Out of the Past (1947) 87% EDIT “It takes a quick mind to follow the vastly complicated plot... but Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, Kirk Douglas and the others manage to keep things fairly well in hand.” – Associated Press Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% EDIT “It may well be the most pleasurable movie you'll see all year.” – Associated Press Jan 7, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “Courtrooms provide surefire movie drama and "A Few Good Men" presses all the buttons. Cruise turns masterful and Nicholson delivers the the desired testimony.” – Associated Press Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “Just when the nation needed it, Steven Spielberg and company have prepared a grand holiday gift for one and all. He calls it "Hook," in honor of Captain James Hook, pirate extraordinaire. Audiences will call it pure joy.” – Associated Press Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Big Top Pee-wee (1988) 31% EDIT “"Big Top Pee Wee" is a clever piece of pure entertainment.” – Associated Press Dec 11, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “James Cameron, whose Terminator 2 set a new standard for movie stunts, exceeds himself with True Lies. ” – Associated Press Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% EDIT “Never has the screen been filled with so much mind-blowing action.” – Associated Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “The songs are predictable, the decor overproduced. Surprisingly, Richard Pryor fails to score as the bogus Wizard. Sadly, Diana Ross is miscast.” – Associated Press Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Dracula (1979) 64% EDIT “A splendidly mounted and impressively acted version of the Bram Stoker classic. ” – Associated Press Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “The real star of "TRON" is the computer imagery as directed by Steve Lisberger. It is stunningly effective, producing shock and wonder by the megasecond.” – Associated Press Oct 5, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) 77% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's hard to dislike a movie in which the detective and the hit man battle it out with an electric toothbrush and a blow-dryer... The writing is erratic, but David Zucker's direction is on the money; the bum jokes fly past to make room for good ones.” – Associated Press Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Superman II (1980) 88% 3/4 EDIT “While by no means perfect, [Superman II] is far superior to the original.” – Associated Press Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% EDIT “Return of the Jedi is another gold mine in the galaxy from George Lucas and company.” – Associated Press Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% EDIT “Star Wars is a landmark film, a work of such soaring imagination that it will set standards for years to come. ” – Associated Press Apr 22, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “From a purely technical standpoint, the expense and the delay seem worth it. Never have space travel and the magnificence of space been portrayed with such convincing detail as in this Cinerama film. But in other respects, "2001" is a maddening riddle.” – Associated Press Apr 9, 2025 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% EDIT “Cary Fisher and Bruno Kirby play the best friends of Sally and Harry, and they match the excellence of the two stars. ” – Associated Press Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% EDIT “It is that rare achievement: a comedy and tear-jerker that works. ” – Associated Press Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Little Women (1994) 92% EDIT “The cast is impeccable, led by Winona Ryder as the leading figure and narrator. It is not a showy role, but she brings substance and credibility to the oft-told story.” – Associated Press Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Sabrina (1954) 89% EDIT “The film has whimsical moments, but the treatment is a little heavy for such light material. ” – Associated Press Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 65% EDIT “The best element in the film is John Travolta, whose magnetic presence dominates the film, just as in Saturday Night Fever. ” – Associated Press Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Macbeth (1971) 78% EDIT “The fiery Polish director, incorrigible English innovator and eminent American bunny master have wrought, indeed overwrought, a visually lush and dramatically dull film. ” – Associated Press Jul 21, 2023 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% EDIT “The casting was miraculous. Few newcomers can so dominate the screen as Whoopi Goldberg, heretofore a standup comic.” – Associated Press May 31, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) 84% EDIT “ You could play the cynic and say it is an outrageous piece of audience manipulation. Or, you could say that it is a thrilling exercise in pure cinema. Why not the latter?” – Associated Press May 1, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) 77% EDIT “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, first of all, is tremendous entertainment. Those seeking thrills and chills like the ones in Raiders of the Lost Ark will not be disappointed.” – Associated Press Apr 17, 2023 Full Review Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1992) 55% 3/4 EDIT “The result is enjoyable, if frenetic, entertainment, especially for sub-teens.” – Associated Press Mar 7, 2023 Full Review
