Three Slices of Summer – Column

September 1, 2000

Waters must’ve read some books on directing because Demented is the most visually expressive of all his output. It’s like he finally decided to stop hating the camera, or separate the camera from the audience, or something.

High Fidelity – Review

June 1, 2000

Much in the vein of Douglas Coupland’s collection of slacker stories, the point is to examine the life of the subject, and how he reacts to the day-to-day.

Movies: Shots in the Dark – Column

June 1, 2000

When they were kids, they needed movies to thumb noses at their parents, and now are eager for films like American Beauty and Simpatico which offer appeasement for those who have turned into their parents, only with greater hypocrisy and less taste.

What Planet are You From? – Review

April 1, 2000

I hate to see a good punchline wasted. In Mike Nichols’ new film, the few good punch lines are shredded by a silly, derivative excuse for a rousing sex comedy.

The Ninth Gate – Review

April 1, 2000

Johnny Depp is director/co-screenwriter Roman Polanski’s leading man, occupying nearly every scene (if not all of them) in this fable/thriller.

The Beach – Review

April 1, 2000

From the three blokes we’ll always think of as the “Trainspotting trio,” The Beach is about the perfect place that some travelers are always searching for.

Scream 3 – Review

April 1, 2000

Scream 3 is much funnier than Scream 2, and probably funnier than the first. Many of the jokes build on jokes from the previous films, especially the first.

Wicked City – Review

April 1, 2000

Animated, hard-boiled, detective science fiction jam-packed with grotesque sexual imagery. Written by Hideyuki Kikuchi, the author of Vampire Hunter D.

Vampire Hunter D – Review

April 1, 2000

With bad translation and insipid dialog no longer dragging it down, Vampire Hunter D is still plagued by bad animation, grating characters, and a lack of style.

Superstar – Review

April 1, 2000

The idea of a klutzy outsider suffering through humiliation only to prevail in the end has been done to death, but there are worse movies of that ilk out there.
