Dracula (1992)-I really can't even remember seeing it, but I think I did, so if I saw it, then it's a non memorable 4/10, otherwise, not rating. Just don't know for sure. I think I did see it, though.
The Mummy (1999)-My friends thoroughly loved this at the theater, but I was just "yeah, okay,". There was nothing terribly really wrong with the weak story, but the special effects were too much. If I want all that sound and fury, signifying nothing, I'll go to a casino or arcade, because it was the same sensation. Again 4/10. Sad, because all the idiot director had to do was take out all those stupid special effects and it would have been an entertaining 7/10.
Hollow Man (2000) did not see
Frankenstein (1994) The snob appeal of being more like the book than most movies would mean something if the book was really that well written, but it isn't. The ship captain at the beginning is a cliche character in Hollywood. And before Hollywood, it was a cliche character in literature. She tries to write "characters", but she fails, for real. It isn't a terrible movie, and the minor characters, at least, make some sense, so I give it 7/10, but I tend to be generous to modern movies (post 1965) since they compete against other inferior modern movies.
Wolf (1994) I had this one predicted, which would satisfy me if I wasn't just predicting it to be Hollywood. Not terrible. 5/10, but extremely "safe" and taking no risks.
Sleepy Hollow (1999) This one was pretty good. It didn't try to do too much, and simply told the story. 7.4/10
The Shape of Water (2018) did not see
The Phantom of the Opera (2004) Good grief, what an ordeal to watch this. Andrew Lloyd again writes one good song, a few good chords, but plays the same drone over and over till you want to scream. You can't watch this with the sound playing. And the story is turned into even more of the usual Hollywood formula of being depressing. 2/10
The Bride (1985) I don't believe I saw this in one sitting, but in bits and pieces. It looked better than the rest of the bunch, from what I saw, but can't rate.
