...Fisher candidly exposes the lives of the young and bored in Hawaii. Going to a prep school his single father can't really afford, the lonely Loren Foster tries to keep up with his AP classes but becomes more interested in hanging out with his ne'r-do-well pal and tweaking on crystal meth. While filling the story with atmospheric details like Hawaiian slang ("baku" for meth; "haole" for a non-native), Johnson's remarkably confident artwork drains the lush world of its color, leaving just the deep shadows. Night Fisher brings a chill to the tropics...
...Cusack as a hard-nosed killer/mob lawyer, without any of the neurotic charm of “Gross Pointe Blank,” is a bit hard to stomach. One wonders what happened to that fun, lovable kid who played Anthony Michael Hall’s pal in “Sixteen Candles.” Instead of Minnie Driver (“Good Will Hunting”) as the love interest, we’re presented with Connie Nielson (“Gladiator”) who plays Renata, a strip club manager. Nielson’s overly seductive, annoyingly...
...Tommy, when he's not doing time at Rahway Correctional Facility, sings with neighborhood pal Nick (J. Robert Spencer) and looks out for a guy, one year younger, whom he calls "kid": Frankie Castelluccio (John Lloyd Young). Frankie's wife Mary (Jennifer Naimo) warns him: Mary: "With friends like these, maybe you should change your name to Sinatra." But he goes for Valli. Then Tommy's pesty friend Joe Pesci, yes, that one, hooks him up with Bob Gaudio (Daniel Reichard), a teenager who a few years before had a novelty hit called "Short Shorts." He wants music...
...Daniel Radcliffe is coming along nicely as the young hero, though it?s up for grabs whether the teen actor will have the chest hair to face the horrors in store for Harry. I?m getting quite fond of Emma Watson as Harry?s pal Hermione. Only Rupert Grint?s Ron Weasley, the whiny ginger kid who represents the working class at Hogwarts, tries my patience. The film?s one unneeded plot strand concerns an estrangement between Ron and Harry. Why bother sundering them when we know they?ll get back together...
...LEGENDARY JERRY" COLLECTION It's long past time to admit that we were wrong about Jerry Lewis and the French were right. In his 10-year run as Dean Martin's goony pal, Lewis was the master of extreme physical and verbal comedy. As the auteur and star of another decade's worth of prime movie farces, from the near wordless The Bellboy to the daft poignancy of The Nutty Professor (in a dual role as both himself and Dean), he bent the medium as smartly as he distorted his own body. This 10-film set deserves a Lgion...
