North (1994) 12% EDIT “To knowing and cynical to be entirely for children, it's far too broad to satisfy most adults.” – Orange County Register Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Sure Thing (1985) 84% EDIT “Besides ruining his climax, Reiner wastes his two lead performances. ” – Boston Phoenix Jan 7, 2026 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “As an adventure story, The Abyss is pretty good.” – L.A. Weekly Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% 2/4 EDIT “In other words, you don't have to be much more than an everyday movie buff to find that what The Celluloid Closet has to say mostly goes without saying. ” – Orange County Register Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Toy Story (1995) 100% EDIT “In the movie, a bunch of toys come to almost flabbergasting life, performing for all the world like magically enlivened bits of plastic, as if they were modern-day Pinocchios. ” – Orange County Register Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 83% EDIT “Carpenter has won a small victory here. Instead of cynical manipulation or sardonic irony, he's given us the emotion that's been missing from popular entertainment.” – Boston Phoenix May 13, 2025 Full Review A Goofy Movie (1995) 64% EDIT “In the end, A Goofy Movie most likely would please under-10's...particularly those who enjoy good old-fashioned Goofy slapstick. And of course, the under-10 inside you might like it, too.” – Orange County Register Apr 1, 2025 Full Review An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991) 59% EDIT “The movie, though broader than Beauty and the Beast, is made with as much conviction and feeling. ” – L.A. Weekly Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% EDIT “One of the best retellings of the fairy tale in any format.” – L.A. Weekly Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Almost Famous (2000) 91% EDIT “In a movie full of good performances, [Frances McDormand's] stands out like an eagle among doves. ” – NPR's Fresh Air Mar 26, 2024 Full Review The Last of the Mohicans (1992) 88% EDIT “Anyone familiar with Mann's popular TV series, Miami Vice, should recognize the similarities wreaked here... The transformation of The Last of the Mohicans into Adirondack Vice is thus a successful and intentional disaster.” – Sight & Sound Dec 15, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist (1973) 78% EDIT “Director William Friedkin's crude technique, which is basically borrowed from carnival sideshows, looks cornier than ever. ” – NPR's Fresh Air Sep 28, 2023 Full Review Moulin Rouge (2001) 75% EDIT “An eye-popping spectacle, if finally, a cold and timid one.” – NPR's Fresh Air Sep 5, 2023 Full Review White Men Can't Jump (1992) 75% EDIT “[The] cleverly simple idea guarantees that the film is never less than amusing, and the casting of Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes, and particularly Rosie Perez, ensures that even the most exposition-laden lines crackle.” – Sight & Sound Aug 31, 2023 Full Review La Haine (1995) 96% 2/4 EDIT “Though its anger is heartfelt, Hate also is a polished and calculating film. Kassovitz has a lot of points he wants to make about France's frayed body politic, and he has used a slick, but ultimately artificial, semi-documentary style to make them.” – Orange County Register Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Heavenly Creatures (1994) 95% EDIT “This must be one of the most humane films ever made about a blood crime. ” – Orange County Register May 16, 2023 Full Review Boys on the Side (1995) 73% B- EDIT “The three make their strange-bedfellows friendship appear utterly plausible. In doing so, they give Boys on the Side a core of emotional authenticity and make it a forceful, if inelegant, tribute to female friendship.” – Orange County Register Mar 14, 2023 Full Review The Big Lebowski (1998) 79% C- EDIT “"Lebowski" is, as it turns out, a comedy, yet Joel and Ethan Coen, so adept at sneering at the shortcomings of others, have failed to put anything funny in the movie. ” – Orange County Register Jan 24, 2023 Full Review Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) 97% A EDIT “So go, enjoy. Your kids will love it. And so will you.” – Orange County Register Dec 19, 2022 Full Review Braveheart (1995) 76% C+ EDIT “Braveheart doesn't amount to much more than theatrical chest-thumping by Gibson. He clearly knows how to put a movie together, but he is going to have to get over himself before that knowledge does anyone any good. ” – Orange County Register Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Gladiator (2000) 80% C+ EDIT “There is a plot, but it is at once so derivative and so undernourished that it never really registers as a story. As far as it goes, it's "Spartacus Lite," minus that epic's moral grandeur. ” – Orange County Register Nov 1, 2022 Full Review Addams Family Values (1993) 76% B- EDIT “Unlike the main story, the camp portion builds steadily and cleverly to a nicely sabotaged pageant. But it wouldn't work without Ricci, who can really hold the screen. ” – Orange County Register Sep 21, 2022 Full Review The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1914) EDIT “Watching The Patchwork Girl of Oz is an exercise in nostalgia, but it’s of a high order, a passage right into Baum’s 19th-century imagination.” – Boston Phoenix Sep 14, 2022 Full Review They Live (1988) 86% EDIT “They Live's greatest virtues result from its uncommon bonding of dedicated workmanship and stylistic self-assurance.” – Los Angeles Reader Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Defending Your Life (1991) 92% EDIT “Funny and profound. This is a great film.” – Los Angeles Reader Aug 12, 2022 Full Review
