Okay

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 1999)

"Man On the Moon I though was a fair film. I find Andy's humor a little off the wall for my tastes, and sometimes down right annoying from everything from his voice to his eye movement. So far, for the year of 1999, the best picture so far has to be "American Beauty" followed by a close second with "The Insider." Both films have showed magnificent star power, outstanding screenplays' and flawless directing. I have yet to see "Magnolia" but I have a feeling that one is going to be a leading contender.

With the Golden Globe nominations out and the Oscar nods just around the corner, one wondering if there is going to be a film to sweep the top 5 nominations (I.E. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best screenplay either original or dramatic.)
At the beginning of the year that film was thought to be "The Green Mile" but with Critics coming back with comments such as "lengthy" and managing only to come up with one nomination at the Globes one comes to wonder "Will American Beauty' sweep the Globes and then follow suit into the Oscars'..?
Only time will tell.
`Man On the Moon' Rating 8/10
