A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries (1998)

A very enjoyable coming of age drama

[9/10 · 26 April 2002]

I just saw this film at Roger Ebert's 4th annual Overlooked Film

Festival and I was thoroughly charmed by it, despite numerous projection difficulties at this particular screening. Its poignant

without being oversentimental and also funny and engaging

throughout. I'd recommend it highly.

Sneakers (1992)

Its Craptacular!

[2/10 · 17 February 2002]

This movie is poorly written, chock full of offensive cliched stereotypes for the blind. Did I mention that the whole thing makes very little sense and the story seems to serve only as a poor vehicle for... I couldn't honestly tell you. Included are bad cryptology conjectures, a horrible throwaway character serving only as the requisite romantic interest for Robert Redford, and the murder of an ex Russian spy and his chauffeur which is curiously forgotten about halfway through the movie and never alluded to again. Rent something else, I beg of you.
