FUN MOVIE REVIEW GAME*
*: not actually fun
Below are the names of five movies from the '90's that I recently watched via our handy little On Demand thing. Further below are five short reviews that each describe my opinion on one of these movies. Whoever first guesses which reviews apply to which movies will win the last month's worth of the New Yorker. Or the Sporting News. Or In Touch. Or some other magazine that we subscribe to. There are about twenty of them. It's your call!
1. Mallrats
2. Swingers
3. Kazaam
4. 200 Cigarettes
5. Heavenly Creatures
A. Flat-out awful, and, surprisingly, not in a fun way.
B. I liked this much better than I did ten years; first movie I ever saw at the Tate.
C. I loved it just as much as I did ten years ago; it's still the best overall film by this director.
D. I can't believe I've defended this movie for so long. Almost awful; a couple performances are really good.
E. Interesting idea, horrible execution.
Answer in the comments, of course.
