Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “There's some irresistible about the film's central symbiotic relationship.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jan 21, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “For all its talk of honor, integrity and what it takes to be one of the military's few good men, "A Few Good Men" is really just a darn good actors' showcase. This isn't a subtle movie or even an especially profound one. It's simply superb entertainment.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “Somewhere, the gay, innocent and heartless spirit of the real Peter Pan is laughing aloud at this massively produced paean to make-believe. And wondering if the children of the '90s will ever make it to his island.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% EDIT “John Carpenter has turned Stephen King's horror story into a pure joyride that's more funny than frightening and quite entertaining.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Big Top Pee-wee (1988) 31% EDIT “The movie is pure cotton candy -- fluffy and colorful and melt-away tasty.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dec 11, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “Mr. Cameron has enough imagination and know-how to wash over most of the movie's weaker spots.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dec 10, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “True trash. Too long, too loud and too expensive, this action farce is a pointless exercise in abuse of power, Hollywood-style. ” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% EDIT “As a movie, "Terminator 2" is good enough. But as a special-effects display, it's spectacular.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Terminator (1984) 90% EDIT “For what it is -- mindless entertainment with a heavy emphasis on mayhem -- The Terminator is great stuff.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “On stage, "The Wiz," had a kind of funky charm. On the big screen, under Sidney Lumet's ponderous direction, the funk has turned to junk and the charm is flatter than what's left of the Wicked Witch of the East after Dorothy's smashing arrival.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 18, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% EDIT “This man-hunt-man plot has been around for decades, but I don't think it's ever been done as badly as in this near-future foolishness.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Predator 2 (1990) 36% EDIT “This one confuses edge-of-your-seat with in-your-face.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Dracula (1979) 64% EDIT “Overall, it's a classy treatment of a classic.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Re-Animator (1985) 88% EDIT “"Re-Animator" is an outrageous gross-out movie, but it's never out of control.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Desert Hearts (1985) 77% EDIT “This first feature by former documentarian Donna Deitch is an old-fashioned love story that just happens to be about two women. ” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 12, 2025 Full Review My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) 95% EDIT “Remains a movie that's less than the sum of its promising parts. Not enough comes out in this wash, and that's too bad because certainly all the ingredients are there. ” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 10, 2025 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% 4/5 EDIT “A mesmerizing exploration of how cinema and society have dealt with gays and lesbians for the last century; it is an amazing prism through which straights may see "the other" and, better still, see ourselves both in "the other" as other. ” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “"Tron" is marvelous to look at and has all the personality of a computer print-out.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 5, 2025 Full Review The Thing (1982) 85% EDIT “Carpenter is still a master of dread and I don't think anyone will walk out of "The Thing" without having been genuinely frightened at least once.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% 1.5/4 EDIT “...for a film so obviously aimed at the preschool set, the script is alarmingly cavalier about subjects like death, life-after-death and spirituality. ” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% C- EDIT “Like Anderson's debut film, Hard Eight, Boogie Nights has no second half. Instead, as Eddie's star falls and the porn biz goes home to video, each characters gets some absurd TV-movie vignette to act out.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 24, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% EDIT “Part of the movie's allure is its bracing unpredictability. One minute, it's an outlandishly comic tall tale; the next, it's a tragic family squabble.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Hard Eight (1996) 82% D+ EDIT “Though you may be pleasantly pulled along by the noirish cinematography and cool jazz score, Hard Eight is still a sucker bet, a movie that's all set-up and no follow-through.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Night of the Living Dead (1990) 57% EDIT “It's entertaining and well-done. It just doesn't have the nightmarish jolt of the original.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 17, 2025 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% EDIT “"This is Spinal Tap" is too funny to be true and, every so often, too true to be funny.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 9, 2025 Full Review
