Stand by Me (1986) 88% 8/10 EDIT “Everything about "Stand by Me" -- its sound track, its landscape, even its hilarious vomiting scene -- is wonderful stuff, and Reiner's touching, elegiac adult film about children is obviously a labor of love.” – Detroit Free Press Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% 4/10 EDIT “The action's utterly predictable.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 16, 2025 Full Review A Soldier's Story (1984) 91% 9/10 EDIT “Powerful, upbeat entertainment despite a serious message. Howard Rollins is splendid.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Razor's Edge (1984) 47% 5/10 EDIT “Comedian Bill Murray's first attempt at dramatic acting has serious flaws.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Places in the Heart (1984) 90% 9/10 EDIT “John Malkovich gives an Academy Award-caliber performance, and a fine cast make this an extraordinary film experience.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Gods Must Be Crazy (1981) 86% 8/10 EDIT “A weird, enchanting, utterly original movie. ” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Give My Regards to Broad Street (1984) 22% 4/10 EDIT “Paul McCartney's first movie in 14 years has no passion, no energy, no electricity.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Firstborn (1984) 40% 7/10 EDIT “A bit too violent; otherwise, there's plenty of truthful moments in this sad-eyed look at life in the '80s.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Country (1984) 100% 8/10 EDIT “This beautifully photographed film is occasionally undermined by dramatic overkill and an excess of rhetoric, but a fine cast and a serious story make it worth seeing.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Choose Me (1984) 95% 8/10 EDIT “A quirky, sexy, extremely intense and occasionally hilarious slice of low-life.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Body Double (1984) 78% 4/10 EDIT “Brian De Palma's much-heralded film is much ado about not very much, a good idea that opens strong and goes wrong within minutes.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review American Dreamer (1984) 29% 7/10 EDIT “Jobeth Williams and Tom Conti make a dandy duo in this action-adventure-fantasy-romance souffle. ” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review All of Me (1984) 85% 8/10 EDIT “It's a spiritual marriage made in heaven -- funny, sexy and loving.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Terminator (1984) 90% 2/10 EDIT “Violent, implausible and dumb.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Desert Hearts (1985) 77% 8/10 EDIT “Desert hearts is joyous and outrageous -- an original with a beat all its own. ” – Detroit Free Press Oct 12, 2025 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% 9/10 EDIT “The movie's brainy style is a thrill.” – Detroit Free Press Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) 78% 6/10 EDIT “If your tolerance for whimsy is at low ebb, see something else. Otherwise, take the kids and leave your sanity at the door. ” – Detroit Free Press Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Superman III (1983) 31% 2/10 EDIT “Superman III might have been impressive 10 years ago -- but after Star Wars and Close Encounters -- indeed even after Superman and Superman II -- this piece of tedious malarkey just won't do. ” – Detroit Free Press Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Day of the Dead (1985) 61% 5/10 EDIT “It's too talky, and, with few exceptions, it's difficult to like the characters.” – Detroit Free Press Jun 25, 2025 Full Review The Karate Kid Part II (1986) 49% 6/10 EDIT “Karate II is just an attractive adventure story with a karate twist.” – Detroit Free Press May 27, 2025 Full Review The Karate Kid (1984) 81% 5/10 EDIT “A karate film wise enough to teach that trust, patience and hard work eventually do pay off, that things are rarely what they seem, and that karate teaches more than self-defense. ” – Detroit Free Press May 27, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 83% 6/10 EDIT “Despite spotty dialogue "Starman" sweeps audiences along in its good-humored current.” – Detroit Free Press May 13, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% 8/10 EDIT “Return of the Jedi is terrific fun. Comic-book fun? Sure. But when that theme music starts up, you get shivers down your spine.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Back to School (1986) 81% 4/10 EDIT “The screenplay...is proof that too many comics spoil the froth.” – Detroit Free Press Feb 27, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% 8/10 EDIT “What a remarkable pleasure it is to see an intelligent, sensitive, moving, politically astute and loving film made for teenage audiences.” – Detroit Free Press Feb 14, 2025 Full Review
