Detroit Rock City
Cast: Edward Furlong Studio: New Line Cinema Rating: 6.5/10 If you liked Dazed and Confused, you’ll love Detroit Rock City. I sat in a crowd full of people I thought might be a few decades older than the movie’s intended teen audience, but I quickly realized that revisiting the ’70’s is just what they were…

Cast: Patricia Neal Studio: Columbia Rating: 6/10 In a small Mississippi town lives a lonely old woman, Jewel Mae “Cookie” Orcutt (Patricia Neal). Her manor home is a shrine to her late husband, Buck, whom she desperately misses. She shares it with loyal caretaker Willis Richland (Charles S. Dutton), a caring, middle-aged, African-American man who…

Bats
Cast: Lou Diamond Philips Studio: Dimension Rating: 5/10 If you hear shrieking in the night, it just might be people complaining about wasting their money on Bats, easily one of the worst films I’ve seen in years. I don’t know what in the world makes film companies think movies about super-animals are ever a good…

Battlefield Earth
Cast: John Travolta Studio: Warner Bros. Rating: 4/10 When an alien race called the Psyclos turns the Earth into a mining colony, it’s up to rebel hero, Johnny Goodboy, to lead a revolt and save the planet from the giant alien species. What a simple synopsis; it’s just too bad Battlefield Earth is the same…

Being John Malkovich
Cast: John Cusack Studio: USA Rating: 9/10 What in the hell did I just see? At first thought, Being John Malkovich seems to reflect the dreams of every one of us, and our desire to live vicariously through others. That’s my opinion; I urge you to form your own. Although the film’s title is Being…

Big Daddy
Cast: Adam Sandler Studio: Columbia Rating: 7/10 Money. It’s what makes Hollywood glamorous and actors desperate. The parents of child actors must be desperate, being that they put their children in films that require them to act out such bad habits. Children are considered angels, that is, until you see movies like Big Daddy. Sonny…

Flag To Flag
Game: Flag To Flag Platform: Dreamcast Studio: Sega Rating: 5/10 CART racing is exciting, beginning to end. There are many tracks to choose from, Miami, Detroit, and Toronto to name a few, not to mention the plethora of cars that have drivers ready for the road, all rank and file. Just become a member of…

Deep Fighter
Game: Deep Fighter Platform: Dreamcast Studio: UbiSoft Rating: 8.5/10 Deep Fighter plays like a film, an interesting story that sucks you in until you complete your own ending. Look: Whoa. I’m surprised the game looks so cool. The water and underwater creatures look great. This game has all sorts of wild things a few thousand…

Crazy Taxi
Game: Crazy Taxi Platform: Dreamcast Studio: Sega Rating: 8/10 Ever driven a cab? Even if you have, this game will not be anything like you’ve ever experienced in your four-wheeled office. I’m sure none of us has ever done a power slide around a street corner, only to swing the car around, slam on the…
