    My Wife Is an Actress
    None of this quite gets off the ground, and I found myself wanting to bid farewell to Yvan and Charlotte quite a while before the final credits rolled. Not every wannabe Woody Allen is Woody Allen.

    The Return of Swamp Thing
    A mere action suspense adventure lacking the depths of the original. [14 July 1989]

    Piglet's Big Movie
    So it's a pretty faded experience. I suggest you get out the books, which for once can truly be said to be more spectacular than the movie.

    The Jerk
    Director Carl Reiner has put it together so that the character (hardly) ever becomes boring, and the Martin-Carl Gottlieb-Michael Elias screenplay has just enough genuinely witty moments to keep the story rolling past its flat parts. What more can anyone say? If you like Steve Martin, you'll love this movie. If you don't, you'll laugh sometimes but wish you'd gone elsewhere. [17 Dec 1979]

    Once Upon a Time in Mexico
    A clear case of huevos con hubris.

    200 Cigarettes
    But there's no sign of the writerly derring-do that is really essential to daisy-chain storytelling. 200 Cigarettes burns itself out well before midnight.

    Willard
    Perhaps too much energy was spent on being stylish rather than simply low-rent horrifying. The upshot is not very stylish and not very scary.

    I Capture the Castle
    It is, alas, très twee. A muchness of silliness. Beautifully filmed silliness, and fetchingly acted tweeness. But give me Cruella de Vil any time.

    Slums of Beverly Hills
    There's an alchemy that can transform personal experience into a great film, but it was nowhere nearby when Tamara Jenkins wrote and directed this lacklustre first feature.

    Half Past Dead
    A shoot-'em-up for cynical times. Its only asset is Seagal himself, and frankly, he's is getting a bit past it.

    F.I.S.T.
    Gripping to watch but ultimately misses the target. [29 Apr 1978]

    Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
    Sinbad lacks, alas, the sparkle and inventiveness of the stories that inspired it.

    The Theory of Flight
    The difficulty with the film starts with the amount of improbability one must swallow. [24 Dec. 1998, p.D10]

    The Salton Sea
    It uses violence as a drug, injecting it into the audience and hoping to addict it. Once the dependence is created, it is simple to feed it with formulaic films.
