Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1993) 17% 1/5 EDIT “Unlike the book, which retains some humanity amid philosophical digressions and flowery dialogue, Van Sant's film is cold and the gallery of eccentrics merely come across as vulgar caricatures.” – Empire Magazine Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Far and Away (1992) 51% EDIT “Howard's lifelong ambition to make a film about his Irish ancestry results in a light confection, full of sweeping overhead shots and predictable pulp-fiction intrigue.” – Time Out Oct 25, 2018 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 94% 3/5 EDIT “This tale of a marriage of convenience charms and amuses with strong comedic performances with a great script and some beautifully shot sequences.” – Empire Magazine Apr 4, 2012 Full Review Thelma & Louise (1991) 87% EDIT “Ultimately, this road movie calls on too many knee-jerk reactions: its shocking and funny scenes rely squarely on role reversals within a traditionally male genre.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) 84% EDIT “Jeffrey Boam's script dabbles with themes of neglect and reconciliation, but there's nothing ponderous about the duo's near death scrapes and light-hearted tussels over the same blonde Frulein.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Everybody's All-American (1988) 45% EDIT “Given the material, the performances are competent enough; but Hackford and cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt are too indulgent in creating a near-religion out of the characters' self-absorption.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% EDIT “[The movie has] an inconsistency of mood not helped by abrupt editing and Columbus' sometimes self-conscious direction.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Singles (1992) 79% EDIT “Crowe suffuses the film with tender humour and affection as the characters, most of them living in the same apartment block, swap stories, ponder sexual come-ons where none exist, and remain resolute in the face of emotional horrors.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review A League of Their Own (1992) 82% EDIT “Scriptwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel neglect the ensemble, emphasising a sense of historical occasion over character development.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Pelle the Conqueror (1987) 84% EDIT “Von Sydow towers above the rest of the cast with an immensely moving, tender depiction of a man cowed by age and servitude.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) 77% EDIT “More dizzying than the jumps between past and present is the speed with which consciousness-raised Evelyn swaps caricatures, evolving from Frump to Fighter.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review My Stepmother Is an Alien (1988) 20% EDIT “The film offers several entertaining sequences, but Splash it ain't, for while that film took a similar scenario and beautifully conveyed romantic notions of innocence, this is marred by cruel and juvenile gags.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “Reiner captures just the right level of physical tension, but for the most part wisely emphasises the mental duels. Terrific.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) 83% EDIT “This is extremely silly, good natured, superficial stuff; a lot depends on whether you take to Bill and Ted's unique lingo (which contorts surfers' expressions) and their gormless behaviour.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992) 67% EDIT “As the film progresses, malicious schemes and loony excesses are combined, with Hanson's self-conscious direction rendering one particularly sensational murder even more implausible.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Reversal of Fortune (1990) 92% EDIT “This is a strange, unsatisfactory mixture of satire and docudrama which engages the mind and leaves the emotions intact.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Talk Radio (1988) 84% EDIT “Champlain's distorted perspective is compelling, despite Stone's sometimes flashy direction as he attempts to wrest cinematic qualities out of the essentially stagey material.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Licence to Kill (1989) 79% EDIT “It's all very pacy, with the overly straightforward plotting dimmed but not obscured by the hi-tech effects.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) 46% EDIT “Between the dubbed dialogue and the dark visuals, the cumulative effect is curiously dislocating.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Postcards From the Edge (1990) 83% EDIT “Fisher's intelligence and humour turn what might have been movie brat indulgence into something much sharper and involving.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review A Midnight Clear (1992) 88% EDIT “The performances are uniformly excellent as the film moves inexorably towards bloody confrontation and spiritual reckoning.” – Time Out Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Driving Miss Daisy (1989) 85% EDIT “Far too cosy to serve as an effective social or political metaphor; better to regard it as a solid ensemble piece.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Enemies, a Love Story (1989) 89% EDIT “Mazursky conveys emotion without manipulation, sensitively distilling despair and self-hatred, but lifting the mood with dark humour.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review The Best Intentions (1992) 81% EDIT “With a running time of three hours, this weighty drama tests the most patient soul.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Field of Dreams (1989) 88% EDIT “Together with moments of dry humour and fine performances, the political element lends the film gravity sufficient to counterbalance any sense of whimsy. Pure magic.” – Time Out Jan 26, 2006 Full Review
