Blast From The Past (1999) *

Directed by Hugh Wilson. With Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silvestone and Sissy Spacek. Fraser plays a man born and raised in a nuclear fallout shelter, who finally leaves it after 35 years, and sets out to explore the real world. A yet another movie that compares the contemporary moral values with those from the 1950's. But unlike "Pleasantville", it takes a purely reactionary position. Silverstone's acting ability revolves around one existential question: to pout or not to pout.
