One
Night Stand (1997)
Drama
ONE NIGHT STAND is director Mike Figgis's morality play
about casual sex in the age of AIDS. Max Carlyle (Wesley Snipes)
travels to see his old friend Charlie (Robert Downey, Jr.) in
New York and winds up in an act of infidelity with a beautiful
stranger named Karen (Nastassja Kinski). Max's one night stand
is not a source of fear or guilt, but rather a crisis that leads
him to question the life he's built and is so easily convinced
to betray. That life, as a family man and director of shallow
commercials in Los Angeles, is best embodied in his demanding
wife Mimi, a Hollywood socialite who only connects with her
husband on apparently superficial levels. Mimi is played by
Ming-Na Wen, who steals the show in her supporting role (except
when Robert Downey, Jr. is on the screen, stealing the show even
more in his supporting role as Max's friend, who is dying of
AIDS). Making subtle use of his multiracial cast,
writer-director Mike Figgis has crafted a dramatic tale about
love, sex, and betrayal.

Jungle
Fever (1991)
Drama
Spike Lee's drama is a complex, multilayered, and volatile
look at interracial romance in present-day New York City.
Flipper Purify (Wesley Snipes), an up-and-coming African
American architect, seems to have it all: a successful career, a
nice apartment on a renovated street in Harlem, a beautiful,
intelligent wife whom he adores, and a bright, loving daughter.
The last thing he expects is to find himself in an affair with a
blue-collar Italian American from Bensonhurst. But soon after
Angie Tucci (Annabella Sciorra) comes to work in his office, the
two end up staying late together and having intimate talks over
takeout Chinese food. Inevitably a romance begins, leaving
Flipper and Angie caught up in the fury and suspicion of the
racial prejudice of their families and friends. As their lives
unravel, so does their affair, and they wonder if their
relationship ever had a chance from the beginning. As usual with
Lee, he isn’t content to tackle simply one issue in his
films--in JUNGLE FEVER, he addresses, for perhaps the first
time, the drug epidemic in the African American community. In
this subplot, Samuel L. Jackson plays Gator, Flipper’s
crackhead brother, with an intensity that is almost too painful
to watch.

King
of New York (1990)
Drama and Crime/Gangster
Christopher Walken stars as Frank White, an ultracool crime
boss, in this moody gem from director Abel Ferrara. Released
from a long stint in jail, White rejoins his devoted gang, which
includes the trigger-happy Jimmy Jump (Laurence Fishburne), Test
Tube (Steve Buscemi), and his attractive attorney girlfriend,
Jennifer (Janet Julian). Setting up headquarters in Trump Plaza,
they start wiping out members of rival mobs in a bid to take
back the streets and indulge in lots of cocaine and sex, but
ultimately White has more noble ambitions, such as giving a
fortune in drug money to charity. David Caruso, Victor Argo, and
Wesley Snipes costar as a group of bitter cops who don’t buy
Frank’s change of heart and decide to go outside the law to
take him down. Poetic, sexy, funny, somber, and very violent,
this critical hit cemented the rep of Ferrara and has earned a
strong cult following. Bozan Bajelli serves as director of the
arresting cinematography, which is full of rich shadows and
gold, blue, and red hues. For fans of films such as THE
GODFATHER and SCARFACE, this is essential viewing.

Mo'
Better Blues (1990)
Drama
Spike Lee ventures into the world of jazz music with this
stylish romantic drama. Forced by his mother to study the
trumpet, Bleek Gilliam (Denzel Washington) has grown up to
become the leader of a successful jazz quintet. Managed by his
inept friend, Giant (Lee), Bleek clashes with fellow band member
Shadow Henderson (Wesley Snipes). Making matters worse is
Bleek’s romantic situation: trying to balance two different
women at the same time--schoolteacher Indigo Downes (Joie Lee)
and aspiring singer Clarke Bentancourt (Cynda Williams). In a
hysterical moment, the line is blurred when, while making love,
Bleek calls each woman by the other’s name. As he struggles to
keep the quintet alive and flourishing, he must decide once and
for all what it is he really wants: Indigo, Clarke, or his
trumpet. The son of jazz musician Bill Lee, who contributes
music to the film, Lee has written a script that crackles with
witty behind-the-scenes banter that feels natural and fresh.
Ernest R. Dickerson’s camera moves at an even brisker pace
than in other Lee films, which compliments the bouncy
soundtrack, making MO’ BETTER BLUES an entertaining ride.

that she has hired, though, decide that if they really pull

Wildcats
(1986)
Comedy
Director Michael Ritchie heads to the gridiron for this
good-natured comedy about Molly (Goldie Hawn), the daughter of a
famed football coach who's dying to head her own team. When her
wish is finally granted, Molly leaves her job coaching girl's
track at an affluent junior high to take over a football team at
an inner-city high school--the kind of place where guard dogs
are needed to patrol the campus. At first the new coach’s
idealism and optimism are suffocated with racial and gender
prejudice, but eventually her overriding spirit begins to whip
her unruly teammates into shape. At the same time, she must also
struggle to win a battle for the custody of her two young
daughters.
Ritchie’s experience combining action with comedy is on full
display in WILDCATS, trading off tackles and jokes with a
naturalism and ease that is universally crowd pleasing. The film
also features a successful blend of veteran and rookie actors,
including Nipsey Russell, Swoosie Kurtz, Woody Harrelson, and
Wesley Snipes. However, it's Hawn who steals the show--as
usual--as the determined and motivated Molly. Her uncanny
ability to be humorous and dramatic within the same scene is
what makes the film such an entertaining ride. |
