Month: May 1999

I’m not quite sure how to feel about Entrapment. On the one hand, I enjoyed it a helluva lot more than I was expecting to. On the other hand, it could have been a helluva lot better.

Director Adrian Lynes’s Lolita garnered lashings of controversy when it was released — barely — in 1997. It appeared on the big screen for about five minutes before the cable network Showtime ‘dared’ to screen it. I use the word dare lightly because Lolita just isn’t the kind of offensive garbage the unwashed masses would like to think it is — trash like Armageddon and Con Air is infinitely more insidious.
