First Strike (1996)
A lot of fun to watch. The choreography is simply amazing, and the music and fantastic photography of the action makes it even better. And Jackie is hilarious. His fantastic sense of humor is what makes the movie. His comedy has it all: the goofy physicality, his goofy expressions, his…

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Basically a cross between Natural Born Killers and The Lost Boys. I had a great time watching this movie, and I bet Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino had a great time making it. You could definitely see the influence of both Rodriguez and Tarantino in the action and casting. Clooney…

The Funeral (1996)
A rip-off of The Godfather and not different enough from it to be interesting. The Tarantino time jumps aren’t too clear. And a crazy, Tarantino-ish death scene at the end, which is kind of shocking but could have been much better if the story had been more appealing and built…

Heaven’s Prisoners (1996)
Good cinematography, but it just seems like that isn’t enough happening in the story. Hind of slow, especially for a movie this long. Masterson is very pretty. Hatcher has saggy breasts.

Independence Day (1996)
An awful lot of hype. In an attempt to be the king of all movies, they mix genres (romance, sci-fi, and drama). It fails miserably. Kinda fun to watch. Amazing effects. I’m surprised that a big movie like this (one that deals with aliens at least semi-seriously) hadn’t really been…

Jerry Maguire (1996)
A few funny moments. Cruise is good. The Katy girl is good, and the kid is great. Preston is hot. The football footage is surprisingly good. If anything, a tad long.

Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
Mmm. Want a cold one? Don’t bring the kiddies. Weird story about weird people. It had some Gus Van Sant flavor to it, only there weren’t any gay people. I think the director was drunk when he made the movie. Nicolas Cage was great, but I don’t know about the…

Mars Attacks! (1996)
The comedy is trash. But Burton has a neat visual style, and a few moments are truly freaky/gross. Saw some The Day the Earth Stood Still and some The War of the Worlds. All the quality actors who appeared in this film should be shot.

Mission: Impossible (1996)
I walked into this movie with really high expectations, thanks to the fantastic preview, the great pre-released music, and comments from my friends. Did it deliver? Not really. It was pretty good, but I had such high (and unrealistic) expectations for it that I was a bit disappointed. With the…

The Nutty Professor (1996)
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde modernized to accomodate modern social issues (physical perfection), strung together with a Superman revelation of true identity at the end. The film is morally immaculate, almost as if the studio said “let’s make a film where fat people tell the public that being fat is…
