Terminator 2: Judgment Day
The well-executed, action-packed sequel to the earlier film of the same name, with a great variety of action set-pieces, chases and quotable one-liners ("Hasta la vista, baby!") - it still remains one of the best action films of all time, and is one of the most influential sequels in Hollywood blockbuster history. -
Falsettos
In a theater year marked by signs of an American musical renaissance on Broadway and an explosion of American play writing off Broadway, "Falsettos" is a show in which the boundary separating Off Broadway and Broadway is obliterated, a show in which the most stylish avatars of the new American musical embrace the same thorny urban landscape of embattled men and women to be found in so many new American plays -
House, Rachel Whiteread - An Artangel commission
Denatured by transformation, things turn strange here. Fireplaces bulge outwards from the walls of House, doorknobs are rounded hollows. Architraves have become chiselled incisions running around the monument, forms as mysterious as the hieroglyphs on Egyptian tombs -

The Life
I'm somewhat amazed to report that this show about the low life vibrates with more energy and foot-tapping, hummable music than some of its more high profile predecessors on the Broadway scene. It may not be up to Cy Coleman's best shows though it's miles above The Will Rogers Follies and the book, (a collaboration with David Newman and Ira Gasman), is hardly a study of originality, but it's got pizazz and a definite point of view." - Elyse Sommer, Curtain Up -
