Affliction (1997) Starring: Nick Nolte, James Coburn, Sissy Spacek Director: Paul Schrader Plot: A murder may have occurred in a small rural community. Nick Nolte plays a small town sheriff determined to find the culprit and bring him to justice. As events in his life turn sour and his paranoia grows, he soon alienates all the people around him. Review: A heart-wrenching portrayal of a man belittled by, and still coming to terms with, his father's abusive behavior. Excellent cast, well shot and well paced with a great script based on the novel by Russell Banks. Drama: 9/10 |

Alien (1979) Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skeritt, Ian Holm Director: Ridley Scott Plot: A deep space cargo vessel is dispatched to answer an alien distress signal. Upon investigating, the crew unwittingly bring back on board a creature that starts preying on them. Review: Seeing this movie again after more than 10 years shows that parts of it have aged well (the effects are still impressive, the script is suspenseful, the acting quite good), and other parts have not (the pacing is slow, the "horror" and gore scenes tame by today's standards). Still, high production values and a good script, combined with Ridley Scott's keen directorial sense, make this film a milestone in both the science-fiction and horror genre. (For a slightly academic take on the film, check out my essay on Modern Horror in Science Fiction written a while back.) Entertainment: 8/10 |

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) Starring: Mike Myers, Heather Graham Director: Jay Roach If you've seen the first Austin Powers, then you have an idea of what to expect. Dr. Evil takes the spotlight in this one, and all his lines are hysterical. On the plus side, this one is funnier, faster paced, and has higher production values than the first. On the negative side, it's no longer original, some of the jokes are flat (maybe due to the fact that we've all seen the preview too many times!), and there are too many (unnecessary, and usually unfunny) "body-fluid" jokes. Not for everyone, but if you know what to expect, it's decent comedy. Comedy: 7/10 Entertainment: 6/10 |
