Alien 3 (1992) **
Very stylish horror film set in the outer-space. Visually superb, but boring. It lacks the claustrophobic intensity of Ridley Scott's original and the nerve-wrecking, overwhelming energy of James Cameron's sequel. Instead, director David Fincher (in his film debut) makes a gory, nihilistic statement about the future of humanity, a very disturbing and unpleasant film. Action scenes are weak, but the film is far being a failure - its bare, desolate settings create an atmosphere of gloom, pessimism and hopeless despair.
The Bodyguard (1992) **
Shamelessly manipulative, but quite effective film starring Whitney Huston and Kevin Costner.
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992) **
A young mother almost looses her family to a cunning babysitter.
My Cousin Vinny (1992) **
Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei are superb in this otherwise routine courtroom drama set in Deep, Deep South.
Rush (1992) **
Gritty, very realistic film about two undercover cops who slowly become drug addicts. Too depressing.
