Jacqueline Kim

Gorden Kaye, Carmen Silvera

Elektra / Wea, 1991

A great comp. from when Metallica was still good.
In the early '90s I had an umpteenth-generation dubbed VHS copy of this and a friend of mine and I watched it nearly every single day. The videotape squeaked and never wanted to rewind fully. The sound quality deteriorated until you could only tell what song they were ...

Heavy Traffic

Lillian Adams, Beverly Hope Atkinson

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

A little bit o' personal history...
Heavy Traffic will likely never receive the attention or respect it deserves as a piece of honest to goodness Americana. Like most of Ralph Bakshi's most personal work, it is rough hewn, obscene (though never pornogaphic) outrageous and damn honest. Along with Coonskin ...

Sex Lies & Politics (Unrated)

Kevin E. West, John Lazar

New Concorde, 2003

Turn On the Sequal of the Sequal
Do you remember the movie back in 1989, "The Turn On," when a mad scientist uses a special remote control to turn on women? I'm sure some of you remember. After eleven years later another sequal came out called, "The Ultimate Attraction." "Sex, Lies, and Politics" is ...

Grizzly Mountain

Dan Haggerty, Dylan Haggerty (II)

Live / Artisan, 1998

Good family entertainment...
This movie would definitely not be recommended for any academy awards--and that's why I give it only 4 stars. But, this is good family entertainment, especially if you have young kids. It's a kind of adventure that children fantasize about. Even though the acting ...

Disclosure

Michael Douglas, Demi Moore

Warner Home Video, 1998

Another brilliant thriller from Hollyweird.
Disclosure is basically a movie about sexual harassment. For once, it's the male who's being harassed. Yes people, it does happen in real life. It makes the story more compelling than if it had been the usual "damsel in distress" kind of movie. Not that I'm trying ...

Donovan's Reef

John Wayne, Lee Marvin

Paramount, 1990

NOT A GREAT MOVIE, JUST ONE OF THE BEST EVER!!!
Save the critical eye, ear and mind for the 20th viewing of this story. It is a multiple love story, POSSIBLY with the greatest love story involving a dead South Pacific princess and her still-devoted husband. There is the polygamous masculine love story of "The ...

Of Human Bondage (1964)

Terry Clinton, Martin Crosbie

MGM (Warner), 1998

Searing Portrait of Obsession
Yes, this novel was adapted into an earlier Bette Davis version. Yes, that version has a loyal following. But this film deserves a fair shake. On its own terms, it is a realistic, gritty portrait of obsession. Laurence Harvey is always believable and Kim Novak is ...

Star Trek Generations

Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes

Paramount, 1996

Star Trek goes 'Blade Runner'. A stunning masterpiece.
It may be that I am in the very minority of people if I state that Star Trek Generations is far and away the best of the Next Gen films and one of the best of the overall series. I may be in the minority to talk about its philosophical themes that are all over the ...

Bikini Med School

Kim Dawson, Konstantine Greco

Vista Street Entertainment/Etd, 1998

This film should be quarantined
Obviously, it is just far too easy for anyone to pick up a camera, shoot some video, and call the thing a movie. Bikini Med School is absolutely pointless, annoying, and insufferable. All of the action takes place at some kind of frat house at a medical school ...

Addicted to Love

Meg Ryan, Matthew Broderick

Warner Home Video, 1998

There's no way to talk yourself out of 'dumped.'
As the title of this review indicates, this is one of the lessons they don't teach in school, and this is precisely what the film explores. Once the realization has been made that there is no way to return to the way things were, then the anger sets in, and in the case ...

Star Trek: Generations

Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes

Star Trek goes 'Blade Runner'. A stunning masterpiece.
It may be that I am in the very minority of people if I state that Star Trek Generations is far and away the best of the Next Gen films and one of the best of the overall series. I may be in the minority to talk about its philosophical themes that are all over the ...

Star Trek Generations (Widescreen Edition)

Brokedown Palace

Claire Danes, Kate Beckinsale

20th Century Fox, 2000

IF YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SMUGGLING DRUGS.....
IF YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SMUGGLING DRUGS FOR A LIVING, THIS SHOULD CAUSE YOU TO REEXAMINE THAT DECISION. WELL ACTED AND PRESENTED. SORT OF A FEMALE VERSION OF 'MIDNIGHT RUN'.

Hollywood Sign

Tom Berenger, Jacqueline Kim

Studio / Sterling, 2002

Flawed, but still entertaining and quite funny in parts.
If I could give this 3 1/2 stars, I probably would. It was flawed--the plot was far-fetched, and our main characters make some nonsensical or dumb decisions at times. But I still found myself laughing at quite a lot of scenes in this movie. Three washed-out actors ...

Trauma

Christopher Rydell, Asia Argento

Lions Gate/Worldvision, 1995

Bellissimo.
My four star rating is only in comparison to Argentos previous work, this still destroy's mostly anything else that does'nt have Agento's name on it. Trauma walks a fine line between 'classic' Argento and a failure to live up to his previous standards. If you compare ...
