The Caveman's Valentine (2001)



A cave-dwelling man sets out to track down the killer of a homeless boy, and bring him to justice.

Somewhat off-kilter crime drama never really takes off, and Jackson's performance is quite over-the-top.

Maltin*1/2: "Strange, unappealing film has almost nothing to recommend it."

The Breakfast Club (1985)

 
 
Five high school students meet in Saturday detention and discover how they have a lot more in common than they thought. 
 
Unusual teenage drama staged as a one-room ensemble play; some moments are silly and unnerving (they're teens, after all), but otherwise a quite impressive movie.
 
Halliwell (no star): "Abysmal apologia for loutish teenage behaviour."
 
Maltin**1/2: "A bold experiment in the era of teen raunch movies (written and directed by a man who's made more than his share)...Alternately poignant, predictable, and self-important, but filled with moments of truth and perception."
