Go Fish B- 7/1 8pm Greenwich Village This is a black and white "artsy" film about lesbians. About this one young, hot-lookin' babe who wants her Very Own lesbian relationship, and how her dyke friends hook her up with this other dyke, and what dykes go through in their lives. One gets the feeling, from the film, that lesbians only do two things in life; lust after women, and whine about how rough being a lesbian is. Blown Away C 7/3 12:15am Greenwich Village This is the summer's second "mad bomber" film, and that's one too many. Speed was much, much better; this one can't compare. The story is confusing, the pacing is awkward, and the suspense is totally absurd poorly done in places. A very unbalanced film. Little Big League C- 7/10 8:15pm Secaucus Boy's grandpa dies and leaves him the Minnesota Twins, so the kid, being twelve, decides to become the general manager of the team. Okay, so the filmmakers here were trying to do a Disney flick but it's not Disney, no sir. Meanwhile, the kid's mother is holding him back and preventing him from really having fun. Yeah, like we all want to be reminded of our childhoods... she embarasses him in public, too. More than once. Oh, there are a few funny scenes, it's not a total disaster, but I'm willing to bet the other baseball movies are better. True Lies A+ 7/15 9pm Paramus Simply an outstanding action/adventure, True Lies lives up to the hype. James Cameron directs, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Arnold, and Jamie Lee Curtis star in this fast-paced explosive event about a man who works for a super-secret government espionage agency, so secret that even his wife has no clue what he really does for a living. There is also a subplot dealing with themes of the lies married couples tell each other. Also, it has outstanding special effects and stunts. It's like a James Bond film, but of course they don't make Bond films anymore... Angels in the Outfield B 7/16 7:45pm Secaucus Okay, here's a baseball movie that *is* a Disney flick. Better special effects, better fantasy, better storyline, and yet still predictable. This is the story about a boy who is abandoned by his father who, when asked when he'll return, replies sarcastically, "when the Angels win the pennant". Two problems with this: the Angels are in last place, and the father has given up the boy to the state so he can be adopted by a real family (apparently the mother's dead and the father's too much of a loser to raise a son properly). So these angels help the boy help the Angels win the pennant, and so on. Forrest Gump A+ 7/22 10pm Times Square I know what you're thinking... first Tom Hanks plays a social defective (Sleepless in Seattle) and then a physical defective (Philadelphia) and now a mental defective... what next, Tom Hanks in a wheelchair, drooling for two hours? Anyway, Forrest Gump is the story of one man's life, how he goes from being a mentally retarded (just barely below the accepted norm, rather) boy to being an awesome runner, football player, war hero, ping-pong star, and successful businessman. Most of it seems like dumb luck, weird twists of fate. Forrest Gump has many encounters with major historical events, but this is all shadowed by his childhood sweetheart, Jenny, who he keeps seeing and who keeps leaving him. Even tho' she's of normal intelligence, her life turns out to be a real fucking mess. The movies is funny, sad, exciting and sober; you'll laugh and cry and it will become a part of you and it will collect Oscars. The only odd thing to note is that 'Gump' sounds almost like 'Garp'. North B 7/27 8pm Secaucus A story about a kid who decides to divorce his parents and tries to find better parents. But the judge gave him a limited amount of time to do it, most of which is wasted walking across Alaska... so he only meets a few potential parents. If you've seen the previews, you've seen the movie, there's not much more to it, it's extremely predictable. Funny in places, stupid in others... and Elijah Wood is too much of a pretty boy for his own damn good. But still, it's quite a cast for all the potential parents, which leads to many fun scenes. It Could Happen To You F 7/30 10pm Secaucus Goody twoshoes police officer wins the lottery and gives half of it to this waitress and his wife gets pissed at him and the waitress's asshole husband who's she's been trying to divorce comes back and aw, fuckit. Avoid, avoid, avoid. I walked out during the film, completely disguested.
