"Based on the memoir Rocket Boys by Homer H. Hickam Jr., October Sky emerged as one of the most delightful sleepers of 1999--a small miracle of good ol' fashioned movie-making in the cynical, often numbingly trendy Hollywood of the late 20th century. Hickam's true story begins in 1957 with Russia's historic launch of the Sputnik satellite, and while Homer (played with smart idealism by Jake Gyllenhaal) sees Sputnik as his cue to pursue ..."
"Rob Reiner, who used to be more interested in personal style as a filmmaker, continues to duck behind bland movies about important ideas with this based-on-fact film about the embattled white prosecutor (Alec Baldwin) who brought racist killer Byron De La Beckwith (James Woods) to justice after 30 years of failed attempts. Charged with the murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers, Beckwith slimes up the film pretty well via Woods's so ..."

"Manchmal ist eine wirkungsvolle Besetzung dem Gelingen eines Films nicht unbedingt zuträglich. Im Thriller Tödliches Vertrauen spielen John Travolta und Vince Vaughn die beiden Protagonisten, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Nachdem Travolta in Password: Swordfish einen schmierigen Bösewicht zum Besten gab, wirft er hier seinen ganzen Charme als netter Kerl von nebenan in die Waagschale. Als geschiedener Vater muss er seinen Ju ..."
"If you focus on the effective casting of John Travolta and Vince Vaughan, Domestic Disturbance may grab your attention as a thriller that hits too close to home. After playing a greasy villain in Swordfish, Travolta ably serves up the good-guy charm as a divorced father who must rescue his teenage son from a murderous new stepfather, played by Vaughan with bad-tempered relish. Director Harold Becker is worthy of better material (like hi ..."
