Ninja III: The Domination

Don't ask why Ninja III: The Domination begins with a ninja assault on a municipal golf course. Just be grateful it does. You also may wonder why its sex scene employs a can of V8: Don't question it. Just lie back and enjoy it.

Lifeforce

Tobe Hooper got a raw deal. The director of horror hits The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Poltergeist didn't deserve to be sent to movie jail for 1985's Lifeforce. It's a well-crafted, well-intentioned work that was mismarketed and misunderstood, losing a bundle of money and soon sending Hooper into the lands of episodic television and direct-to-video features.

Dead Souls

With Dead Souls, we can prove something about the Chiller cable network's original features that Remains could not: Source material is not to blame for their pervasive generic nature — it's the economy, stupid.

The Philadelphia Experiment

There's a theory about remakes that perhaps Hollywood should stop remaking good movies and instead remake the bad ones, so that they may be improved. The problem with that theory is one runs the risk of the remake being bad, too. Case in point: The Philadelphia Experiment.

Reviewer's grade: A

 

Dat ol' devil Michael Moore is back with another quasi-documentary about what he sees as in ill in American society: our health-care system. Is it broken? He makes a good case for a "yes" answer, but as always with Moore, the movie is more propaganda than objective. But so what? You know what you're in for when you take your seat.

 

All the bad things you've heard about Moore may be true, but they're insignificant if he's on the right track and he can make you think about your HMO before that test comes back positive and your coverage becomes invalidated because you didn't mention on your application form that you had a yeast infection in 1978. Yep, that happened to someone interviewed in the movie.

 

The picture is not made up just of continuing tales of woe; it's also pretty funny, if much of the humor is ironic. See it with a health insurance salesman you love. PG-13
