Review of Cobb (1994)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 26 Jan 2006

Completely enthralling from first frame to last, Cobb is a fascinating, uncompromising portrait of a rage-filled, contradictory man fighting…

Review of Les Misérables (1998)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 26 Jan 2006

A beautiful testament to the strength of the human spirit. This version of Les Miserables is a triumph for everyone involved…

Review of Geronimo: An American Legend (1993)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 26 Jan 2006

A gorgeously shot, fair-minded Western that honors Geronimo and the Apaches, but doesn't demonize the U.S. Cavalry…

Review of Wolfen (1981)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 26 Jan 2006

The often muddled, but scary Wolfen tops The Howling and An American Werewolf in London as the best of 1981's three worthwhile lupine thrillers…

Review of Pulp Fiction (1994)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 25 Jan 2006

A devilishly lurid blast of great entertainment. Ultra-violent and wickedly funny…

Review of Striking Distance (1993)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 25 Jan 2006

A troubled production (reshoots, release-date postponements) that turned out to be surprisingly watchable…

Review of Natural Born Killers (1994)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 25 Jan 2006

An incoherent, experimental acid trip so unbearably pretentious that it gave me newfound respect for the Warren Commission. A real torture test…

Review of Johnny Handsome (1989)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 25 Jan 2006

A stylish and tough crime-thriller with that underlying mournfulness which characterizes Hill's best work…

Review of The Jackal (1997)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 25 Jan 2006

A fast-paced, underrated reworking of the often-sluggish Day of the Jackal. Willis is good as the villainous title character…

Review of The Last Boy Scout (1991)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 25 Jan 2006

A slick, big-budget exploitation movie that's preposterous, foul-mouthed and gratuitously violent, but also a great deal of fun…

Review of Wyatt Earp (1994)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 25 Jan 2006

A great Western that was unfairly disparaged back in 1994…

Review of Raising Cain (1992)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 24 Jan 2006

A respectable if overly campy De Palma thriller. Like the director's Body Double, this plays better the second time you watch it…

Review of The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 24 Jan 2006

An interesting failure that's not as bad as its reputation. Speaks a lot of truth, but the tone is too broad…

Review of Blow Out (1981)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 24 Jan 2006

A well-crafted Hitchcockian-style thriller with De Palma again in top form. It's a mystery why this fizzled at the box office in the summer of 1981…

Review of Extreme Measures (1996)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for FulvueDrive-in.com (175) on 23 Jan 2006

A spine-tingling suspense machine that holds you captivated from beginning to end. A much underrated, overlooked thriller…

Review of Eraser (1996)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 23 Jan 2006

James Caan is good as the heavy, but the movie degenerates into routine comic-book mayhem…

Read Review

Review of The Juror (1996)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 23 Jan 2006

A tightly-wound thriller that succeeds to the degree it does because of Alec Baldwin's sinister performance, which somehow captures the pathos…

Review of Eraser (2014)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 23 Jan 2006

James Caan is good as the heavy, but the movie degenerates into routine comic-book mayhem…

Review of Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 23 Jan 2006

A terrifically off-beat underworld thriller…

Review of The Cable Guy (1996)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for Fantastica Daily (363) on 23 Jan 2006

A hilarious black comedy that proved too dark and too smart for its star's fan base…
