The Fifth Element – Review

July 1, 1997

Pure science fiction, baby – it is as much a libidinous history of science fiction film as it is science fiction itself.

Children of the Revolution – Review

July 1, 1997

Children of the Revolution is a courageous dare by first-time director Peter Duncan. He bases the film on one premise: What if Joseph Stalin had a son, and would he turn out just like Old Joe?

Chasing Amy – Review

July 1, 1997

Writer/director Kevin Smith knows a thing or two the big guys in Hollywood don’t, like, for instance, how to talk to people under 35 for whom Julia Roberts is not the pinnacle of sexual desirability. But he’s also got a thing or two to learn, or maybe unlearn.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery – Review

July 1, 1997

By rights, it should have been disastrous: it’s got a way-overused fish-out-of-water plot, rampant juvenile innuendo, urination and defecation jokes, a leading man with an affinity for look-at-me-aren’t-I-cute mannerisms when the gags aren’t there, and a cameo appearance by Tom Arnold.

The Ghost and the Darkness – Review

July 1, 1997

Telling the tale of man-eating lions who terrorized the railroad-building village of Tsavo, Africa in 1896, The Ghost and the Darkness transcends man-vs-beast.

The Blind Lead – Review

July 1, 1997

Johnny Boy wrote a play that has something to do with why he, his girlfriend, and friend drive to New York. Inspired by either Nick Zedd or John Cassavettes.

Ransom – Review

July 1, 1997

While the ending seems almost tacked on, the flip-flopping of who’s in control and the visible click in the mind’s of the two men keeps the action tense.

Mother Night – Review

July 1, 1997

Mother Night is based on the novel by Kurt Vonnegut of the same name, a bestseller, but one that is generally not as well known as some of his other books.

Last Man Standing – Review

June 1, 1997

Similar to Reservoir Dogs, everyone dies. Well, except the dames Willis sends on their way before the bloodshed turns the dusty roads to mud.
