SOMEONE SHOOT ME PLEASE!

Rating: 5/10 (2 October 2001)

Unforgettable and almost unforgivable as far as me falling for this hype and that exactly what it was: HYPE! I remember asking God to help me forgive myself for falling for this (I am going to be nice) hype.
I gave it a 5 for this reason only, the special effects were a 10! It did deserve an Oscar for the effects but that is all. I remember Mr. Dicaprio whining about not being nominated for a best actor Oscar. Well, with due respect to the young thespian, I didn't think he deserved to be nominated either. And the THEME SONG BY CELINE DION! I like Ms. Dion but that song! Here was the twist to that song. When it was played dance music style, I loved it! The original version though, I wanted to hang myself the more it kept playing. Well I just had to tolerate it while it was on.
However, many people liked it as the movie & song of 1997 and I have to respect that. My pick was L.A. Confidential as far as best movie was concern and I thought their sound track was better. I can look on the bright side though, Kevin Spacey won the Oscar for Best Actor for "L.A.". At least there is justice!
