True Romance

Tarantino’s tale of a clean Slater’s injection into criminal world is brilliantly crafted and expertly populate with the best bit parts that Walken, Oldman, Hopper, Pitt and others have ever done.  Turning Slater and Arquette 1 into empathetic charaster is a True Miracle.  Naturally born prequel to Stone’s killed romance.

Batman Forever

Schumacher’s warmup for even bigger flop features odd choice heroes but brilliant bad guys. Carrey finally finds his niche and Tommy’s two face, though worse scripted, seems a prophetic prediction of Ledger’s Joker. Comes complete with all the cheese and camp of comic books, but lacks heart of other films.

Heat

Father and son Corleone finally meet onscreen in the godfather of all bank heist films. Incredible cast and intricately woven multi-dimensional storyline raise the temperature far above that of a cops and robbers flick. 90s high point for every actor involved. Defined by cut coffee chat and intense city firefight.
