Review of Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 25 Jun 2008

There's a high gloss and some nice payoffs, but not quite as much humor as usual; Bond seems to be straying from his tongue-in-cheek origins…

Review of California Split (1974)

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 17 Sep 2005

Review of She's All That (1999)

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 30 Jan 2003

Review of Mission: Impossible II (2000)

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 19 Aug 2002

Review of Wide Awake (1998)

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 18 Jun 2002

Review of Sister Act (1992)

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 19 Nov 2001

It’s a divine concept, and after a weak start director Emile Ardolino milks it for all the laughs it’s worth, while deriving requisite…

Review of Thunderheart (1992)

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 14 Aug 2000

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 03 Jan 2000

Review of The Cruise (1998)

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 10 Feb 1999

There is unquestionably enough lively material here to snare one’s attention but, even at just 76 minutes, many will feel that this cruise…

Review of Point Blank (1967)

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 14 Jul 1974

Point Blank smartly joins film-noir elements with techniques from the then-cresting British, French, and Italian new waves…

Review of The Philadelphia Story (1940)

By Joe Holleman (31) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 30 Oct 1948
