Welcome to the Dollhouse – Review

August 1, 1996

While most teen flicks set us up to cheer when the underdog fights back and wins, there are those who break down, and Solondz pulls no punches on that score.

Trainspotting – Review

August 1, 1996

Irvine Welsh’s ambivalent tale of heroin addiction amid the self-contained projects of east Edinburgh provides a lust for life no summer blockbuster can muster.

August 1, 1996

Rupert Pupkin is a lonely would-be stand-up comic, one of the millions in the Big Apple, who feeds off the fame of others and the bright lights that elude him.

The Cable Guy – Review

August 1, 1996

The Cable Guy is a fiercely crafted dark comedy, a nasty yank at the wires of our video-saturated culture and my favorite film of 1996 thus far.

Kansas City – Review

August 1, 1996

The brilliance of Kansas City lies in Altman’s steadfast refusal to adhere to cinematic conventions, even the ones he himself created.

Talk Radio – Review

June 1, 1996

This unrelentingly black tragicomedy may just be the peak of both Stone’s and Bogosian’s careers. A little-heralded masterpiece.
