The NeverEnding Story III (1994)

  • What's it about?: Several residents of Fantasia have escaped into the real world. Now Bastian must retrieve the Neverending Story from a group of bullies and get them back home.
  • Thoughts: This movie really sucks and is an insult to the original. Most of the characters are real annoying, especially the Rock Biter baby. Jack Black is the best part and still isn't enough to save it.
  • Rating: 2/10
  • Recommendation: Not Recommended
  • Tier: F

Demolition Man (1993)

 

  • What's it about?: Sylvester Stallone has been unfrozen from cryosleep to track down and stop a dangerous criminal who has been unleashed upon a pussified future society.

Augie
Jack Black
One of the bully characters, using the term bully lightly.

Bob Roberts (1992)


  • What's it about?: We follow Tim Robbins playing the titular Bob Roberts, a right wing folk singer/politician in his race for senate.
  • Thoughts: Pretty decent political mockumentary. Watching this film in current times shows me how much our political climate really hasn't changed at all, at least not since the 90s.
