Armageddon (PG-13) 'The sky is
falling, the sky is falling!’ Can in Bruce
Willis to save the planet. Billy Bob
Thornton sells out, Steve Buscemi goes
nuts, Ben Affleck makes an ass of him-*
self, and Liv Tyler is the token hot
chick/cheesy love interest. Action-
packed and pretty damn scary. Call me a
sucker, but I feil for it. (ML)
(Beechwood, Commerce Drive-In)
Barney’s Great Adventure (G)
Someone shoot this thing already! (ML)
(Alps)
Baseketball (R) Sicko “Southpark"
creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone get
to work with one of their idols, director
David Zucker (Airplane!, The Naked
Gun) in this film about a couple of guys
who invent a new sport that sweeps the
nation. Co-starring Yasmin Bleeth
(“Baywatch’), Jenny McCarthy (MTV),
Robert Vaughn (The Towering Inferno,
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) and Ernest
Borgnine. Bob Costas and Al Michaels
play themselves Let’s hope this move
lives up to the hype. Opens Friday. (ML)
(Beechwood)
The Big Lebowski (R) The Coen
Brothers take on SoCal Stoner culture
way. way, way after the gold rush. Jeff
Bridges plays The Dude, a hippie whose
life has degenerated into a routine of
bowling, loking, and imbibing While
Russians (?). Bridges' performance car
ries what is otherwise one of the Coens'
thinnest, weakest films. (RF) (Tate
Center)
The Brothers McMullen (R) Edward
Burns, who currently stars alongside
Tom Hanks in Savi.,g Private Ryan, won
the Best First Feature Award at
Sundance in 1995 for writing, directing,
and starring in this film about the rela
tionship trials ol three Irish-American
brothers on Long Island. Here's a
chance to see him in action before
Spielberg got ahold of him. (ML)
(Library)
Can’t Hardly Waft (PG-13) At a high
school graduation keg party, a wall
flower (Ethan Embry) is determined to
meet the girl of his dreams (Jennifer
Love Hewitt). Despite surface similari
ties, this film fails to measure up to
John Hughes’ better teenage comedies.
(BL) (Alps)
City Of Angels (PG-13) Nicholas
Cage, Meg Ryan and Dennis Franz star
in this syrupy L.A. remake of Wim
Wenders’ Wings 01 Desire. For God's
sake, stay away. (BL) (Alps)
Disturbing Behavior (R) Director
David Nutter (’The X-Files") should
stick to TV. Starring a bunch of pretty
kids (terie Holmes ol "Dawson's Creek’
and Nick Stahl of The Man Without a
Face), this dumb flick tells the tale of a
high school shrink who is convincing all
the parents to enroll their kids in a kind
of lobotomizing “program' that turns
them into upstanding achievers. The
problem is that whenever one of them
gets hot and bothered (as teenagers are
prone to do) they go on a murderous
rampage. Think “90210’ kids getting the
Clockwork Orange treatment. Halfway
through this ridiculous flick, I wished I
was the one with the lobotomy. (ML)
(Mall Inside)
Dr. Dolittle (PG-13) Fddie Murphy
stars as the doctor who talks to the ani
mals. Expect a lot of low-brow toile'
humor (the kids love that stuff) but little
else. Ossie Davis always rocks, however
Featuring the voices of Chris Rock,
Gilbert Gottfried, Albert Brooks, Norm
MacDonald and Gary Shandling (BL)
(Mall Outside)
Ever After (PG-13) Drew Barrymore
stars in this Renaissance fairy tale of a
servant girl and her Prince Charming.
This is a delightful movie that keeps a
safe distance from sickiy sweet territory.
Barrymore plays the Cinderella-esque
role with just the right dose of spunk
and intelligence. Beautiful costumes and
scenery and a fabulous performance by
Angelica Huston as the Evii Stepmother.
I swear it’s not too cheesy! (ML) (Mall
Outside)
Hope Floats (PG-13) Sandra Bullock
and Har^ Connick Jr. star in this slow-
moving but enjoyable romantic drama
about a newly-divorced mom who
returns to her Texas home to start over.
This is Bullock’s best performance
since... well. ever. The great Gena
Rowlands (A Woman Under The
Influence) and the little kids steal the
screen. Recommended. (BL)
(Beechwood)
Kurt and Courtney (NR) This ’banned
from Sundance" film by controversial
documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield
(Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam)
begins as a portrait of a musical genius
(Kurt Cobain) and is quickly led astray
into the seedy underworld of rock and
roll and heroin. Despite pulling out
every trick in the book, Courtney Love
and her lawyers couldn't stop the release
of this film; it portrays the raunchy
grunge queen turned glamour girl as a
violent and manipulative junkie gold
Disturbing Behavior stars James Marsden and Katie Holmes.
digger who drove her husband to the
edge, it noes as far as to suggest she
even had him killed. Tabloid theater at
its sordid best (ML) (Georgia Theater)
The Last Days of Disco (R) Director
Whit Stillman (Barcelona, Metropolitan)
documents the club scene in the early
1980s when disco was choking on its
last shallow breaths. Starring Kate
Beckinsale (Emmd) and Chloe ^evigny
(Kids). (ML) (Georgia Theater)
Lethal Weapon 4 (R) Mel Gibson and
Danny Glover are back as the buddy cop
duo of Riggs and Murtaugh. Rene Russo
returns as Gibson's girlfriend (now preg
nant). Joe Pesci once again is the butt of
many a cruel joke as Leo Getz, the bum
bling con man turned cop. Add the
a'^ys hilarious Chris Rock as the new
johnny on the block to the standard mix
of international bad guys, shoot outs,
car chases, and explosions and you
have all the ingredients fans of the
Lethal Weapon senes have come lo
expect. (BL, ML) (Beechwood.
Commerce Drive-In)
Madeline (PG) Based on the children's
books by Ludwig Bemelmans, this
charming comedy provides welcome
relief for kids too young for tacky sum
mer blockbusters. Fargo's Frances
McDormand stars as Miss Clavel, a kind
schoolmarm in Paris looking after 12
bright young girls. The run* of the group
is Madeline, played by Hatty Jones.
Bring the young kids. Highly recom
mended. (BL) (Mall Outside)
Mafia (PG-13) This film is typical fare
for fans of director Jim Abrahams
(Airplane! The Naked Gun). Parodying
scenes from the likes of The Godfather,
Casino, Goodfellas, Forrest Gump, The
English Patient, and even II Poshno, the
film is good for an occasional guffaw
but not nearly as funnv as Airplane!
Starring Lloyd Bridges in his linai per
formance as the “godfather’ Vincenzo
Cortano, Olympia Dukakis (Moonstruck,
Steel Magnolias) as his flatulent elderly
mother, Jay Mohr (“Saturday Night
Live’) as the successor son, Christina
Applegate (“Married...with Children’) as
the girlfriend/President of the United
States, and a handful of sexy Italian
men. (ML) (Mall Outside)
The Mask Of Zorro (PG-13) “My
name is Antonio Banderas, you kill my
brother. After three hours of endless
swordplay, prepare to die!’ Anthony
Hopkins is the aging Hero Formerly
Known as Zorro. Banderas is his new
protege. Catherine Zeta-Jones thrusts
her cleavage in everyone's face. This
film reads like one big fa! Hollywood
clich6. (ML) (Mall Outside, Commerce
