Feeling Minnesota *** (1996, Keanu Reeves, Vincent D’Onofrio, Cameron Diaz) – Classic Movie Review 1606

Feeling queasy, more like! Writer/director Steven Baigelman’s 1996 new-wave thriller is creditably ambitious and complex, if flawed and muddled – and no crowd-pleaser. Keanu Reeves and Vincent D’Onofrio star as grungy sibling rivals who start a […]

The Addiction **** (1995, Lili Taylor, Christopher Walken, Annabella Sciorra) – Classic Movie Review 1600

  Director Abel Ferrara’s rousing, moody, intelligent 1995 horror movie is a vampire parable, set in the 1930s. Lili Taylor is on scalding form as philosophy doctoral student Kathleen Conklin, who’s bitten by a female […]
