The Student Prince

How often do you think that you come within seconds of losing your life? Events collide to bring together circumstances where you have a moment to decide whether your life is forfeit. A finger waggle here or there may be all that it takes. HRH ( Rupert Penry-Jones), pubbing incognito, has poured a batch of pints down his neck and has to relieve himself. One of his table mates, Stabber (Trevor Fox), has followed to do the same but in the sink and provokes a confrontation. Barry Grimes (Robson Green), as bodyguard, proffers a warning and gets a kicking for his troubles. Barry pulls a pistol and gives Stabber a choice.

Liar Liar

It is a source of constant wonder to me to discover what might lure a woman into thinking that she wants to have her way with me. It doesn’t happen often but if the verbal skill of Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) is anything to go by, I should have gone to law school. Miranda’s (Amanda Donohoe) look of amazement and mirth as Fletcher stretches to story of Samantha Cole’s (Jennifer Tilly) circumstances and estrangement from her husband culminates in her seduction, biting Fletcher’s lower lip and leading him away.

My Best Friend's Wedding

Did you ever just want to break into song in public? I sure do. I only wish I could carry a tune.

George Downes (Rupert Everett) is at a wedding rehearsal dinner with his friend Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) who is attending the nuptials of Michael O’Neal (Dermot Mulroney) and Kimmy Wallace (Cameron Diaz). He starts into “I Say a Little Prayer” and each of the guests joins in until the whole table is singing along. I don’t know about you but I was singing along with them.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

Clones here, clones there. You can move without stumbling over one somewhere. But now that Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) is back after having himself cryogenically frozen and sent into space, his associates figure he needs a family and they have artificially created his son, Scott (Seth Green), using his frozen semen. But Scott resents his father’s absence forcing the two of them to attend a Jerry Springeresque ‘fathers and sons’ group therapy session.

Murder at 1600

Periodically, I see a scene that is so striking it stays with me forever. Such is the case in this movie when an overhead camera pans through a room and we see Cory Luchessi (Tony Nappo) polishing the large table with cloths under his hands and under his knees swimming across the screen.
