<b>MY FAVORITE YEAR:</b> During the eighties, epic dramatic actor Peter O'Toole, best 
known for LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, starred in a string of quirky comedy films 
including CREATOR, 
CLUB PARADISE and HIGH SPIRITS...<br />
<br />
Set far apart from those is MY FAVORITE YEAR, garnering O'Toole 
yet another Oscar nomination and one of the best ensemble comedies involving
 behind-the-scene antics of a television show where the characters run 
around frantically, and everything's on the verge of disaster... The mayhem caused by an aging acting-legend of swashbuckling programmers (ala Error 
Flynn) played by a rascally O'Toole and set during the 1950's, when live TV broadcasts reigned...<br />
<br />
Buried lead Mark Linn Baker stars as young 
writer Benjy Stone, who must wrangle O'Toole's Alan Swann from booze and women in order to succeed
 on the telecast, but ends up learning a lesson in life, love and 
adventure. And beyond the two stars are a terrific ensemble cast including 
Joseph Bolonga as an egotistical actor in charge, Jessica Harper as the brainy ingenue and Cameron Mitchell as a gun-toting heavy. <br />

<b>PENNIES FROM  HEAVEN:</b> Chock
 this up as one of the weirdest films ever made, and possibly the 
bravest: to have the characters lip sync to old songs during the course 
of the linear story: that of a song salesman, Steve Martin, travelling 
away from home and a chilly wife to a Noirish city full of shadows and 
innocent-turned-sultry Bernedette Peters.<br />
<br />
Realizing 
all the quirky song and dance numbers (one provided by Christopher 
Walken) are daydreams gives merit to a somewhat involving 
melodrama with ironical humor thrown in for good measure.<br />
<br />
"I want to live in a world where the songs come true," Martin says at 
one point. "There must be someplace where the songs are for real." For 
better or worse, he found just the place.<br />

<b>SECRET ADMIRER:</b> A
 terrific ensemble sex comedy that equally involves the energetic teens 
and their frustrated parents as a secret admirer's love letter tangles 
them all together.<br />
<br />
C. Thomas Howell is good as the central character, in lust with sexy 
Kelly Preston and surreptitiously fawned-over by RAD and FULL HOUSE starlet Lori Loughlin, whose performance as the
 woeful every-girl steals the show: after all, the film's named 
after her central character, the most sympathetic throughout. <br />
<br />
Cliff DeYoung, Dee Wallace, Leigh 
Taylor-Young and Fred Ward are cast perfectly as the convoluted peeps, 
making this curio, that fell through the cracks of 80's pop culture, a thoroughly entertaining little flick.  <br />

<b>LABYRINTH:</b> For
 a rock star, David Bowie is a capable actor. But having his character... 
the king of Goblins ruling a fantasy world where a castle lays in the 
center of a mazy labyrinth... continuously sing songs not only takes the viewer out of 
the fantasy element, but the tunes are dated and forgettable.<br />
<br />
It's
 the outlandishly gorgeous Jennifer Connely who shines as the main 
character, a selfish young girl who wishes her crying infant to the 
goblins. And when her wish takes her up on it, she must figure a way 
through the maze to the castle: a suspenseful, creative adventure that 
works well... as long as there's no singing involved.<br />
<br />
The late great director Jim Henson's puppets, <span style="font-style: italic;">still</span> far superior than CGI, are terrific, but this is to Henson's brilliant 
THE DARK CRYSTAL what RETURN OF THE JEDI was to STAR WARS: a little too 
silly for its own good, but still pretty good nonetheless. <br />

<b>COP OUT: </b>One-liners
 are usually Kevin Smith's strong-point, but in this buddy team-up cop comedy written by someone else, as director and editor he
 glides the action scenes nicely yet some of the wacky dialogue muddles the pace.<br />
<br />
Certain
 aspects do mirror Smith's forte: for instance, the way Bruce Willis, as
 a seasoned cop, cherishes a prized baseball card which, after stolen, 
turns out to be the centerpiece aka McGuffin of the film...  And how his 
comedic sidekick Tracy Morgan fears his wife's infidelity, driving him 
to neurosis... All fitting within the grunge-era 
filmmaker's niche, ranging from nostalgia to bad relationships...  Not to forget the addition of Seann William Scott as the frantic wild card (think Joe Pesci from LETHAL WEAPON combined with JACKASS Johnny Knoxville).<br />
<br />
Even when things get semi-serious... Willis needing to 
pay for his daughter's wedding and Morgan reeling about his wife... it 
becomes a much better movie than the reviews suggest. And a retro score by Harold Faltermeyer (a cross of BEVERLY HILLS 
COP and FLETCH) adds nicely to the overall mix: more homage than parody 
and surprisingly decent overall.<br />

<b>OLD DOGS:</b> One
 of the worst family films ever created, providing that always-jaunty 
Disney soundtrack as Robin Williams and John Travolta raise two kids 
Williams had with Kelly Preston: that he was completely unaware of.<br />
<br />
Both
 men are successful sports agents... Travolta a meandering playboy and 
Williams a stuffed shirt. If Travolta was the character forced into 
fatherhood perhaps we might have something, but Williams is so 
comfortably readymade for this new task, his character's arc, and 
revelation that he loves his kids more than his occupation, means 
nothing.<br />
<br />
The constantly forced wacky situations, horrible
 chemistry of the two leads, embarrassing misuse of CGI and uninteresting 
side-characters makes DOGS a completely forgettable howler.
