The New Age (1994) **
Judy Davis and James Woods star in this bizarre black comedy, directed by Michael Tolkin.
Mrs Parker And The Vicious Circle (1994) **
Slightly pretentious drama about the famous New York writer. The film's highlights are Robert Benchley's brilliantly satiric "lectures". Jennifer Jason Leigh gives an excellent performance as Dorothy Parker.
The Madness Of King George (1994) **
Tragicomical historical drama starring Nigel Hawthorne as George III.
Federal Hill (1994) **
Intelligent film about two close friends from an Italian neighborhood in Providence, Rhode Island.
Wyatt Earp (1994) **
This epic western, directed by Lawrence Kasdan, isn't half as bad as most critics have claimed. It's a flawed, but very interesting film (especially in the first hour).
Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey (1994) **
Incredible true story of Leon Therem, Russian-born inventor of an electronic musical instrument who was kidnapped by the Soviet secret police from his New York appartment.
Romeo Is Bleeding (1994) **
Were it not for excessive pathos, this uneven black comedy might be quite watchable. It's an extremely unpleasant, sickenly violent, but occasionally brilliant film noir.
The River Wild (1994) **
Clearly inspired by "Deliverance" (1972), it's an effective thriller starring Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon.
Princess Caraboo (1994) **
Simple story of a mysterious girl found in England and believed to be an Asian princess, kidnapped by sailors.
