The American President (1995) 90% EDIT “Besides its sweet charm, The American President does capture the hectic White House pace before dinners and briefings. Most of all, it gives us Annette Bening.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% EDIT “Reiner has outdone himself. He has taken William Goldman's The Princess Bride and made it into a movie for all ages, and by that I mean it will entertain us forever and appeal to all of us. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) 84% 4/5 EDIT “This is perhaps the most enjoyable and certainly the most literate of the movie episodes. With allusions to Shakespearean drama and sharp parallels to the brave new world we live in, the film is often as funny and clever as it is engaging.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Dec 18, 2025 Full Review The Prince of Tides (1991) 69% 3/5 EDIT “It's a big, old-fashioned romantic melodrama with some touching moments and strong bits of acting.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Dec 18, 2025 Full Review JFK (1991) 85% 5/5 EDIT “It's propaganda all right, but it challenges, entertains and shocks us out of our complacency. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Dec 18, 2025 Full Review For the Boys (1991) 44% 3/5 EDIT “At best, this is loose, baggy, lighthearted, aimless diversion.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Dec 18, 2025 Full Review The Fisher King (1991) 84% 5/5 EDIT “A gloriously enchanting adult fairy tale with five performances worthy of nominations for the Academy Award, not to mention the film itself and director Terry Gilliam.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Father of the Bride (1991) 71% 3/5 EDIT “A promising comedy which runs out of ideas. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Cape Fear (1991) 77% 5/5 EDIT “This is a superbly taut and frightening chunk of suspense at once accessible and tinged with psychological complexity. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Bugsy (1991) 84% 4/5 EDIT “A dashing mix of atmosphere and plot with excellent performances from a supporting cast, including Ben Kingsley and Harvey Keitel. It's great fun -- candy for adults. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Dec 18, 2025 Full Review The Addams Family (1991) 67% 2/5 EDIT “Director Barry Sonnenfeld has given us a plotless movie and conspicuously avoided almost all chances to go wild and crazy.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% 3/5 EDIT “Lavish and leaden, it is a movie with the Spielberg genius but without the Spielberg magic. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Dec 18, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% EDIT “Once you accept what it is doing and take it for what it is, some of "Running Man" is fun to watch.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Toy Story (1995) 100% EDIT “Toy Story is a pure and entirely wonderful triumph. Take the kids. Take yourselves. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Darkman (1990) 80% EDIT “"Darkman" is far from being a masterpiece, but it is sometimes great fun. It's wild and zany, and it sends some delightful curves and some familiar whizzing at us.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% EDIT “You can watch Waterworld just to marvel at the ropes and coils that fly all over the place. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Jul 28, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) 88% EDIT “From the opening prologue, "The Naked Gun" is a steady riot of chuckles, guffaws and old-fashioned belly-laughs.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Jul 25, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) 77% EDIT “It is, to be blunt, about 80 percent as good as the original... [But] even working without one of its original cylinders, Naked Gun 2½ is packed with some hilarious scenes.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% EDIT “Doubtless, readers of the novel will have a quibble or two, but for a terrifically imaginative and dazzling summer movie, the thrills are hard to beat.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Supergirl (1984) 19% EDIT “Szwarc's movie is so tame, so utterly without sense that it must have been made by committee.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Jun 28, 2025 Full Review The Karate Kid Part II (1986) 49% EDIT “Karate Kid Part II lives on stale lines from old westers and jaded serials. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) May 27, 2025 Full Review The Karate Kid (1984) 81% EDIT “Adults will have a difficult time holding back snickers during the predictable scenes, but at the same time, The Karate Kid does pack some genuinely thrilling entertainment for younger audiences. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) May 27, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible II (2000) 58% EDIT “A hyped-up, much-ado-about-nothing fantasy, a pull-the-wool-over-the-audience's-eyes special. ” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) May 8, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 94% EDIT “"The Wedding Banquet" is a delicious comedy that gets more delightful by the minute.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Withnail and I (1987) 84% EDIT “We're in the right time, the right place. And we see the right kinds of people. But the fact remains that the observations and depictions are fragmented. Rarely do they amass any momentum.” – The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review
