1. The Cell (2000)
It's easy to dismiss this one as "The Matrix meets Silence of the Lambs," but the director put a lot of thought into the visuals and the story is both well-paced and absorbing.
I miss this phase of Jennifer Lopez's career. Around this time she was more focused on acting, and her music career, her modeling career, and her public image didn't factor so much into the equation.
Fun Fact: Matrix comparisons aside, a lot of this movie was inspired by 1984's Dreamscape.
2. Get Carter (2000)
Sly Stallone stars as a Vegas tough guy back in town to solve the mystery of his estranged brother's murder.
It's an incredibly forgettable movie, and I wouldn't be surprised if I'd seen it before and somehow forgotten. Stallone does his Stallone thing throughout, and while he's doing it you can't help but wonder "Why?" as the minutes tick by.
It's a remake of a 70s classic which featured Michael Caine, who also appears briefly in this updated version. Just go watch the original - it's miles better.
Fun Fact: Stallone is convinced, to this very day, that his version is better than the original.
