A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “It's the kind of work that gives the phrase "middle-brow entertainment" a good name.” – Los Angeles Daily News Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Hard-Boiled (1992) 92% 8/10 EDIT “A classic collection of memorable, feverish lunacy.” – Los Angeles Daily News Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) 83% EDIT “Scripting is competent and clever, as good as if not better than your average live-action action flick. Shirley Walker contributes effectively operatic music. Still, the mayhem level here may give parents pause. ” – The Hollywood Reporter May 23, 2023 Full Review Miracle in Lane 2 (2000) EDIT “The fact that the film stars Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz as Justin Yoder not only makes it a must-see for young viewers but also a richly entertaining one for all ages.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Sep 11, 2019 Full Review EDIT “In a nutshell: A few laughs, but for Ullman fanatics only.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Street Fighter (1994) 11% EDIT “De Souza's wit, which gave his earlier action scripts a tart edge, has failed him here. He pitches this entire movie at the sub-literate set that, with glassy eyes, unthinkingly pumps quarter after quarter into video games.” – Los Angeles Times Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Empire Records (1995) 35% EDIT “The biggest audience laugh at a recent showing came when a guy deadpanned, "This movie speaks for our generation." The sun can't set too soon on this Empire.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Homegrown (1998) 44% EDIT “"Homegrown" provides more of a contact high than the real thing.” – Los Angeles Times Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Spice World (1997) 35% EDIT “A movie about four months too late to endure in the pop-culture annals and about four stars too short to be a four-star movie.” – Los Angeles Times Jun 21, 2016 Full Review Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (1994) 80% EDIT “Jungle Book entertains in a way both contemporary and traditional.” – Los Angeles Times Apr 15, 2016 Full Review Almost Heroes (1998) 5% EDIT “All we're left with is a lame script and dithering direction, a lethal combination.” – Los Angeles Times Jul 15, 2014 Full Review My Name Is Bruce (2007) 41% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's an affably goofy riff on the headaches associated with being America's most underappreciated actor.” – Los Angeles Daily News Dec 19, 2008 Full Review The Class (2008) 95% 4/4 EDIT “Exhilarating in its simmering, quiet brilliance.” – Los Angeles Daily News Dec 19, 2008 Full Review Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008) 70% EDIT “Cyrus' fans will receive this material as Moses received those tablets from Mount Sinai.” – Los Angeles Daily News Feb 4, 2008 Full Review The Last Mimzy (2007) 55% 3.5/4 EDIT “A family film combining metaphysical issues, mind-bending special effects and children realizing how dissolute our society is becoming? Sounds like a movie for precocious stoners.” – Los Angeles Daily News Mar 23, 2007 Full Review The Matador (2005) 75% 3/4 EDIT “The Matador feels like a cult gem that just might be able to target a larger audience weary of this season of self-important awards magnets.” – Los Angeles Daily News Jan 3, 2006 Full Review Casanova (2005) 44% 2.5/4 EDIT “Had the filmmakers aspired to match Ledger's sensibility, Casanova might have been something more than a frothy, forgettable diversion; as is, many should enjoy its carefully calculated manipulations.” – Los Angeles Daily News Dec 27, 2005 Full Review Fun With Dick and Jane (2005) 30% 2/4 EDIT “It's formless and toothless and, most critically, not all that fun.” – Los Angeles Daily News Dec 21, 2005 Full Review Chrystal (2004) 80% 2.5/4 EDIT “While some of the low-key atmospherics are effective, and Thornton suffers with exquisite quietude, some important scenes unfortunately are clumsily staged.” – Los Angeles Daily News Jun 10, 2005 Full Review Howl's Moving Castle (2004) 88% 3.5/4 EDIT “No amount of description can prepare you for the visceral nature of the visual astonishments Miyazaki has created.” – Los Angeles Daily News Jun 10, 2005 Full Review Spanglish (2004) 54% 2.5/4 EDIT “Here, however, [Brooks'] efforts aren't so finely calibrated.” – Los Angeles Daily News Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Blade: Trinity (2004) 24% 2/4 EDIT “Blade Trinity seems a smidgen too jazzed by its extravagant cruelty.” – Los Angeles Daily News Dec 8, 2004 Full Review Birth (2004) 42% 3/4 EDIT “[Bright's] gravity makes the story not as queasy as it might otherwise seem.” – Los Angeles Daily News Oct 29, 2004 Full Review Friday Night Lights (2004) 82% 3.5/4 EDIT “Friday Night Lights scores.” – Los Angeles Daily News Oct 8, 2004 Full Review Daddy Day Care (2003) 28% 1/4 EDIT “Anyone who finds this movie funny can get the same entertainment for free at a local playground.” – Los Angeles Daily News May 9, 2003 Full Review
