The Matrix (1999) -- Directed with Larry Wachowski. The Wachowski
Brothers took all the Hong Kong wirework moves, the latest in
stylized special effects (the type that doesn't look at all
"real," but instead "cool"), some
freshman-year debates about reality and the Man, and the
still-dumb-after-all-these-years Keanu Reeves, balled it all up
and threw it into this big sloppy gross (and yet slick) movie
that certainly deserved some attention... but Jesus, not this
much attention. It's fun stuff, but -- I guess because of
the moronic "philosophical" stuff going on in the movie
-- lots of people take it way too seriously. Slow-motion bullets
would remain popular for years to come. (Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski also
direct the sequel, The Matrix Reloaded.)
