A Child’s Night Dream – Oliver Stone – Review April 1, 1999 Thirty years ago, Oliver Stone was a young Yalie malcontent, drunk on Kerouac and dodging shrapnel on Saigon battlefields.
U-Turn – Review September 1, 1998 Many great camera angles, loads of props to nod knowingly to yourself over, and a story line that, when all is said and done, amounts to squat.
Evita – Review February 1, 1997 Even if you’re not a fan of Madonna, you have to be impressed with Evita. Andrew Lloyd Webber actually came up with a score that involves more than two songs.

Natural Born Killers – Review September 1, 1994 In keeping with the Bonnie and Clyde tradition, the pair teases the cops by leaving witnesses alive to tell the tales of their violent exploits.
