DANCE WITH ME REVIEW (1998) VANESSA WILLIAMS While the results aren't quite as satisfying, thanks to some hot dancing and hotter Latin music, the film does touch all of the right bases to end up being a worthwhile offering for those who love dance films. Like most films revolving around the world of dance, the pace of the film sags when the drama takes center stage, and that's certainly

SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER (1993) Based on a true story, Josh Waitzkin is a 7-year-old boy who becomes fascinated by the game of chess after watching the locals play speed chess in a New York park. After picking up THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (1956) The Man Who Knew Too Much is one of the rare instances of a director remaking one of his own earlier works. This 1956 release is the better known of the two, with the original having been made in England in 1934. While some critics and Alfred Hitchcock (The Trouble with Harry, To Catch a Thief) fans (particularly of his early British film work) champion the earlier film, this Hollywood version THE SLUGGER'S WIFE (1985) It could have been and should have been, a much better film than it actually is. Marred by lots of problems in production behind the scenes, The Slugger’s Wife is a case of “too many cooks” spoiling the broth, as veteran director Hal Ashby had trouble working with the script by famed playwright Neil Simon to the detriment of the overall story.

It has impressive stunt work, with an exciting, high-speed desert chase scene culminating in a fantastic multi-car crash scenario that eschews CGI. As the film is set mostly in the desert, the budget is relatively low, but

MPAA Rated: Not rated, but probably PG for violence Running Time: 100 min. Cast: O.J. Simpson, Arte Johnson, Randall Carver LETHAL WEAPON (1987) Setting the standard for cop buddy movies for years to come, Lethal Weapon may not have revolutionized the genre, but definitely proves to be an exceptionally efficient example of how the formula can work when the star chemistry is just right. Mixing hard-boiled action, cheeky comedy, serious drama, and gritty camerawork, director Richard Donner blends just the right elements together for a TRUE ROMANCE (1993)
A young comicbook dealer (Slater, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) falls in love and marries a young call girl (Arquette, Holy Matrimony) after killing her pimp. Unfortunately, he decides to steal a half million dollars worth of cocaine from his place before leaving and now they has some seriously determined and ruthless gangsters after them. Skip to content
