In its own little universe, safely tucked away inside a dark theater, “Big Daddy” seems harmless enough. It is when the lights come up and the doors swing open that the film’s flaws become overwhelmingly apparent. Read the rest of this entry »

I used to raise tarantulas, so spiders really don’t give me the creeps. I’ve always believed in live and let live, and will more often than not try to move an indoor spider back outdoors instead of squashing it. Potato Bugs are another story. They give me the creeps. Honestly. So for me to thoroughly enjoy the giddy nature of “Arachnophobia,” the directing debut of producer Frank Marshall, I just envisioned the creepy crawlies in the film as Potato Bugs.

Even though it is set in the future, “Barbarella” the film is definitely encamped in the late 1960s. Based on the popular bestseller by Jean Claude Forest, “Barbarella” is so entrenched in the period that it was made that the film becomes nothing more than a curiosity piece. It is so outdated and silly that one wonders why John Waters hasn’t tried to remake it. Read the rest of this entry »

Like a rabid pit bull in heat, “The Big Lebowski” goes right for the jugular. It’s a ferociously funny comedy that dares to be different. It’s no surprise that this collage of calamity comes from Joel and Ethan Coen, the dynamic duo whose last film was “Fargo.” “The Big Lebowski” harkens back to the brother’s “Raising Arizona,” a wild, free-for-all comedy with a gallery of bizarre characters and dizzying cinematography.

BRIDE OF CHUCKY (R)

You can’t keep a good killer doll down. Just when you thought the “Chucky” franchise had worn down for the last time, the latest installment breathes new life into the formula. I mean, any film that kills John Ritter not once but twice has my vote for best film of the year (Next time John don’t be so rude to your fans). Read the rest of this entry »

After “Westworld” and “Coma,” writer-director Michael Crichton tackled this elaborate period piece about the great train robbery of England in 1855. Based on his best-selling novel which took extensive dramatic license, “The Great Train Robbery” tells the tale of three men who conspire to steal a gold shipment off a moving train destined for France.

Tom Cruise didn’t know it at the time, but “Top Gun” was the second film in the Tom Cruise-military uniform theory of success. It started with “Taps.” It continued with “Top Gun,” then “Born on the Fourth of July,” and finally “A Few Good Men.” Every time Cruise puts on a military uniform, he’s box office gold.
