Scatalogical humor nearly derails what is a very clever Bond spoof. (It does torpedo the sequels) May have ruined Thunderball, but worth it.

#140RVW: Mousehunt (1997)
If Verbinski got his start in tv commercials, why are his movies always overlong? Great physical acting by Lane & Evans. Needed more mouse.

#140RVW: Jackie Brown (1997)
Tarantino’s 1st adaptation – good choice; his style blends nicely with Leonard’s. As follow-up to Pulp Fiction favors well; more breezy fun.

#140RVW: Starship Troopers (1997)
What a dreadful movie. Got dragged to by buddy who loved the book. We sat in back & shouted “Doogie!” every time NPH showed up. Who knew…
#140RVW: As Good As It Gets (1997)
Jack’s smug mugging fails to ruin James L Brooks’ master class, but it’s a close thing. Brooks is money. Hollywood, more Helen Hunt, please!
