MOST RECENT MOVIE: Journey to the Center of the Earth Okay, sure this is just a silly adaptation of a Jules Verne novel that is meant to appeal mostly to very young kids and show us all pretty 3-D visuals, but did it have to be SO BAD? Brendan Fraser and two others go to the center of the earth where they face dinosaurs and giant venus flytraps, but react as though it was all just so much inconvenience.
READ THIS REVIEW: Lost Souls The first film directed by Speilberg's favored cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski, seems like a film directed by a cinematographer: every visual trick in the book is trotted out, and everything looks very pretty, but no one bothered to check if there was any compelling movement to the story of purpose for this thing to exist at all. Winona Ryder has to warn Ben Chaplin that he's going to become the antichrist. But what is he, or anyone, supposed to DO about this? I'll tell ya what: a whole lotta nothin'.

CONTEMPLATE THIS ESSAY:
II Times the Superman II Richard Donner, director of the first film, was halfway through making the sequel when he was fired. Richard Lester made his own version, inserting a great deal of campy humor that set the stage for the ultimate degradation of the entire series. Here we make a close comparison of the original Lester version, and the vastly superior, recently-reconstructed Donner cut, which retains the tone and actors of the original film.

Cool As Ice This site can obviously not be considered a viable source of informed film criticism without including the ouevre of Vanilla Ice. He stars in this, "his FIRST motion picture," where he breaks, drops some funky lyrics, humps the heroine, woos the girl, unleashes his martial arts, and saves the kidnapped kid--all while wearing the stupidest outfits conceivable by mankind.
Family Romances Incest is one of everyone's favorite topics, so it's no surprise to find a number of movies that feature relationships that have either edged into full-on incest, or bubble with subtextual incest themes. And here's a bunch of them!
