 Parker Posey and
Josh Hamilton play twins with an unholy alliance in this dark comedy by Mark Waters.
Freddie Prinze Jr., plays their younger brother - obsessed with his brother's fiancée,
played by Tori Spelling. It's very strange, but perversely entertaining.
A passable piece of silliness
with Scott "Carrot Top" Thompson as a surfer dude inventor who happens upon a
fortune and must live with the consequences. Follows a totally predictable formula, but
it's reasonably good fun all the same.
You guessed it. Oscar and
Felix are back and the biggest surprise is that it's actually pretty enjoyable. Jack
Lemmon and Walter Matthau return and manage to rise above the bad jokes and a few
embarrassing scenes.
Everyone fights; no one
quits. Johnny Rico and the Starship Troopers war against the deadly bugs of
Klendathu in this ultra-violent sci-fi satire. This is adrenaline-pumping entertainment
from Paul Verhoeven, director of Robocop and Total Recall.
Kevin Costner is a
post-apocalyptic drifter who's transformed into the leader of a band of letter carriers
intent on rebuilding civilisation. The premise is a stretch and so is the excessive length
of this film. Only Costner fans need attend. |

A has-been bowler coaches an
Amish dolt to win a million dollar competition. Fails miserably despite a star-filled cast
that gave it great comedy potential. From the directors of Dumb and Dumber.
Starring Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid.
There’s action galore as
Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage breaking into Alcatraz Island to put an end to a rebel
Marine general’s hostage taking. The three stars are good, but the film’s
complete lack of restraint ultimately leads to disappointment.
Jon Voight gives a strong
performance as a Chicago back-room operator who re-thinks his life after a nasty accident.
Unfortunately, the rest of the film isn't up to Voight's standard, so the overall
experience is less than satisfying.
 A movie that can't decide whether it's
a fascinating exploration of the thoughts and dreams of prisoners or a standard action
film about an evil prison guard pursuing an escapee. The first is worthwhile and the
second definitely isn't.
Another instalment in the
Leatherface series. Fellow Texans, apple faced Renée Zellweger and brawny Matthew
McConaughey, are victim and psychopath respectively. This 'massacre' is a confusing,
pointless but sometimes suspenseful cat-and-mouse horror flick sans horror. Inbreds will
love this.
