Coneheads (1993)
Pretty dumb. They probably should have done this movie back when the whole SNL Conehead thing was pretty popular.

Dazed and Confused (1993)
A toned-down version of Pulp Fiction. I considered it to be a showcase of drug use, although it wasn’t as “hard-core” as the Pulp Fiction display. Pulp Fiction also had a string of interconnected stories, while this movie almost didn’t have a single one at all. It gave a fresh…

Demolition Man (1993)
I think it’s pretty accurate to compare this movie to Speed. Both movies exhibit the same “why the hell is so much money being used on a plot like this” or “if they’re spending so much damn money on a plot like this, why can’t the acting and realism be…

Fallen Champ: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson (1993)
Is he a rapist or a boxer? A film about the sex life, not the boxing ability, of Mike Tyson. It’s as if the filmmakers intended to destroy Mike’s image. Mike wasn’t there to defend himself. In a biography, I’ve always thought, if you don’t have anything nice to say,…

Farewell My Concubine (1993)
An insightful Chinese story, complete with American courtroom drama and vicious child-beating. Over two hours is a bit long for such a slow-moving story as this one. I think it would have been better if it had been shorter. The vibrant colors and great sound were very pleasing.

In the Name of the Father (1993)
Lewis is pretty good. Postlethwaite’s got a cool look. So did the bomber. He just looked evil and smart, like villains should. It’s nice to see Emma Thompson, but it’s almost distracting to see her in such a minor role. I would have liked to see much more of her.…

The Joy Luck Club (1993)
Instead of Four Rooms, it could be called “Four Chinese Flashbacks.” And they just get old. Each flashback is predictable and boring. You see them coming from miles away; they are not meshed with the present very well, cheesy dialogue or a cheesy stare or a cheesy camera technique always…
