    Swept Away
    Madonna herself is not so much terrible as merely uninvolving. She's quite credible as the harpy of the first act, but she can't pull off the transition and the spark that makes a movie star instantly sympathetic.

    88 Minutes
    Preposterous, empty-headed and tedious.

    Bless the Child
    The movie works -- at least marginally.

    Lost Souls
    A screaming, silly cliche -- and somehow not a bit scary.

    Weekend at Bernie's II
    Weekend at Bernie's II stands as just about the best argument I've seen in a long time that the Motion Picture Association of America's rating system is a complete farce. [10 July 1993]

    Deuces Wild
    In its best moments, resembles a bad high school production of "Grease," without benefit of song.

    Kangaroo Jack
    The kangaroo is devoid of charm, as are the actors, who have the chemistry of fingernails on a blackboard.

    Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    It doesn't have the imagination or daring to make a full turn to self-parody.

    Whipped
    Perhaps there is a more excruciatingly painful and self-abusive way to spend 82 minutes. But I honestly can't think of what it would be.

    Illusion
    The star-crossed love story that takes up most of the movie-within-the-movie is strangely compelling, and Douglas gives a believable, often powerful performance as a man in the process of discovering the karmic ripple effect of a closed-off life.

    Strictly Sinatra
    Loaded down with gritty Glasgow atmosphere and authenticity, and works so well as an ensemble piece
