Love Letter (1998)
: :No one with romantic tendencies will be able to resist The Love Letter. Campbell Scott plays a Civil War buff who buys a desk from that era.

Touched by her yearning for passion, he writes her back, egged on by his mystically inclined mother (Estelle Parsons). Magically his letter reaches Lizzie and they begin a correspondence ...

Life As a House
: :A respectable tearjerker, Life as a House is a welcome throwback to angst-ridden family dramas like Ordinary People and Terms of Endearment. It falls short of those modern classics, but you'll probably still need Kleenex if you appreciate Kevin Kline's underrated dramatic skills. As the title suggests, Kline's project is a broad metaphor for repairing damaged lives from the foundation up. Playing an architect with terminal cancer, he gives an Oscar®-caliber performance, reaching out to his estranged, nihilistic son (future Star Wars star Hayden Christensen) ...

Demolition Man
: :Searching for new directions, Sylvester Stallone starred in this farcical, 1993 SF piece about an ex-cop (Stallone) freed from 36 years of forced hibernation to help catch a criminal (Wesley Snipes) who released himself from a similar incarceration. The futuristic story finds Los Angeles a sea of Taco Bells and enforced peace, and within that satiric overview Stallone's character becomes a gun-toting fish out of water. The film plays like a live-action cartoon, and while there is nothing particularly wrong with that, Demolition Man is ...

Another 9 1/2 Weeks
: :Mickey Rourke moans and tries to look deep and meaningful in this unnecessary sequel to that 1984 steamy sexcapade. Kim Basinger did little in the original but look gorgeous and shed her clothes. That said, her performance positively shines next to the moribund Angie Everhart. Rourke is abusive, as he chases Everhart around Paris while ostensibly looking for his girlfriend. Eventually, he and Everhart have nonerotic, unappealing sex. There is much mumbling, pouting, and ineffective arty shots of the city. If you really crave obsessive, ...
