Wild Things

What a waste of talent for Kevin Bacon and Theresa Russell, especially for the former who co-produced this would-be thriller. Actually, the story is quite good, the twists are up to a point totally unexpected (till you realise that the twists will go on till no one immediately involved in the story will remain alive) and Matt Dillon is for once acting surprisingly well.

The X Files

Neither better, nor worse than the TV series. Maybe a bit more action, but that's it. If you are the series fan, you'll love it! Not more than 5 out of 10 for me though.

Very Bad Things

A very good cast (Jon Favreau, Leland Orser, Cameron Diaz, Christian Slater, Rob Brownstein, Jeremy Piven, Daniel Stern, Jeanne Tripplehorn) delivers very good performances. I didn't expect it to be so good, seeing the cinema trailers and reading about the plot. I thought it would be just another brutal tarantino'esque stupidity, still I was surprised by its sincere cynicism and irony, it's unique black humor and it's realistic approach of a really 'difficult' situation. Full credits to Peter Berg who wrote directed the story so courageously! A definite 7/10!

Psycho

What a disgrace! I am a fan of Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting (1997), To Die for (1995), Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1993), My Own Private Idaho (1991), Drugstore Cowboy (1989) amongst others), but I certainly don't consider him equal to the Master himself, and this film is a sacrilege to the original of Alfred Hitchcock in 1960 with A. Perkins. No matter how hard Vince Vaughn tries (and he is admittedly very good), he cannot match Perkins's performance. Rumours say that Van Sant shot the whole film scene by scene, trying to copy the original work of the Master. I couldn't really tell watching the 1998 version, but it seems like that. Anne Heche is as bad as ever. A mere 4/10.

Meet Joe Black

What can one say about 2 very good actors of very different backgrounds meeting on a set of a 'theatrical play' and competing each other delivering the very essence of theatre and, why not, cinema ??? I was mesmerised throughout the film by the performances of both Brad Pitt and A. Hopkins, so much that I noticed how long the film is (more than 3 hours) only after it finished by looking at my watch! Martin Brest (Scent of a Woman (1992), Midnight Run (1988), Beverly Hills Cop (1984) amongst others) is not new to the 'theatrical play' genre, after Scent of a Woman (1992).Look out for Claire Forlani, she's magnificent! A celebrated 8/10!

The Mask of Zorro

Thank God Hopkins is in the film as the first, true Zorro, because the copycat of Banderas can never match his class (in celluloid of real life). The film is a very good adventure, nonetheless there is nothing more to it than ever lasting action and a few good one liners. Martin Campbell had a good practice directing action films at GoldenEye (1995). For the fun of it, 6/10.
