The Waterboy (Widescreen)
»rank: 4307
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Adam Sandler vaulted into the $20-million-salary stratosphere with this, his second $100-million hit in 1998--a movie that further shows just how deeply embedded he is in the Jerry Lewis tradition of idiot comedy. He plays Bobby Boucher, a backwoods Cajun and a mentally challenged individual with a fixation on water: specifically, on serving the coolest, most refreshing H20 available to the college football team he has served since he was an adolescent. But when he's fired from his position, he takes up a similar job with a ...

St. Elmo's Fire (Widescreen)
»rank: 8236
Chroniques et points de vue:From :A collective vanity piece for the so-called Brat Pack of the 1980s, this coming-of-age movie--written and directed by Joel Schumacher (A Time to Kill)--is a largely unbelievable ensemble piece about college grads having trouble getting a lift-off into adulthood. As in John Hughes's Breakfast Club--which has a lot of casting overlap with this film--each actor plays a rather narrow type with problems common to his or her classification. Some (as with Rob Lowe's seemingly doomstruck character) are more absurd than others. But absurdity isn't the issue in ...

Fatal Instinct (1993)
»rank: 13058
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Carl Reiner tried to give the Mel Brooks treatment to the Fatal Attraction/Basic lnstinct genre of films about vicious, conniving women and the not-so-bright men who get involved with them. ln this case, it's Armand Assante, an actor not particularly known for his comedic chops. He plays a guy who is both a police detective and a defense attorney, so he can defend the people he arrests. He becomes the target of a female stalker (Sean Young, in a bit of typecasting), as well as the dupe ...

The Mask
»rank: 13058
Chroniques et points de vue:From :For a film heavily dependent on special effects, the best effect going in this 1994 comedy is the ever-expressive star, Jim Carrey, playing a shy bank teller who stumbles across an ancient mask that turns him into a green hepcat with extraordinary powers. Cameron Diaz plays the love interest, but the real purpose of the movie is to bring cartoonish energy and effects into a live-action production. Toward that end, director Charles Russell does the job, but the gimmick wears out quickly for those easily bored by ...

Intolerable Cruelty (Widescreen)
»rank: 8421
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca: L'un produit, l'autre réalise, mais les deux frères Coen scénarisent ensemble depuis 1984. Abordant avec un talent réellement original quelques-uns des genres emblématiques du cinéma américain (policier, comédie musicale.…), ils se laissent glisser non sans humour sur les rives de la comédie romantique avec lntolerable Cruelty. Miles Massey (George Clooney) est l'avocat le plus efficace qui soit en matière de divorce. lntelligent, charismatique et drôle, il est la séduction même. Marylin Rexroth (Catherine Zeta-Jones), quant à elle, a presque fait du divorce sa profession. Belle, vénéneuse et ...
