Blockbuster season has officially arrived on the tails of this comet flick which kicks the season off with a sense of flair. The second weekend of May has in recent years become quite a lucrative spot in the summer action bonanza (read "Twister" and "The Fifth Element"). With considerable flair and a great trailer, "Deep Impact" will undoubtedly uphold the tradition and try to make as much money as it can before "Armageddon" and "Godzilla" trample into a theater near you.

Katy Keller '99 has a distinction that not many Dartmouth students can claim. She has had her film, "Safari," shown in three film festivals over the past few weeks: the New England Film Festival, the Ann Arbor Film Festival and the Association Internationale du Film d'Animation (ASIFA) Festival.

It is no coincidence that "The Sweet Hereafter" is on over 250 critics lists for the top 10 movies of 1997. Very few films are able to achieve the level of greatness that it reaches. "The Sweet Hereafter" -- showing Sunday night in Spaulding Auditorium -- is an extraordinary film that should be seen by anyone who wants quality fare.

Tonight, George Griffin '65 will be presenting his one man show, "The World of George Griffin" at the Hopkins Center. Griffin has been termed by Film Studies Professor David Ehrlich as "the leader in the '70s of the American independent animators movement."

There was a certain point where this movie just fell apart. I think it was Elliot Gould vomiting on Lou Diamond Phillips in the middle of a kosher meal in the midst of a hostile shoot out. This movie is all over the map.

Opening with beautiful imagery of rural Vermont, "A Stranger in the Kingdom" starts off promisingly and then sadly falls flat. Directed by Jay Craven, this film tries to create suspense, tension and whimsy, but its fundamentally flawed screenplay full of two-dimensional characters leaves little more than cliched melodrama.

This spring, the independents are invading. The Dartmouth Film Society's new series, simply named "The Indies," will showcase 28 independent films which all express the freedom and creativity filmmakers find when not bound entirely to the Hollywood system.

This year's Academy Award nominations have officially brought Hollywood back to the spotlight after being upstaged by smaller, independent films in 1996. Leading the pack is the gargantuan record-breaking box office and critical hit, "Titanic," a film that has single-handedly returned faith to the Hollywood system. The blockbuster is expected to sweep the Oscars, but should it?

It's a sunny day in Mexico when this film begins. Shiny blue water shimmers on the screen and two lovers frolic at a beach resort. By the end, things have become significantly darker and ominous. So goes the aptly named "Twilight," a film where light and dark intermingle throughout every scene.

"Desperate Measures" plays like one of those movies that might appear on television one Sunday afternoon. It is good enough to be entertaining for two hours, but easily forgotten when it is over.

The musical workings of that famous duo, Gilbert & Sullivan, will be coming to Spaulding Auditorium tonight and tomorrow night in a festive production of "The Gondoliers".

"Standby. House to half. House out." The audience settles as the lights dim, the curtain opens and the play begins.

Charles Dickens's literary classic has been retooled for the nineties in "Great Expectations," an ambitiously sleek and uneven romance.

Over the years, Stanley Kubrick has earned a reputation for being one of the great masters of the cinema. He has found critical, popular and cult success with his films which often are considered classics in their genres.

Somewhere deep inside Steven Spielberg's latest film "Amistad" is a very compelling story that deserves to be told. Unfortunately, it is lost in a melee of poor performances, simplistic writing, sanctimonious preaching and an ultimately boring narrative. "Amistad" is the biggest disappointment of 1997.

Making a top 10 movie list was very hard this year. 1997 offered a great variety of strong, well made movies. Hollywood, after being nearly left out of the Oscars last year, rebounded with several entertaining, high-quality films.

It seems like the politically correct movement has spawned a backlash of sorts, or at least with Ralph and Reggie, the two authors of the book "Macho Meditation."
