Mini-Review: Schwarzenegger captures the essence of a lumbering, semi-literate, brutish, dim-witted oaf, almost as if he were always meant for politics.
Mini-Review: Not nearly as fun or entertaining as people make it out to be. If you're really in the mood for Newman and Redford, watch "The Sting" instead.
Mini-Review: To think, if they just cut some of that special effects budget and hired a decent writer, this could've been avoided.
Mini-Review: It's almost as if someone decided to remake "It's a Mad, Mad , Mad , Mad World" as a comedy.
Mini-Review: Add equal portions "Vertigo", "Rear Window" and "Frenzy", stir gently with an electric drill, adding porn to taste. Serve in Melanie griffith's half-baked skull.
Mini-Review: Something about this kept reminding me of "Six Day, Seven Nights". Maybe it's the cynically seasoned male lead and the quirky fish-out-of-water woman or the romance which is subtly brewing between them. Maybe it's the exotic locales and life threatening adventures that ultimately bring the two together. Most likely it's the fact that I accidentally put it in the case for "Six Days Seven Nights" last time I watched it.
Mini-Review: Dear Disney, In lieu of recent creative trends within your studio, I would suggest a change in your logo as well, reflecting your updated image. The new logo should feature Walt, in silhouette, hoisting up a famous person from history (Kipling, Verne, Hugo, etc) while simultaneously kicking that person in the jimmies and jovially pulling cash from their throats. I have created a series of storyboards to better depict this. Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you for your time, Spleen
Mini-Review: Filmed in Can-Cer-Round, this little gem features more onscreen smoking than any movie that didn't include the word "reefer" in the title. Still, I miss the 70s and fondly reminisce about how cool it must've been to smoke in public, in the car, at church, in the office, in kindergarten, anywhere.
Mini-Review: Psychotic nail gun assassin, oil slick killer, attempted murders by typewriter and oscillating fan. WTH? I'd like a little wine with my cheese, please.
Mini-Review: Despite the psychology at work here being about as deep as a pothole and Louise Latham's hilarious pre-Slingblade accent, Marnie still entertains mostly due to Tippi Hedren's remarkable performance. Not top-form Hitchcock but still better than Topaz or Torn Curtain.
