(1958)

Face/Off (1997)

Publish Date: June 27, 1997
"A delirious mixture of spectacular gun battles, furious explosions and breathtaking stunt work (...) You have to take your hat off to Paramount Studios for allowing such inspired weirdness to see the light of day."

The Washington Post
The Saint (1997)

Publish Date: April 4, 1997
"[Noyce] keeps things moving at a kinetic, involving pace. And writers Jonathan Hensleigh (...) and Wesley Strick create a diverting human steeplechase"

The Washington Post
The Devil's Own (1997)

Publish Date: March 28, 1997
"Epically awful (...) It evokes everything that is wrong with Hollywood, from the industry’s obsession with casting to its inability to differentiate good scripts from bad."

The Washington Post
The Godfather (1972)

Publish Date: March 21, 1997
"A great American picture, full of incredible images and lasting moments"

The Washington Post
Crash (1996)

Publish Date: March 21, 1997
"[It] doesn't extend beyond its most immediate sensationalism. When the movie does attempt to find a theme, it slams into a brick wall of mumbo-jumbo."

The Washington Post
A Judgement in Stone (1995)

Publish Date: January 10, 1997
"[It] builds towards a stunning, jarring conclusion that puts everything you have seen in a chilly new perspective (...) Bonnaire and Huppert are unnerving and fascinating to watch together."

The Washington Post
101 Dalmatians (1996)

Publish Date: November 27, 1996
"[It] is energetic, all right. It has a passel of adorable pooches (...) But there isn't a trace of magic to be found in the production."

The Washington Post
Breaking the Waves (1996)

Publish Date: November 22, 1996
"Although it contains many visually compelling passages and some provocative moments, the movie is strangely banal and simplistic."

The Washington Post
The English Patient (1996)

Publish Date: November 22, 1996
"Awash in heart-rending emotions and gorgeous images, this is a movie to lose yourself in (...) Every gesture between the lovers feels graceful, luxurious and textured."

The Washington Post
The Funeral (1996)

Publish Date: November 8, 1996
"Ferrara and his writing partner Nicholas St. John, who also made "King of New York," "The Bad Lieutenant" and "The Addiction," are interested in deeper issues than mere revenge. (...) You’re engaged on a moral level rarely found in movies about violence."

The Washington Post
Ransom (1996)

Publish Date: November 8, 1996
"[You will] be thrilled, charged up and put through the ringer at times, but your intelligence will need to be shoved under your seat like warm, flat soda."

The Washington Post
Vertigo (1958)

Publish Date: October 11, 1996
"Do yourself an aesthetic favor: Take the plunge"

The Washington Post
Escape from L.A. (1996)

Publish Date: August 9, 1996
"Compared to 'Escape From New York', the weapons are bigger and the violence is more extensive (...) But [it] is more enjoyable in a playful way. "

The Washington Post
The Rock (1996)

Publish Date: June 7, 1996
"The cliches pile up like rubble (...) [Bay] deserves special mention for his production team's nauseating close-up shots, annoyingly frenetic editing and bevy of tedious familiarities"

The Washington Post
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)

Publish Date: May 31, 1996
"[It] never feels constricting or clumsy, thanks to Michel Legrand's lilting, dynamic score, the movie's vivid colors and an unforgettable love story (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

The Washington Post
Mission: Impossible (1996)

Publish Date: May 24, 1996
"'Mission: Impossible' is exciting, smart and enormously enjoyable (...) The movie's also an exhilarating tribute to the computer"

The Washington Post
Dead Man (1995)

Publish Date: May 17, 1996
"An existential sitcom of a western full of deadpan humor, a sort of unhurried, art-house pace and some of the strangest characters ever seen"

The Washington Post
Fargo (1996)

Publish Date: March 8, 1996
"[It] works like a charm. A really weird charm (...) [An] amusing, absorbing-but violent-story"

The Washington Post
Bottle Rocket (1996)

Publish Date: February 23, 1996
"A hilarious, inventive and goofy breath of fresh air (...) Not only is the movie amusing, it's giddily romantic"

The Washington Post
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

Publish Date: January 19, 1996
"It's often witty, in a grotesque kind of way; and, by its own peculiar standards, it's occasionally inventive (...) [It] is gratuitously nasty"
