Nikita (1990)
Here's my take.
Point of No Return vs. Nikita
Point of No Return made me have a crush on Bridget Fonda for a week, while Nikita left me with a whole lot more. Point of No Return (remake of this film) was a typical American action movie, it was a good action movie, but it was missing the emotion that this one had. Harvey Keitel played Victor in Point of No Return, while Jean Reno does that here, Reno played a cleanup man (think Leon with emotion, he even laughs!), while Keitel played a killer with suitcases full of acid. Fonda plays Anne Parillaud's role of the criminal turned government killer, Fonda's character looked anemic, while Parillaud's looked downright sadistic. Even the lovers act differently; Fonda and Mulroney were great together in Point of No Return, Parillaud and Duret looked better together, not to mention more realistic. Besson (the director, writer) and Parillaud were married at one time, so that could be why this film told the story better.
Zoom (1997)
Great show!
It's a great show, I'm surprised no one has said anything about it yet. The kids have great chemistry with each other, and it helps a show this fun. The segments rely on submitted information, which is always cool for a kids show. The most recent season has been better than the previous seasons.
