Varsity Blues – Review

September 1, 1999

Cardboard stereotypes that rebel in boring ways at safe times, and end up in the same place as if they’d never fought the good fight in the first place.

The Speed Of Mind – Review

September 1, 1999

The tone of Patrick Hasson’s debut feature reminds me of Richard Linklater’s Slacker. The best comparison is to Harmony Korine’s overrated and confusing Gummo.

The Matrix – Review

September 1, 1999

Kind of like The Truman Show, except only a few dozen rebels are in on the gag. It’s not a complete paradise. It seems we need a certain amount of misery.

Payback – Review

September 1, 1999

The return of the mean Mel Gibson from Road Warrior (his voice is deeper and gruffer than it has been in years), yet with the humor the man is famous for.

Hurlyburly – Review

September 1, 1999

Great roles played by great actors doing practically nothing but talking and arguing (“Clarifying,” Mickey might amend), with the occasional drive in the car.

Two Guys on Paul Schrader – Column

April 1, 1999

Affliction is what you get when there’s perfect harmony between all the elements of film: The directing, writing, cinematography, set design, editing, acting…

The Wedding Singer – Review

April 1, 1999

Boy meets girl, they fall for each other but are committed to others, they pal around and hide their feelings, they finally get together. Predictable but sweet.

The Negotiator – Review

April 1, 1999

The Negotiator uses every trick in the “cop movie” book of clichés, yet has two masterful actors who can turn ordinary words into bold, magnificent statements.
