Review of The Beautician and the Beast (1997) by Jennifer A — 06 Apr 2006

[size=2]I'm beginning the rather lengthy task of entering into the database every film I have seen, at least those I have a decent memory of. Some may have the briefest of reviews while many will just have a number. Those films that I consider personal favorites and/or those that have some historical signficance I will add later when I have time for more lengthy reviews.

[b]Breakdown[/b], directed by Jonathan Mostow, is an enertaining psychological thriller starring Kurt Russell, J.T. Walsh and Kathleen Quinlan. Jeff (Russell) and his wife Amy (Quinlan) break down in a New Mexico desert. Jeff stays with the car while Amy catches a ride with a truckdriver to get help. Amy mysteriously disappears. Russell is convincing in his role.

[b]Broken Arrow[/b], directed by John Woo, is a rather forgettable action flick starring John Travolta and Christian Slater.

[b]Bad Boys [/b]teams Martin Lawrence and Will Smith in this action comedy/buddy film. It was a huge hit, meaning director Michael Bay got a chance to make more awful movies.

[b]Beautician and the Beast [/b]is an awful romantic comedy starring Fran Drescher and Tomothy Dalton.

[b]Other People's Money[/b], directed by Norman Jewison, stars Danny Devito as a corporate raider trying to take over Gergory Peck's business. Not horrible, nor memorable.
