Another opinion:"Gladiator" verging on the ridiculous, with poorly integrated digital graphics. Of the type, "Spartacus" is leagues ahead.
Every "Alien" movie is manipulative and overdone, in my opinion. The first is no better than the interminable sequels.
GI Jane -- a farce that I couldn't sit through without blowing my Coke and popcorn all over the TV screen
White Squall -- to a sailor, an incomprehensible movie, a good TV flick
"Thelma & Louise" the triumph of PC over all reason, art and taste. You want to see women asserting themselves like grownups instead of adolescents? Try Bette Davis in "All About Eve"
1492 -- I abandoned in the first 15 minutes. Gerard Depardieu's low point.
Bladerunner looks cool and futuristic and sci-fi. Nothing underneath, however.
I'll probably catch BHD just to see what all the talk is about.
Appearances to the contrary, I do have an open mind.
