The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) 57% 2/4 EDIT “The debates around animal rights, the ecology and hunting are halfhearted. And the characters are completely uninvolving. Goldblum again wisecracks his way through a film without showing a genuine emotion.” – Baltimore Sun Jun 30, 2025 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% 3.5/4 EDIT “Hercules generously spreads its wit around, giving a talented cast of voices maximum opportunity to entertain. Again, Disney shows its knack for keeping adults chuckling and kids engrossed in the story. ” – Baltimore Sun Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Brassed Off (1996) 79% EDIT “The film is sentimental and its politics black-and-white. Still, "Brassed Off" is as rousing and immensely likable as a superb brass band, which the film is ostensibly about.” – Baltimore Sun Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Volcano (1997) 48% EDIT “You leave "Volcano" feeling a bit singed.” – Baltimore Sun Jan 7, 2019 Full Review Men in Black (1997) 91% EDIT “[Director Barry Sonnenfeld] establishes the premise in the wildly entertaining first 45 minutes and then glides along for the rest of the film on the strength of a poker-faced comic sensibility.” – Baltimore Sun Aug 12, 2014 Full Review A Smile Like Yours (1997) 6% 1/4 EDIT “On paper, infertility would seem a distasteful subject matter for light comedy. On screen, it only gets worse.” – Baltimore Sun Jul 22, 2014 Full Review Batman & Robin (1997) 11% 2.5/4 EDIT “Clooney manages to keep even these scenes afloat with consistent good humor and unforced charm.” – Baltimore Sun Jun 18, 2014 Full Review 'Til There Was You (1997) 5% 1/4 EDIT “Very little is amusing in all of this; the lighting is murky, the sound is mumbly, and will someone please tell the piano player to knock it off?” – Baltimore Sun May 5, 2014 Full Review Face/Off (1997) 93% 3/4 EDIT “Face/Off is a giant step for a filmmaker known more for action sequences than psychological insight.” – Baltimore Sun Aug 2, 2013 Full Review Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997) 4% 1.5/4 EDIT “Action heroes are best when they are charming, winsome and witty. Bullock is inane, annoying and whiny.” – Baltimore Sun May 28, 2013 Full Review
