Godzilla

Godzilla

Isn't it ironic that the most anticipated and hyped film of the year, is also one of the worst? Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, the team who offered us the overrated Independence Day, bring the likable Japanese import to the states for an overblown American makeover. Who do these guys think they... [More]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Fear and loathing in a movie theater is more like it. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a sporadically entertaining film based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, that becomes quite tedious towards the last quarter of it's 130 minute running time. Terry Gilliam (of Monty Python fame) directs Jo... [More]

Bulworth

Bulworth

Warren Beatty gives one of the best performances of his career as Jay Billington Bulworth, a senator who, due to fatigue, takes a new political path--one of truth. To spread the word, he uses the world of rap music, making for one of the more entertaining films of the summer. Bulworth is one of... [More]

The X-Files

The X-Files

Is the truth really out there? Sort of. About five years ago, Chris Carter set out to create a new show along the lines of The Twilight Zone. It's taken awhile, but The X-Files has finally built a fairly large cult following. With the weekly T.V. show, Carter knows how to push all the right butt... [More]

Six Days, Seven Nights

Six Days, Seven Nights

One of the most dependable and profitable actors in Hollywood can finally add a royal bomb to his, until now, impressive resume. Harrison Ford stars with Anne Heche in the ill-conceived and virtually plotless romantic comedy, Six Days, Seven Nights. A shockingly dull effort from comedy director Iva... [More]

Mulan

Mulan

Disney is back with Mulan, a marginally engaging animated feature that lacks the magic that has made some of their past films soar. Mulan tells the story of a high-spirited young woman from Imperial China who, in an attempt to save her father's life, poses as a young man to take his place in war.... [More]

Small Soldiers

Small Soldiers

Finally an impressive special effects picture. Small Soldiers does suffer from the same problem as many special effects films--it doesn't offer a lot of interesting human interaction--but boy does it deliver technically. Joe Dante, who directed the equally entertaining Gremlins and Innerspace, has... [More]

Lethal Weapon 4

Lethal Weapon 4

Lethal Weapon 4 isn't a perfect sequel but it's certainly better than the last installment. This time out, Murtaugh and Riggs, played by Danny Glover and Mel Gibson, take on an Asian crime family. Also returning is Rene Russo, who first made her appearance in Part 3. She is now pregnant with Gibso... [More]

Dr. Dolittle

Dr. Dolittle

Add yet another lousy remake to a year full of them. If Lost in Space wasn't bad enough (it ranks as one of the worst films I've ever seen), check out this poor excuse for a movie, that takes it's title from the wonderfully enchanting Rex Harrison musical. Sadly, that's all it takes. This contemp... [More]

Armageddon

Armageddon

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is back with another loud, preposterous action extravaganza--only this time he's made a film that's a little more audience-friendly than past efforts including, Con Air and The Rock. Tell me if this scenario sounds familiar. A gigantic asteroid is barreling towards Earth... [More]

Object of My Affection

Object of My Affection

Let me start by saying that if I were gay, I would be insulted to sit through this film. Friends star Jennifer Aniston competently plays a woman who falls for a sensitive gay man played by Paul Rudd, who becomes quite annoying by the film's second half. Object of My Affection is overloaded wi... [More]

Night Watch

Night Watch

The real star of this suspense thriller is the morgue in which the film is set. Ewan Mcgregor plays a college student who takes a job as night watchmen at the morgue to get himself out of debt. It's not long before murders start taking place, and Mcgregor finds himself implicated. Nick Nolte is h... [More]

My Giant

My Giant

This fish-out-of-water story gets a big boost from a solid performance from Billy Crystal and an extremely likable turn by the NBA's Gheorghe Muresan. Crystal plays a talent agent who discovers a Romanian giant. In a frantic attempt to save his sagging career, Crystal gets the giant a role in a fi... [More]

Ever After

Ever After

Cinderella gets a makeover in this live action telling of the famous fairy tale. The big surprise is how well this film actually works. Andy Tennant, who last directed the lightweight romantic comedy Fools Rush In, directs Drew Barrymore in this beautiful looking romance that gets a big boost f... [More]
