North (1994) 12% 1/4 EDIT “Movie people like to describe failure as "a learning experience." Rob Reiner's "North" should be worth a Ph.D. at least.” – Newark Star-Ledger Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The American President (1995) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The story may seem simple, but the filmmakers' showbiz sophistication shouldn't be underestimated. ” – Newark Star-Ledger Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “The director has achieved something elemental. By this point his three-part epic has moved off the screen and is projecting itself in our unconscious.” – Newark Star-Ledger Jan 13, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 3/4 EDIT “This is effective entertainment in a tradition about as old and rigid as the Marine Corps code.” – Newark Star-Ledger Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% 3/4 EDIT “Hook will entertain the easygoing, but others may feel more like Peter Banning as that smile is being wrenched onto his face.” – Newark Star-Ledger Dec 19, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 3/4 EDIT “As a comedy about marital misunderstandings and middle-aged blues, True Lies is Manhattan Murder Mystery with special effects in place of wisecracks.” – Newark Star-Ledger Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% 3/4 EDIT “Its breakneck chase scenes and slambang shock effects leave an audience feeling like road kill.” – Newark Star-Ledger Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% C EDIT “Despite a few spiffy optical effects and a chase through a funhouse-like secret laboratory, the movie never comes to life - or afterlife.” – Newhouse News Service Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Paul Thomas Anderson's high-velocity comedy-drama is overloaded, overdone and overambitious. But the approach is true to the volatile subject and makes a rousing relief from so many cautious, small-minded American movies of late.” – Newark Star-Ledger Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Toy Story (1995) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “More than merely a dazzling technical breakthrough, this comic fable is an exuberant family charmer.” – Newhouse News Service Sep 10, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% EDIT “Cannibal zombies are amusing up to a point, but after the first hundred or so their charm wears thin.” – Arizona Daily Star Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's madly watchable and utterly uninvolving. ” – Newhouse News Service Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Red Rock West (1993) 95% 3/4 EDIT “There's nothing new in "Red Rock West," but the cliches have been juggled with aplomb.” – Newhouse News Service Jul 15, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) 47% 1.5/4 EDIT “It's the audience that finds itself on the hook. ” – Newhouse News Service Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Jurassic Park is a technological marvel but not a fantasy classic. There's little shimmer of imagination or mystery. Fortunately, the flat characters are played by charismatic actors. ” – Newhouse News Service Jul 1, 2025 Full Review The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) 57% 2.5/4 EDIT “A half-dozen jolting moments and suspense showpieces are scattered over [the runtime], like cocktails doled out at a stingy party. Easygoing action audiences will be satisfied, but Spielberg shouldn't be.” – Newhouse News Service Jun 30, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park III (2001) 49% 3/4 EDIT “This go-round is fast-paced, good-looking and packed with big-ticket monsters. ” – Newhouse News Service Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Apollo 13 (1995) 94% 4/4 EDIT “Overcoming most of the inherent limitations of docudrama, Howard has launched a rousing entertainment that resonates with provocative questions about our national identity.” – Newhouse News Service Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Return to Oz (1985) 59% EDIT “"Return to Oz" is a strange and somber fable, fascinating for its refusal to be what anyone might expect.” – Arizona Daily Star Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Dirty Work (1998) 21% EDIT “For all the strained contortions of plot and motive, the movies gives us no reason to like its heroes.” – Newhouse News Service May 15, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “There's always enough going on to hold your attention. "Mission: Impossible" leaves you feeling vaguely entertained even if you can't be sure why.” – Newhouse News Service May 6, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “What I liked and still like is its gleeful raid on movie history, its blithe jumbling of pop myths and its sheer exuberant energy... What bored me then and bores me now is the New Age gobbledygook. ” – Newhouse News Service Apr 22, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 94% EDIT “The result is delicious entertainment, crammed with fresh and likable characters.” – Newhouse News Service Apr 15, 2025 Full Review A Goofy Movie (1995) 64% 2.5/4 EDIT “In all, "A Goofy Movie" feels like a half-hour or 50-minute TV special padded to feature length. But even the padding is comfortable.” – Newhouse News Service Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Scream 3 (2000) 45% 1.5/4 EDIT “By merging the Scream survivors with Hollywood actors impersonating them in a B-movie re-enactment, Scream 3 achieves double-edged idiocy, ” – Newhouse News Service Feb 20, 2025 Full Review
