The Year In Review
Mbvi
Columnist
James Francis
BUAD major
From the highly suc
cessful ID, which
grossed 695
million, to the
obscure medical
drama Extreme Mea
sures, this has been
a year of eclectic
feature films.
Deciding whether a new year comes in like
a lion and goes out like a lamb is one thing.
Pondering the year’s best and worst feature
films is no different.
1996 has seen comedy, drama, thriller, car
toon and combinations of more genres of film.
What sets one film apart from another, on
the year’s top-10 best and worst lists is a critics
definition of quality, content, refreshing cine
matography and, of course, dazzling acting tal
ent.
Although some of this year’s big box-office
winners do not have all of these qualities, they
were strong forces to reckon with.
The movie stars came out in droves this year
to give viewers unforgettable films; ones that
made us laugh, cry and think. There were also
films that made us feel these emotions because
they were so bad.
So, to clear up some of the great and not-so-
great releases this year, I present “James’ Top-
Ten Best and Worst Films of 1996”:
Top 10 Best (so good, they don’t need to be
numbered):
Independence Day - we kill the meanest
ET’s from outer-space
Bound - two women fall in love and kill
others for money
Star Trek: First Contact - mankind over
comes assimilation yet again
The Long Kiss Goodnight - quote before an
explosion: “Shouldn’t we get a dog?”
Ransom - tears, sobs, screams (and that’s
just the audience)
James and the Giant Peach - more than a
toon for kids
William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet -
‘twas a most fair and noble accomplishment
The Nutty Professor - a step up from the Jer
ry Lewis original
The Truth About Cats and Dogs - first film to
show safe-sex in the nineties (on the phone)
The Ghost and The Darkness - lions and li
ons and lions, oh my ... no, I’m really afraid
Top 10 Worst (so bad, numbers are irrele
vant):
Four Rooms - four hotel rooms too many,
try the Hilton
The Mighty Ducks 3 - hockey season never
ends, right?
Bulletproof - too bad the film’s title didn’t
protect the actors
Thinner - how long does it take to get to the
center of a bad movie?
Last Man Standing - actually, there were
two at the end
Multiplicity - there’s a plot here somewhere
... nope, just enjoy the credits
Mary Reilly - is that an Irish accent I hear
or are you just scared to act?
Before and After - came in and left with the
same thought... really bad movie
Kazaam - watch the acting disappear right
before your very own eyes
' The Rich Man's Wife - couldn’t afford a real
script could ya?
So what can audiences expect in the up-
