Between the two of them, Michael Caine and Demi Moore have appeared
in over 175 movies but only once--as far as I can tell--together (1984's
"Blame it on Rio," the sleaziest pedophile sex comedy of the decade!).
On the strength of their latest film...more |

Somewhere in the messy, laughably titled "Flawless" is a
potentially fine character study about prejudice and the price we pay
for sex. But Joel Schumacher's script (which he also directed) is a
rhinestone in the rough, a piece of junk jewelry...more |

There is one man in Hollywood that I have always feared. Joel Schumacher,
director of such films as Batman Forever, A Time To Kill, Batman and Robin, and
8MM. I have yet to see a recent (like in the past twenty years) good movie
coming from the man....more |

Robert De Niro never bores me as an actor, and is always trying to make a fresh
cut out of every character he plays. In "Flawless," De Niro plays a paralyzed
cop, and this echoes memories of the mental patient he played in "Awakenings,"
yet surprisingly...more |

Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Rusty, a flamboyant drag queen and Koontz's
neighbor. They despise each other, hurling invectives back and force
through their respective apartment windows. more |

You have to pity poor Joel Schumacher. Not only is he accused of
single-handedly destroying the Batman franchise, but his last film,
the bleak 8mm, was ridiculed by the majority of critics in America. I
can visualize Schumacher's conversation with...more |

With a title like _Flawless_, writer-director Joel Schumacher has set
himself up for the easy critical jab, so allow me to get it out of the
way right here, right now: _Flawless_ is anything but. However, this
small-scale character drama from the poster...more |

More aptly titled DOA, were that name not already taken, FLAWLESS is an
unappealing mess of a movie. Written and directed by Joel Schumacher,
whose last film was the sleazy 8MM, the movie has tonal problems from
its gangster beginning to its madcap...more |

Double personality. Joel Schumacher. Think FLATLINERS. Think ST-ELMO'S FIRE.
Think FALLING DOWN. Now think BATMAN FOREVER, BATMAN & ROBIN & THE CLIENT.
He likes to make the smaller, more meaningful pictures, but then he also
enjoys making the bigger,...more |

Too many Hollywood films are based on opposites. You've got your
Runaway Bride-type romantic swill where hunky guys and pretty girls hate
each other, but then fall in love. And then there's your 48 Hours-type
action picture where hard-edged cops and...more |

These days, De Niro seems to be seeking out scripts with challenging twists
to his tough guy persona. "Analyze This" (earlier in the year) portrayed him
as a Mafia boss, who in search of meaning to his criminal life, enlists the
reluctant help of the...more |
