Four Weddings and a Funeral

Well, this is your average "feel-good" movie, but I dunno, it didn't
hit any of my tender spots, and I didn't cry.  I lauged in places, but
it wasn't really all that funny.  It's about, well, four weddings and
a funeral, and a bunch of friends who go to all of these, and it's about
marriage, and what brings it about, but it isn't realistic, nor does it
feel real.  As for being a fantasy, then, it's not all that unordinary,
either, so...

Joe Pesci and Christain Slater are two very good actors, but the roles
they play here are lame, lame, lame.  The movie lives up to none of
the hype.  It's just an ordinary flick.  Pesci plays a struggling
actor who's never really had an acting career, trying desperately to
find work.  So, he makes up "Jericho", a vigilante, and makes news with
it, putting himself on TV.  The line between acting as a vigilante and
being a vigilante gets crossed, however.  Slater plays his idiot sidekick
who has very few brain cells left, making his lines dull and boring.

Cops and Robbersons

This is the story about a totally psycho family who just happen to
be living next door to house that's been recently rented by a criminal.
The police send Jack Palance and a younger officer to stake out the place,
based in the family's youngest son's bedroom.  The youngest son, unfortunately,
being 6 or so, think he is a vampire.  The housewife is an extreme housewife,
and goes overboard on being the perfect housewife.  Chevy Chase plays the
total failure of a father, and there is the older son who is starting smoke,
and cute sister who's a senior in HS and who falls in love with younger
police officer.  The characterization in this movie is incredible!  The
only weak point in the whole thing is Chase, who just doesn't have what
it takes any more.  Anyway, you'll laugh.

Surviving the Game

Ice-T plays the good guy and Rutger Hauer plays the bad guy.  The plot
goes, homeless man acquires job as a "wilderness guide", but once in 
central america it turns out he's hunted game to a gang of psycho rich
white men.  They chase him around the wilderness, and Ice-T fights back.
Only problem is, Ice-T doesn't carry the necessary machismo needed in
a tough-guy kill-'em-all type of flick, so it just kinda goes.

Threesome

This is the story of two guys and a girl who end up sharing a suite
in a college dorm due to an improbable screwup.  One guy is your typical
jock-type who lusts after the girl who is your typical resistant type.
However, she is lusting after the other guy, who is your typical guy
who's questioning his own sexuality.  I felt it was all very realistic,
and reminded me a lot of how things usually go in college, particularly
there being more guys than girls, and the guys having to make some sort
of deviant compromise in order to get laid.  Plus, the film gives the
subject a good treatment without getting tacky, which is a great
accomplishment.  Unfortunately, no full frontal nudity.

Bad Girls

Four whores go on a series of wild west adventures.  Kinda like a
Thelma & Louise except that I was able to understand this one.  Thelma
& Louise didn't make any sense at all.  But this movie moved better,
and wasn't overly absurd.  Maybe it was the setting, one expects a
certain level of violence and lawlessness in a western.  But no real
outstanding performances were made.

Ray Liotta stars as a prisoner who gets dumped on a prison island
in the year 2022.  The plot is simple; the island is divided into
two groups, good prisoners and evil prisoners, and he ends up saving
the good guys from the bad guys while trying to find a way off the
island.  The pacing is good, very action-packed, and the characters
are both thrilling and humorous.  The scenery is beautiful, too.
This all makes for a very exciting flick, with none of the triteness
and bogosity that ruins most films of this genre.
