Stephen King's It (Widescreen)
»rank: 5611
Chroniques et points de vue:From :ls there anything scarier than clowns? 0f course not. And who knows scary better than Stephen King? You see where we're going. lt puts a malevolent clown (given demented life by a powdered, red-nosed Tim Curry) front and center, as King's fat novel gets the TV-movie treatment. Even at three hours plus, the action is condensed, but an engaging Stand by Me vibe prevails for much of the running time. The seven main characters, as adolescents, conquered a force of pure evil in their Maine hometown. Now, the cackling ...

Neverending Story 2: The Next Chapter (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 15359
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Filled with a few imaginative moments and a child actor who looks like a miniaturized Sharon Stone, ll isn't as neverending as the third headache in the series, but it's not on par with the original. Versions of Atreyu, the brave warrior, Rockbiter, and Falcor, that flying, pink, poodle-dragon, return to travel across the storybook world of Fantasia. This time our protagonist and reader, Bastian, is actually in the story the entire time instead of looking on from outside the pages. The interaction doesn't help, as it's the same ...

Ride with the Devil (Widescreen)
»rank: 21461
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Great period pictures make you feel as if you've stepped into another era, heard its language, breathed its spirit, and come away with a fresh perspective on that time as well as your own. Ride with the Devil is one of those special films--why wasn't it more widely embraced by reviewers and filmgoers? Did it rely too much on our patience for slow accumulation of unforced rhythms and meanings (as opposed to The Patriot, which 'moved' audiences with cattle-prod simplicity and manipulation)? Ride with the Devil--smart, handsome, tenderly awed ...

Fatal Attraction
»rank: 21461
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:The date movie of the late 1980s, this had everyone arguing in the aisles. Does Michael Douglas deserve the unwanted attention he and his family are receiving at the hands of loony stalker Glenn Close? After a weekend extramarital affair with colleague Close, he returns home to wife Anne Archer, and Close becomes progressively angrier. You might even say she is boiling bunny mad. Directed by Adrian Lyne, this is not your average thriller, as it garnered six Academy Award nominations. The plot is too obvious, but the ...

Outside Providence (Widescreen)
»rank: 32365
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0utside Providence was written by the Farrelly Brothers, known for the outrageous comedies Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, and There's Something About Mary. 0n the surface, 0utside Providence seems to be of the same ilk--there's a three-legged, one-eyed dog, physical humor with a kid in a wheelchair, and a character nicknamed Jiz, among other things. But despite all that, the movie is an almost-gentle coming-of-age comedy, something like a suburban New England Amarcord with a lot of unrepentant drug humor. The plot doesn't sound promising: pothead Tim Dunphy (Shawn Hatosy) ...
