 The Bonfire of the Vanities 1990 R, 125 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Brian De Palma
Cast: Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, Kim Cattrall, Saul Rubinek, Morgan Freeman, John Hancock, Kevin Dunn, Clifton James, F. Murray Abraham
Brian De Palma directed this comedy/drama based on Tom Wolfe's novel. It stars Tom Hanks as a millionaire whose mistress kills a young black man with his car. Comfortable in the sedate world of Wall Street, he finds himself unable to cope with the life of a suspected criminal. Melanie Griffith is good as his self-involved mistress. This is a pretty good depiction of the problems evolving from racism, but overall it doesn't do justice to Wolfe's novel.

Off to the Midwest he goes with field agent Siri Tyler (Winona Ryder) and a film school student (Wilmer Valderrama) who is using Burrows for his thesis topic.

| | Roland Emmerich Strikes Again! | 1fatts 04/13/2009 | It is perfectly justifiable not to like Roland Emmerich movies. He seems to believe that subtlety involves using only a two-ton sledgehammer instead of a ten-ton sledgehammer, when a tack hammer will do.
He does to "the monster movie" in Godzilla what he did to "the alien movie" in Indpendence Day and would later do to "the ecology movie" in The Day After Tomorrow." Good special effects; a plot that comes out of a blender; and dialogue written by a ten-year-old and spoken with deep commitment to the "Omigosh, Batman!" school of acting.
But that's the fun of the thing. If you want more, don't spend the money. If you want to watch things blow up or crash or crack or whatever which make no more demands of your wit or intelligence than a Hardy Boys book, you can have some fun. It's like Jackie Chan movies with better special effects and no sense of humour. |
