Freeman, K. Todd

• Cider House Rules, The (1999)

  [6/10]

  "Movies often use an innocent outsider like Homer to bring the viewer a new perspective of contemporary issues. The Cider House Rules effectively uses this cliched character to present its pro-abortion agenda. As Homer falls in love (and has sex), he must adjust his views on abortion, especially when faced with the implications of the unwanted pregnancies of Rose, a fellow apple picker. "

• Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)

  [9/10]

  "The story combines hit men, romance, fights, explosions, and comedy. And all this accompanied by well chosen music from the 1980s."

  Average score: 7.50
