Reality Bites B+ 3/4 10:45pm Seacaucus A movie supposedly about "Generation X" but not really, this stars Winona Ryder, as the valedictorian-turned-real-life-failure, who has to deal with having her teenybopper values fall apart and dealing with romance on an immature level. But hey, what else would you expect? Actually, this movie is basically a take on the MTV series "Real Life", and very obviously so, especially as it poses here and there, trying to celebrate "icons" of our generation, but missing the mark several times (I'm sorry, but our generation did NOT grow up on Peter Frampton. That was the previous guys.) and basically failing in its attempt. However, as a movie, it's pretty interesting. The Chase A- 3/5 9:30pm Times Square Any movie with Charlie Sheen in it just has to be good, of course. This movie is one long car chase... really. Okay, maybe 5 minutes at the beginning and end are outside a car. This movie is inspired by the high speed pursuit that was caught on TV by helicopter newscrews in LA one or two years ago. But of course, it's far zanier than that. Sheen plays an angstful young man who's been screwed by the system and has chosen to run instead of continue fighting. This is one is full of laughs and exploding cars, and would be better if they could have wrapped the ending a little more tightly. But hey, it's just a movie, right? Schindler's List B 3/9 8:30pm Secaucus This is a long movie, over three hours long, a dazzling celebration of suffering. For those of you who thought the miniseries "Holocaust" wasn't enough, well, you can get more doses of human abuse here. Other than that, the story about Schindler its pretty interesting, but really drawn out. Is this movie even worth watching? Well, with all the hype, you may feel like you need to see it. But there's no surprises in the film; it's exactly what you expect. Greedy B+ 3/11 10:15pm Paramus Kirk Douglas plays an old rich man who's trying to determine who to leave his vast fortune to. All his nephews and nieces are real bastards, though, which makes choosing difficult. Then Michael J. Fox comes on the scene, as the long-lost grandnephew, who is supposed to charm the old man and split the fortune... but once he realizes what bastards everyone is, he refuses to play along. Meanwhile, a sexy nurse is trying to please him, too. Everyone's greedy... the movie is good for laughs, but it's a little disjointed in places, and doesn't flow smoothly. It could have been better. It does have a lot of good jokes, though. The Ref A- 3/17 10:30pm Seacaucus Dennis Leary plays an expert burglar on the run from police, who needs to kill a few hours while his partner acquires transportation for their escape. So, he kidnaps this couple who are having severe marriage problems, and the movie goes on about their problems, with Leary acting as referee. It's quite funny, much as one would expect from Leary's routines. Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult A 3/18 11pm Paramus The third movie for Naked Gun, Leslie Nielsen returns in his role, but this time he is now a retired police detective, who is drawn out of retirement to solve a 'big' case. Great gags on the Academy Awards show, spoofs of several films, including one great one from the Untouchables at the beginning. If you liked Naked Gun and Airplane... Lightning Jack B+ 3/20 7:20pm Times Square Paul Hogan returns as an australian dressed like Crocodile Dundee with indian charms all over his body, in a late 19th century setting in wild west, where he's trying to become a famous bank robber. In the process he acquires a companion a young, mute, black man who has recently quit his miserable job at the grocer. Even though he can not speak, he manages to communicate very effectively, far better than that woman in the dull movie "Piano". Anyway, it's good for laughs and you'll have a good time. The Hudsucker Proxy A+ 3/26 5pm Seacaucus Tim Robbins stars as a mailroom employee who is suddenly made president, because the previous president recently left the company and the company's stock is up for grabs. Well, anyway, it's a cinematographic masterpiece, with low soaring shots much like "Brazil". The setting is late 50's NYC, a thriving, sunny metropolis with strikingly gothic overtones. If the pacing of the first hour could have been carried all the way through the film, it would have been once of the best films ever, but it gets a bit choppy and loses its Brazil-like feeling here and there. But this is definitely a contender; worth seeing more than once. You've just got to see this film! The Paper B- 3/27 7:15pm Paramus This is a story about a tabloid newspaper in NYC that is trying to outscoop the New York Post and others, because the day before, they totally missed a critical story that everyone else got. It stars Michael Keaton as an editor who has to decide between his career, switching to a more prosperous newspaper, and caring for his wife who is going psycho 'cuz she's expecting a baby momentarily. Overall, the movie is cluttered, the character development happens on a piecemeal basis, and there is little to truly love about the movie. It's not bad, there's just nothing outstanding about it.
