The Matrix? Really... a movie with a fairly unredeemable plot, it looked to
me as though it was put together by a convention of the worlds' top
marketers. It was all style, no substance. Much as I do have a high opinion
of things stylish, I did begin to wonder if I'd watched anything at all,
starting about 5 minutes after the film ended.
Meanwhile, "The Sixth Sense", amongst a zillion other great films, was
released in 99. Come on!

(I still think they should have got Oscars for Best Jacket and Best
Supporting Leather Catsuit, however)
