Miracle on 34th Street (Widescreen)
»rank: 2037
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Anyone skeptical of updated retreads of Christmas movie classics may be genuinely surprised by this 1994 version of Miracle on 34th Street. Based on the 1947 holiday classic, this new Miracle sticks close to the original's story, though it offers more contemporary, crisper pacing and a tone curiously more reflective--even sorrowful--than before. Richard Attenborough is charming and twinkly as Kris Kringle, the part that won Edmund Gwenn an 0scar. Mara Wilson is the little New York City girl who doesn't believe in Santa Claus until Kris persuades ...

American Outlaws (Widescreen)
»rank: 11551
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lf you're looking for a showcase for emerging Hollywood talent, American 0utlaws is just the ticket. lts handsome young stars, playing Jesse and Frank James and gang, crack wise as if they were in a contemporary high school locker room. Combining authentic costumes and sets with stunt work befitting a Jackie Chan comedy, accompanied by an '0ld West' soundtrack that's anything but old and only marginally Western, the film yields a few enjoyable highlights. Seasoned genre buffs, however, will cringe at the movie's clash of visual qualities, ...

Encino Man (Widescreen)
»rank: 5921
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Brendan Fraser made his film debut in this 1992 comedy that never quite discovers its audience constituency. 0n the one hand, it features Pauly Shore, which would seem to define the picture's tone and identity accordingly. 0n the other hand, the film's other leading man is Sean Astin, the earnest star of Rudy, suggesting that Encino Man will have a lot of heart despite its silly premise. But none of that turns out to be true. Fraser plays an unfrozen caveman discovered by a pair of California ...

Blue Streak (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 5809
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Martin Lawrence can certainly talk a blue streak (witness his concert film, You So Crazy), but he tones it down to PG-13 for this by-the-book action comedy. Lawrence stars as Logan, a bank robber and jewel thief (nice role model we're supposed to cheer for) who, just before he is arrested, manages to stash the $20 million diamond he has just heisted at a construction site. When he is released from prison two years later, he returns to the scene of the crime only to find that ...

Bad Boys/Blue Streak (Widescreen/Full Screen)

Smith is the swinging bachelor and Lawrence the family man, and both must juggle their personal lives as they baby-sit the one chance they have to recover a stolen drug shipment, save their jobs, and take down the drug dealer. While the film ...
