- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsJeff GoldblumJulianne MoorePete PostlethwaiteA research team is sent to the Jurassic Park Site B island to study the dinosaurs there, while an InGen team approaches with another agenda.A lousy repeat of the first movie.
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsWoody AllenGoldie HawnJulia RobertsA New York girl sets her father up with a beautiful woman in a troubled marriage while her stepsister gets engaged.Woody Allen spends two hours saying "Hey everyone! Look at these neurotic rich New Yorkers!"
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsTom CruiseNicole KidmanTodd FieldA Manhattan doctor embarks on a bizarre, night-long odyssey after his wife's admission of unfulfilled longing.Supposedly one of the most overtly sexual movies ever, it's really two hours of male sexual fantasies. How could the director of "Dr. Strangelove" and "2001" do this to us?
- DirectorMilos FormanStarsJim CarreyDanny DeVitoGerry BeckerThe life and career of legendary comedian Andy Kaufman.Andy Kaufman was a zero in the first place, so what was the point of making a movie about him?
- DirectorsEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsOscar IsaacCarey MulliganJohn GoodmanA week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.The main character goes through no changes, and the movie never focuses on the social movements in which folk music played a role.
- DirectorRoger CormanStarsJohn HurtRaul JuliaNick BrimbleThe ultimate weapon, which was meant to be safe for mankind, produces global side effects including time slides and disappearances. The scientist behind the project, and his car, are zapped from the year 2031 to 1817's Switzerland.The first clue that it's going to be a crummy movie is that the "computer" is nothing but a bunch of flashing lights.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMark WahlbergHelena Bonham CarterTim RothIn 2029, an Air Force astronaut crash-lands on a mysterious planet where evolved, talking apes dominate a race of primitive humans.There should NOT have been a remake of the sci-fi classic!
- DirectorBarry LevinsonStarsDustin HoffmanSharon StoneSamuel L. JacksonA spaceship is discovered under three hundred years' worth of coral growth at the bottom of the ocean.I will say that this one has a good premise, it's just poorly executed.
