Boogie Nights
(1997)
|
Brian Webster

Anderson has successfully walked a whole series of tightropes -- including his efforts to placate American censors -- and the result is a funny, troubling and fascinating film.

Apocalypse Now Redux

Occasionally flaccid, incomprehensible and obtuse. Yet, it manages to overcome these flaws to stand as a fascinating study of the nature of evil in man.

Good, flashy visuals, but writer/ director Eric Schwab still has a long way to go in applying a strong story with characters that matter.

The experience of spending time with the 'Homicide' team is so pleasurable that it's disappointing to be reminded of the stringent requirements of "plot" and "resolution."
