February 2, 1993

Arizona Dream (1993) **

Occassionally brilliant, but often dull film by Emir Kusturica.

Benny & Joon (1993) **

Johnny Depp and Mary Stuart Masterson star in this film about mental illness.

A Bronx Tale (1993) **

A cross between "GoodFellas" (1990) and "Jungle Fever" (1991), but without the gritty cynicism of the first and the realistic pessimism of the second.

Cliffhanger (1993) **

Spectacular scenery and impressive stunts are the only assets of this rather humorless, predictable and ultimately disappointing action-adventure film set among the cliffs, precipices and mountain slopes of Colorado's Rocky Mountains.

Fearless (1993) **

Serious drama about plane crash survivors, starring Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez.

Mrs Doubtfire (1993) **

Robin Williams is terrific, but the comic material is frequently interrupted by gushy sentimentality.

Reality Bites (1993) **

Winona Ryder stars in this involving drama about the so-called Generation X.

Shadowlands (1993) **

Average drama starring Debra Winger and Anthony Hopkins. Well acted, but not very interesting.
