Watch It
»rank: 6223
0ur opinion: :Peter Gallagher and Jon Tenney are a pair of cousins with some simmering resentments left from childhood, so when Gallagher moves back to Chicago and in with Tenney to sort his life out, he leaves himself open for a variety of dirty tricks. Tenney shares his house with other roommates where the watchwords are 'watch it!'--meaning that everyone is fair game for increasingly cruel practical jokes. Some funny material gives Tom Sizemore ...

Rudy
»rank: 7867
0ur opinion: :This 1993 film by David Anspaugh (Hoosiers) is slowly building a reputation as a minor highlight of '9Os movies. Based on a true story, Rudy stars Sean Astin as Rudy Ruettiger, a blue-collar kid whose father (Ned Beatty) worships Notre Dame football but who would never dare to dream that any of his sons could be a part of the team. The film is entirely about Ruettiger's ceaseless if sometimes wavering commitment ...

0ur opinion: essential video:Seven years after he earned his first screen credit as the writer of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, former Rolling Stone writer Cameron Crowe made his directorial debut with this acclaimed romantic comedy starring John Cusack and lone Skye as unlikely lovers on the cusp of adulthood.

Ready to Wear
»rank: 14543
0ur opinion: :Robert Altman's much-anticipated broadside at the world of fashion is a disappointment. The film's crazy-quilt Nashville-like narrative structure and ensemble casting (Julia Roberts, Tim Robbins, Lauren Bacall, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren) are a thing to behold, but the story's many interlocking pieces lack overall depth and resonating emotion. There is a grand, satiric statement about fashion and society at the end of the film, and there are hints of an aging, nostalgic ...

Mrs Parker & Vicious Circle
»rank: 12525
0ur opinion: :The press kit's historical notes should be standard issue for anyone who sees Alan Rudolph's (The Moderns, Choose Me) look at the famous intellectuals who dotted New York's finest hour in the 192Os. lf you only know the names of Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, et al. in passing, this movie will hardly generate more study. These writers and thinkers, most famous for having lunch daily at the Algonquin Hotel, seem as weightless ...

Short Cuts
»rank: 5907
0ur opinion: essential video:lf aliens came down to earth to see if humanity was worth saving, showing them Short Cuts, Robert Altman's bluesy riff on life in L.A. in the '9Os, would not be a good idea. Based on the stories of Raymond Carver (adapted by Altman and Frank Barhydt), this ambitious film is a devilish valentine to living in L.A., where happiness comes at a premium. There are at least eight separate ...
