MAGNOLIA
Solid performances for a not-too-bad script and a pretty engaging plot and a fantastic
cinematic conclusion. Yeah... well worth 180 minutes or so.
MISSION TO MARS
Forget the hideous ending and the film makes for good Apollo 13 moments...
real smooschy and exciting with surprisingly little action and relevant special f/x.
Without a movie choice at hand? Try this one if you must.
BLAST FROM THE PAST
Still screening in France, this comedy has the 2 leads playing characters they do best-
Mr "Duh" and Miss "As-If". Surprising a blast, this flick has funny written all over the script, including the lines
of the supporting cast. Very very watchable and highly highly highly recommended for a video date pick.
PLAY IT TO THE BONE
A road trip with recollections forming the bulk of the mozzzzz....vie. How interesting can a dialogue between
Antonio as a boxer and Woody as a bozzzz... er. Night.
DINOSAUR
Yeah, yeah, great effects and a Titanic budget but beneath all that, its just a visual spectacle...
so good old corny children's movies' lines and voila... Dinosaur. Original indeed.
GLADIATOR
Yeah... grandeur of setting, era and mood is encapsulated in this thrilling film with gore to spare
and action to spend. Russell is making headlines with another heroic performance in this epic. A genre
deeply lacking of late so no wonder it's a monstrous hit.
