Waterworld
- 
Reasonable action fare. Interesting premise works well at times, but it seems as if the writers just didn’t think things through (i.e. why would consumables still be around several hundred years after the world was flooded?) Costner and Hopper give … Continue reading

The Net
-
The most blatant anti-technology screed since Terminator 2, unfortunately it does not pack the same wallop. The terror and suspense it attempts to generate are countered by the far-fetchedness of the situation it thrusts the heroine into.
Clueless
-
Fun, updated version of Emma satirizes the lives of the rich high school dwellers at Beverly Hills High. Alicia Silverstone stars as Cher, the most popular girl in school. She and her friend, Dionne, begin a series of good-natured “projects”, … Continue reading

-

-

Nine Months
-
Thoroughly predictable fare about the bumbling father and radiant mother handling an unexpected pregnancy. Succeeds best when it goes for all-out slapstick farce…falters when it tries for character introspection (the characters are too shallow for it to work).
Species
-
Starts out great, but the initial intelligence and suspense gives way to every possible horror movie cliche imaginable. A waste of a good beginning, a good idea, and a good cast.
First Knight
-
Colorful, but ultimately disappointing version of the King Arthur legend. Jettisonned are all but the three main characters (Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot), as well as most of the magic of the original story. What remains is a standard action story … Continue reading
