Mr. Nice Guy (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Jackie is just so darn goofy. Same appeal as Schwarzenegger, I think. That chick’s athleticism was awesome. I have been waiting a long time for a truly athletic and beautiful chick to make it big in Hollywood action movies. Could she be the one? Lots of 80’s elements. The slo-mo…

Operation Condor (1991)

Jackie Chan meets Indiana Jones. Some good moves and some cheesy dubbing, typical of these movies.

Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi [Special Edition] (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

It was nice too see some real drama in this film after putting up with the stretched out and remarkably thin plots of the first two films. It is in this film that everything comes together and makes the Star Wars saga a real story. This film also has flavor…

Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Funny! Sorvino, Kudrow, and Garafalo were all great.

Seven Years in Tibet (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

The story is jumbled and uninteresting. The only semi-emotional moment in what I thought was supposed to be an emotional movie was when he presents his child with the musicbox. Too long. If the story had been good, I might have thought differently. Pitt uses his customary soft-spoken, indirect delivery.…

Star Wars [Special Edition] (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Films are now able to be electronically perfected two decades after their original production, and we have taken the first steps toward the point when movies can be digitally manufactured from the beginning. A huge step in filmmaking, and a saddening loss of tradition and accountability. The film’s attraction lies…

Starship Troopers (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

I can’t believe how much gore and sex is in this movie. It’s hilarious. Was it meant to be funny? Will anyone ever make a serious space monster movie? The story is crap. There was a hint of real feeling there for a few moments, but horrible character writing overall.…

Titanic (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

For once, technology and spectacle are not at the center of a Cameron movie. It’s a heart-warming love story. Whether or not it’s a happy, affirming story or sad, depressing story is an interesting debate. I think it’s a happy story. Now a DiCaprio fan, after What’s Eating Gilbert Grape…

U Turn (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Whimsical and fun characters, shots, editing, and music. Some really great comedy from great acting and writing. The style matches the content perfectly. Well done. A smaller and sillier Stone film, rather than the huge, historical, social commentaries he has been doing. Probably my favorite Stone film because the whimsical…

Vegas Vacation (1997)

Reviewed on Dec 31, 1969

Pretty much on par with National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Both films suffered from MCS (Modern Comedy Syndrome). Bad writing, overacting, edging toward slapstick, too many close-ups and too much editing. In short, none of the subtleties that made Chevy and his Vacation films of the 1980’s so good. People like…
