CHICK-FLICK ALERT!!!

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 1999)

For those of you unfamiliar with the term chick-flick. A chick-flick is one of those movies that appeals to bored housewives, pre-teen girls, and (professional) movie critics. You have all seen at least some of a chick-flick. Be it the Victorian-England costume drama, the Shakespere movie, or pretty much anything starring Maryl Streep.
Titanic is a major-leage chick flick.
I saw this movie (once) and have to say that, while the special effects of the last 45 minutes were really cool, the rest of the movie was typical chick flick. It was a bad story, combined with bad acting, bad dialog, bad script-writing, and a really bad theme song (if I hear that Celine Dion song one more time I'm gonna freakin' rip my hair out) .
Now some people are gonna say to me "Oh yeah, how do you explain the box-office records?". Well, have you ever seen the theater line for Titanic? 99% of the patronage is young girls who keep pictures of Leonardo DiCrappio in their purses and have seen Titanic 25 times each. If you can get a pretty-boy lead coupled with a stupid, simple, tragic romance and an annoying theme song, any movie can be a blockbuster.
If you are a normal guy, you probably won't like this movie. But if chick-flicks are your favorite, enjoy.
