If you've come to this page after first perusing my more recent reviews, you may be surprised by how, um,
concise these older ones are. This page originally was intended
to be read only by my friends, and I simply dashed off a few sentences
about each film, providing opinion with no analysis. Since then, my
readership has expanded (though not by all that much, really), and
so have my reviews -- to the point where I really oughta start dividing
them up into more than one paragraph one of these days. (I finally
did so in 1997.) Anyway, be
prepared for brevity in most of the reviews below; some of them are only
a sentence long. (Those for films released in November and December are
a bit meatier.)
I apologize for the preformatted text; my knowledge of HTML, which
is still very limited, was even more so last year. My laziness, on the
other hand, has remained constant, and I haven't bothered to reformat
anything.
