The Doors (R)
Oliver Stone proves once and for all that he is the
most obnoxious, self-centered, pretentious
director inHollywood. This is his story of Jim
Morrison. If it weren't for the good music and the
fact that Val Kilmer really looks like the Lizard
King, then this would be a total waste. Don't
