Unforgettable – Review

April 1, 1996

The acting is so overboard, with Ray and Linda on the run from the memory Feds. At this point, the movie just couldn’t muster enough sanity to be believable.

Taxi Driver – Review

April 1, 1996

For the last twenty years, Taxi Driver has stood on its own in some dark corner, beckoning for another film to stand up to it. It’s still waiting.

Nico Icon – Review

April 1, 1996

The German documentary film, Nico Icon, takes us into hotel rooms, Paris apartments, and the Warhol Factory of the ’60s.

Mary Reilly – Review

April 1, 1996

Mary Reilly loses its grip on viewers within the first half hour. For all its dark lighting and gloomy atmosphere, real tension and fear are sorely lacking.

Mallrats – Review

April 1, 1996

These are not “slacker” movies, they’re “My-life-sucks-and-I’m-in-a-rut” movies. Maybe that’s why I relate.

Ghost in the Shell – Review

April 1, 1996

A film that is as literate, gripping and thought-provoking as great science fiction movies like Blade Runner or 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Andy Warhol’s Flesh – Review

April 1, 1996

Flesh, the first of a trilogy that included Trash and Heat (1969 and 1970 respectively), is likely the best-known (and most enjoyable, continuity-wise).

Leaving Las Vegas – Review

March 1, 1996

Astonishing and nerve-wracking, containing all the elements of a love story and a tragedy, because, from the inside of a bottle, most things are.

King of New York – Review

March 1, 1996

It’s textbook Walken, tailor-made for his blank stares and jaundiced sneers. From taking out mob bosses, to dancing, we adore the man for doing what we can’t.
