The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane (1990) *

A wacky, but annoying spoof of the private-eye genre, starring Andrew Dice Clay as the "rock'n'roll" detective investigating a series of murders, insulting every woman in sight and constantly delivering loads of obscene jokes and vulgar one-liners. A fast-paced, but ridiculous film.

Back To The Future III (1990) *

The third part of the "Back To The Future" saga, set in the Old West circa 1885.

Bird On A Wire (1990) *

Horrible action film starring Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn.

Dick Tracy (1990) *

A film adaptation of the popular comic strip. The cinematography is impressive, but Warren Beatty gives a one-note performance and the plot is very uninvolving. The movie isn't even bad enough to qualify as camp. It's just a humorless bore. There is an excellent review of this film in Slate. Songs:

"Sooner Or Later (I Always Get My Man)" *
"More"
"Sooner Or Later (I Always Get My Man)" (reprise) *
"What Can You Lose" *
"Back In Business" *
"More" (reprise) *

Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990) *

A very inferior sequel to the 1988 hit. Bruce Willis again prevents a group of terrorists from acomplishing their evil deeds (something about rescuing a notorious drug dealer). Plenty of explosions, but little excitement.

Hardware (1990) *

A bleak vision of the future from Richard Stanley, starring Dylan McDermott.

Julia Has Two Lovers (1990) *

A young man (David Duchovny) seduces a woman over the phone.

Men Don't Leave (1990) *

A sad drama about a young woman (Jessica Lange) dealing with the sudden death of her husband. A typical tearjerker.

Nuns On The Run (1990) *

A comedy about two robbers hiding in a convent to escape their double-crossing pals. A very inferior imitation of "A Fish Called Wanda".

Cadillac Man (1990) *

Robin Williams and Tim Robbins star in this tedious, confusing and disappointing comedy-drama about a used-car salesman held hostage by a wacko.

I Love You To Death (1990) *

A philandering husband (Kevin Kline), who's almost killed by his jealous wife, reconciles with her and they live happily ever after. It's based on a true story. The black comedy lacks rhythm and momentum.

Robocop 2 (1990) *

Incredibly nasty, ultra-violent and fascistic film about a cyborg cop fighting against drug dealers. The villains are particularly forgettable.

Three Men And A Little Lady (1990) *

Badly acted, poorly written and weakly directed sequel to the remake of an excellent French film "Trois hommes et un couffin" (1985).
