The book about the Onion Field murder case has been captured detail for detail, right down to the cars and locations, in this film, thanks to the author's insistence of keeping the truth intact. It's one of the, if not the, most accurate true crime movies ever shot. Yes, it's slow-paced and can deviate a lot from time to time but is uniformly excellent and meticulously crafted.

Malice is a solid, unpredictable thriller with one of the most Mamet-esque twists ever. The acting clinches the prize in making the film work by selling the story that's penned by the great Aaron Sorkin along with Scott Frank. So, kudos to all of the three lead thespians: Bill Pullman, Nicole Kidman, and Alec Baldwin who's handsome and most definitely at his physical peak in 1993.

Wrestling is one of the rare sports that anyone can beat anyone; it just takes focus and determination. The whole plot is wonderful and believable. I love the energy, and it's one of those feel-good films that aren't afraid to play around with serious questions. The best of them all is how realistic high school wrestling looks in Vision Quest.

The Boost is perfectly tailor-made for James Woods. It's a top five performance of his career. Nobody could've played the role of a charmingly smooth, fast-talking salesman better than him. His chemistry with Sean Young is electrifying, and the fallout of their real-life relationship was legendary during the late 80's that wouldn't stop there for her.

Al Pacino is captivating from start to finish. The funeral speech is one of the greatest scenes of his career. A lot of corruption is going on, and multi-million dollar deals are made between a couple of men in power because they happen to be friends and it's a favor either way. It only takes one bizarre shooting incident to bring them all down through a paper trail.

Sea of Love is a weird neo-noir. Sure, Al Pacino is excellent. He has nice chemistry with Ellen Barkin. John Goodman helps out. The story may be somewhat typical since it deals with a serial killer and there are red herrings along the way. Only the biggest question is: is it Ellen Barkin's character?

Starting off inconspicuously well, Mercury Rising sets up Bruce Willis' character as the ousted FBI agent who's scarred by the sight of two idiot teenagers killed in a botched bank robbery scheme. Then, I'm taken to Chicago to observe a boy with autism cracking a billion-dollar code that came from some obscure puzzle book. Finding out about it, the NSA honcho wants the boy killed because he can't bear the thought of his genius. Finally, the thrilling chase is on as soon as Bruce Willis saves the boy.
