A Simple Plan
Starring Bill Paxton and Billy Bob
Thornton
Directed by Sam Raimi
Playing at Hollywood 1 6
Rated R
Maybe it was snow-covered fields. Maybe it
was the ominous tone in each scene. Whatever
it was, A Simple Plan can only be described as
bone chilling.
Based on the novel by Scott Smith, who also
adapted the screenplay, this modern day morali
ty tale is about two brothers, Hank (Paxton) and
Jacob (Thornton) and their friend Lou (Brent
Briscoe) who stumble upon $4.4 million inside
a duffel bag in a downed airplane.
Naturally, they assume it is drug money. Af
ter thinking about the morality and conse
quences of keeping the money, Hank decides he
should hide the dough until spring. If nobody
comes looking for it, the three will split it. All
they have to do is keep quiet.
Of course, mayhem ensues as men’s greed
takes over. The plan reaches a crucial turning
Point when the dim-witted Jacob is forced by
Hank to side with his brother over his drinking
buddy. Lou and Jacob are more alike in habits,
but Jacob and Hank are tied by blood.
The film is emotionally complex. The
love/hate relationship between the college-edu-
cated, married and successful Hank and his
slow and limited brother, Jacob, is the linchpin
°f the film.
Thornton’s performance (sure to be reward
ed with an Oscar nomination) has moments of
overacting, yet it also captures moments of
depth and poignancy.
Thorton portrays Jacob, not in a Rain Man-
es que caricature, but by bringing the resignation
°f his loneliness to a new level of loserdom.
The power of the film is that it pulls the audi
ence into the degradation of these characters’
At First Sight
Starring Val Kilmer and Mira
Sorvino
Directed by Irwin Winkler
Playing at Hollywood 1 6
Rated PG-1 3
Often, it is easy to take for
granted the most basic things in
life, such as the ability to see. At
First Sight does a great job of
demonstrating the world of the
blind.
The story begins with Amy
(Sorvino), a busy and talented
architect, traveling to a stress-re
lieving resort getaway.
Her daily masseuse happens
to be the irresistible Virgil
(Kilmer). Amy receives a fantas
tic massage and realizes what
she has been missing her entire
adult life is sensitivity from a
man.
On her brief visit to the quaint
resort town, Amy and Virgil fall
in love. However, his elder, over-
protective sister Jenny (Kelly
McGillis) sees this new relation
ship of Virgil’s as a threat to their
stable lifestyle.
Amy wants to share her life
with Virgil, So she researche s his
condition and successfully finds
a way for him to regain his vi
sion. Virgil decides to undergo
surgery, despite the strong objec
tions from his sister.
Complications arise because
his eyes are not communicating
correctly with his brain. The rest
of the movie involves the trials
Virgil and Amy must face during
his rebirth.
Winkler displays the recovery
of sight so creatively with vivid
color and blurred images. This is
probably the best performance
offered by Kilmer since The
Doors.
Sorvino showed the world her
charm and talent for her Oscar-
winning role in Mighty Aphrodite
and doesn’t fail in this film.
Kilmer and Sorvino truly share
romantic chemistry.
If sentimentality is not a prob
lem, then take a date to this
movie. It will make audiences
laugh and cry and may also
make a few people appreciate
things that have always been tak
en for granted. (Grade B +)

In Dreams
Starring Annette Bening and
Robert Downey Jr.
Directed by Neil Jordan
Playing at Hollywood 16
Rated R
Jeff Kempf
in 1998, such releases as Saving
Private Ryan and The Prince of
Egypt have helped put Dream
Works studio on the map. It’s
newest release, In Dreams, is test
ing the studio’s skill to create a hor
ror/thriller film. Unfortunately, this
movie, starring Bening, Aidan
Quinn and Downey, is very remi
niscent of Wes Craven’s classic, A
Nightmare on Elm Street. Even
though elements of descriptive vio
lence, jolting dream sequences and
psychological abuse take place
throughout the film, In Dreams
does not make its mark as a great
thriller.
This movie tells a story of Claire
Cooper (Bening), an illustrator of
children’s books, who has been ex
periencing a series of frightful
dreams. Claire soon realizes she is
visioning the events surrounding
vicious child murders. The story
then begins to spiral into never-
ending predictability, which seems
