At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Oscar (1991) The film is based on a French play which was first filmed in 1967. John Landis' direction is too plodding, and it drags down the film somewhat. Back to the Film Reviews for the 1990s. www.rinkworks.com /movies/m/oscar.1991.shtml   (205 words)

Cape Fear (1991) Since Scorsese is one of the founders of the Film Foundation (which promotes film restoration) and he formed a company to restore and distribute classic films, it comes as no surprise that he took great care to release a "collector's edition" bursting with excellent features in a two-disc set. Though the debate over which Cape Fear is most fearsome and stylish is likely to rage on, this much is certain: Scorsese succeeded in paying homage to both the thriller genre and the original film. In both of those black-and-white films, Mitchum's soft whistling and singing was all it took to creep out audiences. www.reel.com /movie.asp?MID=2903&buy=open&CID=18&PID=10093181&Tab=reviews   (847 words)

deseretnews.com - Movie review: Frankie and Johnny Deseret Morning News Web edition The major complaint about "Frankie and Johnny" from critics around the country is that, despite an attempt being made to make Michelle Pfeiffer appear blowzy, she's simply too beautiful for the role, which was played on the New York stage by Kathy Bates (who won an Oscar for "Misery"). Adapted by Terrence McNally from his play "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune," and sentimentally directed by Garry Marshall ("Pretty Woman"), "Frankie and Johnny" is a witty and bright if superficial look at '90s relationships. Johnny (Al Pacino) is also lonely, but, fresh out of prison with a renewed sense of optimism and enthusiasm for life, he is anxious to find love with someone. deseretnews.com /movies/view/1,1257,638,00.html   (847 words)

FILM REVIEW -- Egoyan's `Sweet' Take on Suffering / Ian Holm stands out as embittered lawyer Like the insurance adjuster played by Elias Koteas in Egoyan's 1991 film ``The Adjuster,'' he becomes their sounding board, a touchstone for the town's loss and confusion. Based on the novel of the same name by Russell Banks, Egoyan's film won the Grand Prize at Cannes this year, scored high in the Los Angeles and New York Film Critics awards balloting and looks like an Oscar contender for its writing, directing and acting. Egoyan's voice is so clear and loving, his vision so forgiving and his film so intelligent that you come away refreshed. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/1997/12/25/DD1646.DTL   (668 words)

Julia Roberts pictures gallery 1 (It also earned her another Oscar nomination.) The success of the mediocre Sleeping With the Enemy (1991) persuaded Hollywood that her name alone guaranteed box-office success-which the dismal showing for Dying Young (1991) dispelled. After a self-imposed hiatus from work, and a retreat from tabloid headlines, during which she appeared in only one film (a cameo in Robert Altman's The Player in 1992), she made a return to majorleague stardom in The Pelican Brief (1993), followed by I Love Trouble, Pr?t-?-Porter (both 1994), and Mary Reilly (1995). She seems to have weathered her personal storms, and retained her star status (earning up to that time the most money ever paid to an actress-some eight million dollars per film) despite two years away from movies. celebritiestime.com /julia_roberts_pictures_1.html   (647 words)

Rolling Stone : Sleeping With the Enemy : Review Scripted by Oscar winner Ron Bass (Rain Man) and directed by the skilled Joseph Ruben (The Stepfather), the film concerns Laura Burney (Roberts), a woman whose husband, Martin Burney (Patrick Bergin), has been beating her steadily for four years and threatening worse if she calls the police. Though Sleeping rouses itself for a corker of a climax, by then it has lost its claim to be anything more than a serviceable shocker. By my count she hasn't made a really good movie yet, though watching her wait tables in Mystic Pizza, die with dignity in Steel Magnolias, shop till she drops in Pretty Woman or practice New Age medicine in Flatliners provides blissful compensation while we wait. rollingstone.com /reviews/movie/_/id/5948949?...&afl=imdb   (348 words)

The Encyclopedia of Movie Awards The same mistake is perpetuated in John Harkness' ``The Academy Awards Handbook'' (Pinnacle Film, $4.99), which doesn't have Gebert's compensating sense of humor and perspective. Fortunately, all the Oscar nominees are present and accounted for in the latest edition of Damien Bona and the late Mason Wiley's invaluable, wonderfully gossipy ``Inside Oscar: The Unofficial History of the Academy Awards'' (Ballantine, $23). Allowing instant comparisons between the various groups, he devotes each chapter to one year, beginning with the Photoplay Medal of Honor in 1920 and ending with last year's Sundance Film Festival honors. www.michaelgebert.com /encyc2.html   (591 words)

Film Distributors' Association His film debut came in the wartime drama, Days of Glory (1944), but it was his Oscar®-winning, lead role in To Kill A Mockingbird (1962) which defined his screen persona as a decent, upstanding man of integrity, willing to take risks and defy the odds for a just cause. Her screen debut, in RKO's A Bill of Divorcement (1932) opposite John Barrymore, was well received, and she won the first of her unprecedented four Oscars® in only her third film, Morning Glory (1933), in which she played a fresh young actress determined to succeed in New York.

Halle Berry The Razzies movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Now in its 25th year, the Golden Raspberry ceremony is typically held the day before the Oscars to recognize the year's worst film work, so it's no surprise that the winners almost never show up to collect their trophies.
