NINETEEN ninetyfour was business as usual at

Hollywood, or was it?

Disclosure and Oliver Stone s Natural Born Killers took the cake for different reasons In Disclosure Demi Moore tries to seduce Michael Douglas in this corporate thriller. Natural Born Killers follows the exploits of two serial killers across America Critics •rgue-ffiol Stone tried In on the sensational. J Simpsofi murder case to glorify killers

The first half of the year had some pretty interesting and diverse films The biggest was undoubtably Speed. A fast moving actlon/lhrlller that took place mostly on a bus. If that w-asn t enough to wet our appetite It was followed by Blown Away and The Specialist

Jack Nicholson was having a

go at being a Wolf And Robin Williams was a woman In Mrs Doubtfire

There was no disputing the fact in naming The Mask the hl tech-film-of-the-year. Even Time Cop does not come close even with Jaan-Claude Van Damme.

If Nicholson and Williams ' were having a swell time, tra dltional crowd-pullers — Arnold Schwarzenegger. Bruce Willis and Macaulay Culkin were banking on True Lies. Colour pl Night and Getting Even With Dad respectively

Of the three, only True Ues came out unscathed. But it did prove Schwarzenegger Is no comedian and his best bet is to stay with action roles.

Even when he was a pregnant genetic engineer in Junior he showed signs of de-

ficiency Luckily. Danny DeVito and Emma Thompson save the day.

Yes. it was another eventful year in Tinsel Town. But even with all its ups and downs the show as they say must go on.
