Roger’s Worst Pick for 1999 – Baby Geniuses
Joel’s Worst Pick for 1999 – Pokémon The First Movie
“|Baby Geniuses” was ugly.
I’ve never, ever seen Baby Geniuses though I have to agree with Roger, this movie along with its sequel and its series in general should have never ever seen the light of day.
Guy who directed it was Porky’s Bob Clark.
Well, I like Bob Clark’s Xmas memories of growing up in Indiana. But, not his memories of infants or adolescents.
I loved Magnolia and Cruel Intentions was okay. But how can Joel say that about Kevin Costner? He didn’t like JFK or A Perfect World, the dummy?

A Christmas Story was not written by Bob Clark, he was just the director. The movie is based on Jean Shepherd’s excellent novel “In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash.” Those are his memories. The voice narrating the film is Shepherd’s.
