Money Train (1995)

A movie about the TRANSIT POLICE?

[3 June 1999]

I never thought that there would be a film made about the transit cops.

Well, as usual, Hollywood surprises us.

Boring, cliched and an overall yawn.

Hollywood should stick to films about more interesting sectors of law enforcement.

Shakes the Clown (1991)

MASTERPIECE--What more can I say?

[3 June 1999]

This movie has it all--booze, drugs, murder, sex, clowns and hatred for mimes.

From the first scene in the bathroom, this movie enthralls.

Golthwait is a misunderstood genius...despite "Hot to Trot."

Check your brain at the door and SEE THIS MOVIE NOW!

Hot to Trot (1988)

THE BEST MOVIE OF THE CENTURY!

[3 June 1999]

How do I put into words my love for this film?

Dabney Coleman was superb, a milestone performance. Bob Golthwait shines as the protagonist of this cinematic marvel. And the incomparable John Candy...his voice-overs are breathtaking in their complexity.

Forget all the so-called "great films." Those are child's play compared to this gripping indictment of the gambling industry and one man's dedication to his friend, and his principles.

We can only wait with baited breath for Hot to Trot II: Don Eats An Apple. I hope that Hollywood has the good sense to make it soon, and the budget to make it a fitting tribute to its vaunted predecessor

Loose Cannons (1990)

Good God, WHY?

[24 May 1999]

I thought that these two actors would make a good film together...I was sorely mistaken. The jokes were bad, Hackman's acting (if it can indeed be called that) is forced, and Aykroyd is flat-out embarrassing. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't; I was asleep. Nothing worked in this movie.
