Review by FilmHobbit : 2001-11-12

Jack Black is a terrible actor. He might be the worst I’ve ever seen. I love him. The thing is, the guy doesn’t act, he just talks. Talks like he’d talk to you or me, converses just like he’s hangin out living his life and oh isn’t this nice. The guy is real. He doesn’t act, he doesn’t have to. Black knows how to be himself and it’s magnetic.

Steve Payne (aka Paynie) takes us on a tour of the annual festival of art, drugs, and excess known as Burning Man. His 55-minute documentary is fun and lighthearted, but alas it lacks the critical eye that any enduring doc requires.

Martin Lawrence is a very funny guy who is usually a lot better than the movies around him, which tend to play as though half the script reads, “Martin enters and does funny things.” This time, the material comes a little closer to his talents, in a story inspired by Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.”
Lawrence plays Jamal, an employee of a run-down medieval theme park who is vastly more attentive to brushing his teeth than he is to anything relating to his job. When a rival theme park called Castle World moves to his neighborhood, he tells his boss that it is time for her to sell out and retire. She tries to explain that she has a commitment to creating good jobs in the community, but he does not understand.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 11/19/01
This is an extremely well-crafted film, which is by most accounts an excellent visualization of the characters and settings in the book of the same name. The filmmakers have done an excellent job of fleshing out the characters and rapidly introducing the new viewers to the Harry Potter persona.
The story itself is quite basic and intended, it seems, for a young audience. Harry and his two pals resist and overcome the evil adults, as they attempt to eliminate the negative forces from Hogwarts.
