Excess Baggage – Review

April 1, 1998

Too slow to be an action movie, too under-developed to be a love story. It milks every plot devise it can, and invents more when the well runs dry.

A Life Less Ordinary – Review

April 1, 1998

People watch stupid flicks like this drunk or baked after a long day trying not to draw attention to themselves at jobs they don’t care about enough to hate.

8 Heads in a Duffel Bag – Review

April 1, 1998

The scenes with mobster Joe Pesci tormenting frat boys David Spade and Todd Louiso to make them talk are the best in the movie. Appreciate them while they last.

Two Girls and a Guy – Review

April 1, 1998

We know Downey’s character is an actor who sings and plays the piano, he’s a mama’s boy, and that he’s a big time liar. But what do we know about the women?

Spice World – Review

April 1, 1998

Spiceworld’s few chuckle-evoking snippets are delivered by the supporting actors. Stephen Fry, Roger Moore, and Meatloaf drop some decent lines.

The Edge – Review

March 1, 1998

The Edge doesn’t go nuts with action, as it easily could, nor does it plunge into brains-over-brawn.

Nine Inch Nails : Closure – Review

March 1, 1998

The relentless barrage of bleak symbolism and stylized squalor can get a tad wearying in a single sitting, but you’re unlikely to find better all in one place.

Mimic – Review

March 1, 1998

Everyone crawls around dark subway shafts with clacking, seven-foot (vertical) cockroaches lurking behind every door. And wow are they scary.

Spawn – Review

March 1, 1998

Amazing art, creative layout, and juvenile storylines. It’s about love. It’s about good vs. evil. It’s all been done before, and far better at that.

Contact – Review

March 1, 1998

Contact gets as far as Christian-style faith issues and pushy American decision-making. Human evolution is clogged by red tape and archaic mindsets. Typical.
