Coin Lands Bad Side Up For Batman Franchise.

The iconoclastic Batman villain, Two-Face, was built on the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde premise of a man apart. It is interesting he is chosen as one of two leading antagonists for Batman's third installment, because, realistically, he is a microcosm of the 80's & 90's franchise, & its sudden behavior...Read more

A Sad Finish To A Hell Of A Franchise...

Stars: Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman After Alien III's failure to impress, the Alien franchise needed a shot in the arm --- instead, it wound up with a permanent black eye.

Royal Viewing...

Stars: Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller Too many cooks can often spoil a broth, as too many names can often spoil a film. Not so in off-beat director Wes Anderson's quirky tragi-comedy about a supremely dysfunctional family of super-talents turned super-bizarre. The line-up here ...Read more

Director Martin Scorsese's Howard Hughes-inspired epic has a splendid opening hour, it's lavish & polished to a fine degree.

Put On Yur Seat-Belts!! Your Ride To The Extreme B
Predator Movie

You credit this film, & the acting especially, with a little more than it deserves. But it is a milestone for the silver screen. Four stars for me. If you haven't already got it, I recommend the two-disc special edition DVD. But to say the Alien franchise doesn't compare to Predator is insult...ing. It did a lot better, admittedly on a bigger budget though. They were both great franchises.Read More

Your review was a little all over the place, but was nonetheless informative. I believe the year was 1898, btw.
