Technological Threat (1988)

Reviewed on Jul 21, 2000

Nice to see that there’s other edgy, socially aware animation aside from the Simpsons and South Park.

The Lucky Number (1932)

Reviewed on Jul 11, 2000

Nice, simple story. Very theatrical. Mollison was fantastic. Great debut. Looks a bit like Tim Roth. I wonder if he’s still around. Wyndham’s a hottie.

Bowfinger (1999)

Reviewed on Jul 1, 2000

Martin does Hollywood satire once again, only this time it’s not as entertaining. A cross between L.A. Story and Ed Wood. I’m sick of seeing Murphy show himself off as several different characters.

The Farrelly formula: shocking gross-out humor, genitalia gags, animatronic animal cruelty, and random, exaggerated absurdities blended with simple romance and set to 70’s-style easy listening tunes. Carrey returns to his comic roots and does a pretty god job. Lots of opportunities for physical humor. Part of his appeal is that…

Flatliners (1990)

Story’s not bad. Even Travolta’s not bad. I love his conversation with Woods.

Rogue Trader (1999)

Good, tense moments if you understand the technicalities of the securities market. Nice to see McGregor without much make-up. Makes him more real.

Romper Stomper (1992)

Reviewed on May 23, 2000

A strange mix of A Clockwork Orange and Trainspotting, with themes from American History X. Playful characters, acting, camerawork, and editing make it similar to Mad Max in style. No close-ups, which is nice. We get to see a younger, thinner Crowe, who even then had that internal intensity that…

The Sweet Hereafter (1997)

Reviewed on May 20, 2000

Slow and confusing. Same weird snowy place, funny accents, and musical appeal as Fargo. The lawyer was a bit strange for a protagonist. The Go girl was good.
