The Dead Pool (1988)

Dirty Harry still Has it

[7/10 · 19 January 1999]

In one of the best sequels in the Dirty Harry films, Clint Eastwood returns in the Dead Pool. It is never a dull film, and the action starts right from the beginning. The movie begins when a drug-addicted rock star dies (played zanily by Jim Carrey). When Callahan investigates he discovers a sinister, twisted game called the Dead Pool, and his name is on the list of those expected to die. This is a great movie, and a fun one to watch. And of course, Harry has some memorable quotes; like his one on opinions. Also check out Liam Neeson in this movie as a director.

Crash (1996)

Odd Film, But Has its Merits

[4/10 · 18 January 1999]

Crash is an interesting film, it is not the best movie I have ever seen, but it is one worth a watch. It has an odd story, but it is a very sensual film. The film has a wonderful cast, and Hunter, Spader, and Arquette are ok in it.

Grumpier Old Men (1995)

Simply Wonderful!

[10/10 · 18 January 1999]

Grumpier Old Men is one of the cutest movies I have ever seen. It is a fitting follow - up to Grumpy Old Men. Matthau and Lemmon shine in this great film. My favorite performance in this film would have to go to the wonderful actress Sophia Loren who plays a feisty newcomer in town. Burgess Meredith is marvelous in his role, and he had me rolling! This film is excellent, and I am proud to own it. I suggest that anyone looking for a lots of laughs, and a cute romance story see this movie.
