Play-do factory franchises

(Updated Nov 01, 2001 10:11 AM)

The sole line to strike with truth in Lee Tamahori's Along Came a Spider comes when professional dim-bulb Penelope Ann Miller, as the mother of a kidnapped child, wrings her hands, furrows her brow, and whines: ''I... I don't understand.'' Springing as it no doubt does from a lifetime of repetit...Read more

Fear & Loathing in the 80''s

I went to see The Goonies at the age of twelve because I was a Cyndi Lauper fan. As co-star Ke Huy-Quan (now ''''Jonathan Ke Quan'''') hammed it up, I glimpsed the torments of my upcoming sixth grade year. See, Quan in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom doomed me to being called ''''Short Roun...Read more

Cliche That Will Live in Infamy

(Updated Oct 31, 2001 02:54 PM)

Pearl Harbor is an indescribably bad motion picture that is some kind of weird shambling hybrid of Independence Day, From Here To Eternity, and, saints preserve us, Titanic. It never would have seen the light of day, but for our collective and indefatigable appetite for barely literate nonsense ...Read more

LOVERBOY - thanks mate SPACEJUNKIE - Life as a House is a bald rip-off of American Beauty - it's bleeding AWFUL. No category on this site for the film, sadly - you can check out my review of it at: www.filmfreakcentral.net/screenreviews/lifeasahouse.htm

MISSY - thanks for the comment ED - Hi Ed. ABBEY - Thanks, A. NICK - I love Chris Cooper - his performance in LONE STAR is one of the great overlooked performances of the nineties (the film is likewise underestimated). Glad to be here, Nick.

Almost Perfect

Very simply, American Beauty is among the best films about the ugly particulars of American existence ever made. It captures the hopelessness, the frustration, the boredom of day-to-day existence - the tensions of familial bonds in that most unnatural of environments: suburbia, and the impossibi...Read more

Assault on Precinct 13 Redux

(Updated Oct 31, 2001 05:15 AM)

An uneasy, hippified version of a cowboys and Indians shoot-'em-up, John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars is an exhausted shade of the once-hip director's oeuvre, baldly stealing from his Assault on Precinct 13 before partially resurrecting later works The Fog, Escape from N.Y. & L.A., The Thing, and ...Read more
