...Know What You Did Last Summer” or straight-to-video gems like “Frankenfish.”The missing link is all that wonderful psychosexual craziness—that sense of uncanny terror—and most all the creepy feeling that the screen is acting out repressed fears and desires you didn’t know you had. You could take everyone’s favorite poststructuralist gender theoretician, Judith Butler, and her old sparring partner, Donna Haraway, to most 1970s horror films and watch them battle it out over a cappuccino after the movie...
...dance man, and a gifted one at that. Fittingly, due to his early skills, Walken can now add the music video to the list of art forms he has conquered.In the video for Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice,” the screen veteran sashays as if a Lord of the Dance title depended upon it.

Banderas’ Alejandro serves more or less the same purpose; unless you’re looking for lessons in overacting, watching this movie is no better than buying...
...This relationship and Dave’s reaction to it, pose the pertinent modern question: do men need to serve as the providers in order to feel relationship fulfillment? Not to sound like an Amish prude, but Rafi and Dave’s sex life takes up too much screen time. While Thurman and Greenberg do have fabulous on-screen chemistry, watching their sexcapades all the flipping time gets old really quickly. Most of Rafi and Dave’s relationship screen time is spent having sex, walking around post-sex, or trying to get to sex. When not having...
