Movies/DVDs

Conspiracy Theory – Review

March 1, 1998

Paranoia and puppy love mix about as well as oil and water. Same with wacky, over-verbal, giddiness and Bondian spy-guy action.

Volcano – Review

December 1, 1997

Sure, Dante’s Paek had a beautiful mountain, but Volcano has fireballs and whole city blocks getting destroyed.

Rosewood – Review

December 1, 1997

Rosewood is one of those rare movies that is beautifully set, rich and believable in time, place, and culture, yet painful for those exact same reasons.

Glory Daze – Review

December 1, 1997

Glory Daze is supposed to be a smart comedy about being dumb. It was written and directed by the guy who wrote The Jerky Boys.

Con Air – Review

December 1, 1997

Lots of quick-witted bad guys say lots of cool bad guy stuff during lots of innovative bad-guys-foil-good-guys-traps in which lots of stuff gets blown up.

Cinema Beer Nuts – Review

December 1, 1997

As with any mixed bag of nuts, some are savory, some are bitter, some are almost candy sweet, and a handful can be swallowed without really noticing any taste.

Boogie Nights – Review

December 1, 1997

Anderson loves each of his characters for all their flaws and failings, letting them put themselves through the wringer but always welcoming them home.

A Life Less Ordinary – Review

December 1, 1997

This should have been just a madcap, goofy, directed-by-Carl-Reiner sort of comedy. They threw in gratuitous violence, bad hair, bad skin, and bad singing.

Wig Rodeo – Review

November 1, 1997

There’s nothing like a nice blast of sub-independent no-budget filmmaking to clear the Hollywood-narcotized brain every once in a while.
