Mike and John continue their review of 1994 with the week of film releases from the week ending February 4. Among the contenders that week was "My Father, the Hero," which was supposed to launch the American career of Gerard Depardieu with much fanfare...except it released against the unstoppable freight train of Jim Carrey in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective."

The week also included "Silent Tongue," River Phoenix's last released screen appearance, "I'll Do Anything" with Nick Nolte, Italian film "Fiorile," and "Romeo is Bleeding" with Gary Oldman.
