In & Out – Review

September 1, 1998

As the characters come to terms with Howard’s gayness, the pace picks up and funny turns hilarious. Rewind the “moment of truth” and laugh yourself stupid.

Grease – Review

September 1, 1998

America has always been nostalgic about the 1950s. There was American Graffiti, Happy Days, and perhaps the quintessential ’50s epic, Grease.

Boogie Nights – Review

September 1, 1998

Boogie Nights is, on the whole, an assiduously ardent portrayal of the rise to prominence and penetration into the mainstream of pornographic film in the 1970s.

An American Werewolf in Paris – Review

September 1, 1998

London was goofy and quirky and seemed unselfconscious, Paris is intentionally funny, and while it elicits chuckles and snorts, they’re resented in retrospect.

187 – Review

September 1, 1998

Gangs rule the schools, intimidation is the only way to maintain respect, and the administration is more concerned with lawsuits than education.

Wait Until Dark – Review

September 1, 1998

So, how did Marisa Tomei compare to Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, who played the famous blind character in the film versions? Quite well.

Some Nudity Required – Review

September 1, 1998

Enthralling (and occasionally repellent) glimpses of the personalities that drift into exploitation’s orbit, presented with a refreshing lack of judgmentalism.

The Game – Review

April 1, 1998

A subgenre of films has popped up recently, trading on our knowledge of movie conventions and genre clichés, but even that subgenre’s starting to grow stale.

Hoodlum – Review

April 1, 1998

A powerful film and historical drama. For those who watch Dave Letterman and The Daily Show for our news, we need films like this, Casino, and Rage in Harlem.
