Plenty of fights and some hip humor in this average, but decent sequel to the 1990 hit.

Homicide (1991) **

Confusing police drama by David Mamet.

Hook (1991) *

Dustin Hoffman is excellent as Hook, but Robin Williams as an adult Peter Pan is a disappointment. Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell is even worse.

There Goes My Baby (1991) *

The 60's only began in the middle of that decade, when Watts riots and the Vietnam War had awaken the consciousness of the American youth. This nostalgic film deals with that crucial moment in history.

Father Of The Bride (1991) *

An inferior remake of the 1950 hit starring Elizabeth Taylor and Spencer Tracy.

Manipulative film about an abusive husband.

Mortal Thoughts (1991) *

Harvey Keitel steals the movie from Demi Moore and Bruce Willis.

The Neverending Story II (1991) *

A young boy tries to save the land of Fantasia from Emptiness. An extremely disappointing sequel. There is no story, no adventures and no plot twists - it's a complete travesty.

Rambling Rose (1991) *

Laura Dern is an unconventional young woman in a sleepy Southern town in the 1930's.

The Super (1991) *

Worthless film starring Joe Pesci as a slum-lord learning the errors of his ways.
