Owning Mahowny
A fascinating and often spot-on look at the dark world of gambling addiction.
Pump Up the Volume
Pump Up the Volume is the kind of movie that hits home. It touches on real emotions and is a reminder of just how darn awkward it is to be a young adult.
Piranha
With more laughs than frights, it’s tough not to have at least a little fun in all of its natural badness.
Johnstown Flood
Johnstown Flood is the kind of movie I wouldn’t have minded watching in school. It concurrently educates and entertains. While it’s not perfect, it’s still a worthy introduction to an American tragedy.
Roger and Me
While not as good as Bowling for Columbine, Roger and Me does show delirious hints of what was yet to come.
