Foiled Crimes

(04/11/02 4:00am)

Because Ashley Judd is not returning my phone calls, I went to see her new movie High Crimes. In this suspense-thriller, Judd plays Claire Kubik, a San Francisco attorney happily married to husband Tom (Jim Caziel). She becomes less happy when Tom, whose real name is "Ron Chapman," is suddenly arrested by the FBI and charged with the murders of nine civilians who died during his service in the Special Forces in El Salvador in 1988. Judd's husband claims he is the victim of a military conspiracy, so she finds "wild-card" military attorney Charlie Grimes (Morgan Freeman) to help prove Ron/Tom's innocence.


Greek Reeks

(03/28/02 5:00am)

Since the release of John Landis's classic, Animal House, many filmmakers have attempted to recreate the drunken mischief of collegiate greek life. The latest addition to the genre, Sorority Boys, is one of the more painful ones. Directed by Wally Wolodarsky, Sorority Boys is the story of Adam (Michael Rosenbaum), Doofer (Harland Williams) and Dave (Barry Watson), three guys who decide to cross-dress and pledge the "worst" sorority on campus Delta Omicron Gamma (get it?), in order to get back into their fraternity. Stupid? Yes. Funny? No.
