“Wild Wild West”

"Wild Wild West" (PG-13) Stars: Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh & Salma Hayek. DT: Yet another '60s TV show makes it to the big screen and the results are on par with the rest of them. Will Smith portrays quick-on-the-draw James West and Kevin Kline plays the inventive Artemis Gordon. Kenneth Branagh is the vengeful Arliss Loveless and he chews up the scenery with gusto. DM: This...

“Tarzan”

"Tarzan" (G) Stars: Tony Goldwyn, Minnie Driver, Rosie O'Donnell & Brian Blessed. DT: Disney has crafted yet another entertaining cartoon for the kids that's also fun for the parents. They've taken the best parts of the Tarzan story and combined them with the usual Disney formula and it's not a bad fit. It makes sense for Tarzan to have animal sidekicks in this film as opposed to their...

“Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me”

"Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (PG-13) This sequel follows our favorite 1960s hero, Austin Powers, as he travels back in time to battle the evil Dr. Evil. This second effort by Mike Myers grossed more in the first week (more than $50 million) than the first one did in its entire run. It surely isn't worth that kind of box office credit, so it goes to show just how much a good publicity...

"Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace" (PG) Stars: Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman & Jake Lloyd. DT: Well now, did you really think this column would not have this review in it? This episode serves the purpose of introducing characters and the origins of characters made famous in the episodes numbered four through six. I need not mention their titles. This position is a two...

“The Mummy”

"The Mummy" (PG-13) Stars: Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, Arnold Vosloo & John Hannah. DM: Turn the action-adventure dial on high and let 'er rip. That pretty much sums up "The Mummy." From the opening credits to the final scene this movie is rip-roaring fun. DT: We're talking fun of the mysterious lost city-mummy's curse-magic spell-gunfights and mummy slicing variety. If you're one of the...

“The Love Letter”

"The Love Letter" (PG-13) This short and simple love story is a modest entry into the early summer movie sweepstakes. The story revolves around a love letter which falls into the hands of a number of characters, including Kate Capshaw and Tom Selleck. Confusion grows as each cast member thinks another wrote it. DM: Offered up as a date movie for those not wanting to see "The Phantom Menace,"...

“Notting Hill”

"Notting Hill" (PG-13) Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant star in this ultimate date movie. Roberts plays a mega-star (there's a stretch) and Grant plays a humble bookstore owner who calls Notting Hill, England his home. Like all movies of this style, there is the obligatory chance meeting, the two hit it off (surprise) and of course, like any movie where two complete opposites meet, there is a Romeo...
