The Power of One (1992)

The movie falls short of the book.

[6/10 · 20 June 2001]

If you like this movie, you will love the book which is 100 times better. Before reading the book, I would have given this movie a high mark but it just pales in comparison. My hope is that someday this movie will be made again more in keeping with the book. I would just like to add that Morgan Freedman is excellent in this film.

Shocker (1989)

Wes Craven's ambitious vision falls short.

[7/10 · 19 June 2001]

The story is excellent but unfortunately the poor special effects (especially at the end) weaken the movie's impact. Wes Craven's vision could not be for filled with the technology they had at the time. It is an excellent film up until they battle it out in TV Land.
