In this loopy, pun-laden comedy, Max Block, a police detective who's as hard as nails but not as sharp, finds himself on the trail of a serial killer named Trojan. The cast includes Terence Goodman as Block, David Cale as the murderer, Frank Gorshin as the chief of police, and "Uncle Floyd" Vivino) as a pathologist. Rock music fans will want to keep an eye peeled for supporting performances from Ramones vocalist Joey Ramone and Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

An alternative to the general run of "triumph over the odds" biopics, My Left Foot is the true story of Irish cerebral palsy victim Christy Brown. Paralyzed from birth, Brown (played by Hugh O'Conor as child and Daniel Day-Lewis as an adult) is written off as retarded and helpless. But Christy's indomitable mother (Brenda Fricker) never gives up on the boy. Using his left foot, the only part of his body not afflicted, Brown learns to write. He grows up to become a well-known author, painter, and fundraiser, and along the way falls in love with nurse Mary Carr (Ruth McCabe). There's no sugarcoating in My Left Foot: Brown, a heavy drinker, was by no means lovable. Day-Lewis and Fricker both won Academy Awards for their performances, and the film was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Also notable are the late Ray McAnally in his next-to-last film role as Christy's father, and venerable Cyril Cusack as Lord Castlewelland. Director Jim Sheridan co-scripted with Shane Connaughton from Christy Brown's autobiography. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
