Lavish, but empty period drama. The cartoon-drawing paparazzi were a nice touch -

Point Break

Same as it ever was - 72% pure adrenaline.

Halliwell says: Ridiculous thriller, with convoluted and unbelievable plot and a great deal of masculine posturing.

Airplane!

As good as ever.

Halliwell says: Arthur Hailey's Flight into Danger and the film Zero Hour which was made from it get the zany parody treatment in this popular movie which is often funny but sometimes merely crude. It rang the box office bell more loudly than most expensive epics of its year.**
