Clockstoppers
Who hasn't fantasized about being able to stop time and move things  around? A watch with this power drops into the hands of Zak (Jesse  Bradford), a teenager who yearns for speed. He uses it to impress  Francesca (Paula Garces), the beautiful girl he's got a crush on, but soon  they both find themselves running from a government agency led by a  ruthless executive (Michael Biehn fromThe Terminator) who wants  the watch at all costs.Clockstopperssuffers from a lack of any  internal logic, but the basic idea fuels a reasonably swift story and some  decent special effects. The soundtrack is unusually strong, with pop  offerings from Blink 182, Sugar Ray, Smash Mouth, and others. Also  featuring French Stewart (Love Stinks) as a hapless scientist and  Julia Sweeney (It's Pat,God Said "Ha!") as Zak's mother.--Bret Fetzer
