1999 in review

Green Mile
Cider House Rules
Sixth Sense
The Insider
American Beauty

(Last one!) Kind of a mixed bag of movies for this year. One great one. One near great one. Two good ones and one that's only fair. Great acting throughout. Interesting stories throughout. American Beauty brought home the Oscar. I rated the Sixth Sense a bit higher, but I've got no problem with the way it went.
The only music that really stood out was from American Beauty. It stood out for being different but not necessarily great.
This was a pretty good year for movies. About a dozen or so that are good enough to be nominated. Some of my choices would be Fight Club, Being John Malkovich, Princess Mononoke and Rushmore.
