North (1994) 12% 2.5/4 EDIT “Wood's disarmingly funny performance paired with Reiner's irreverent gags make North a fun, harmless trip.” – Miami Herald Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Babe (1995) 98% 3/4 EDIT “Parents know all too well how kiddie films often ignore the folks buying the tickets. Babe bridges that gap with an inspired combination of innovative story-telling and polished special effects. This is what quality family entertainment is about.” – Miami Herald Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Forrest Gump (1994) 75% 3.5/4 EDIT “Loosely adapted from Winston Groom's satirical novel, Forrest Gump provides an incredibly rich and daffy historical pastiche.” – Miami Herald Mar 1, 2024 Full Review When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) 68% 2/4 EDIT “Manipulative and weepy, When a Man Loves a Woman often feels like a grueling therapy session.” – Miami Herald Sep 1, 2023 Full Review White Men Can't Jump (1992) 75% 1/4 EDIT “The name of the game is greed, and it's a shame that writer and director Ron Shelton couldn't muster an equally fitting tribute for basketball fans. ” – Miami Herald Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) 83% 2/4 EDIT “Like Burton's films, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm also has a distinctly dark, lurid feel to it... We've seen this gimmick before, although here it seems even more desperate. ” – Miami Herald May 23, 2023 Full Review Alma's Rainbow (1994) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “Directed by Ayoka Chenzira, Alma’s Rainbow intelligently explores the relationships among the three women as they grapple with their sexuality.” – Miami Herald Jan 10, 2023 Full Review Addams Family Values (1993) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Add to the crypt Addams Family Values, the illustrious and far superior sequel which picks up where the original left off.” – Miami Herald Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Go Fish (1994) 76% 2/4 EDIT “What makes Go Fish unique isn't its formula but its context. Fresh, modem and uninhibited, it may be the first light-hearted girl-meets-girl love story.” – Miami Herald Aug 25, 2021 Full Review Carrington (1995) 58% 2.5/4 EDIT “For ail its grace, Carrington is a superficial treatment of an urbane but obscure bunch” – Miami Herald Aug 18, 2021 Full Review A League of Their Own (1992) 82% 3.5/4 EDIT “With this tribute to the real-life All American Girls Professional Baseball League (1942-1954), director Penny Marshall confirms what some of us have suspected all along -- that she can play hardball in Hollywood's big leagues.” – Miami Herald Aug 17, 2021 Full Review A Winter's Tale (1992) 95% 2.5/4 EDIT “A Tale of Winter is unabashedly romantic and life-affirming, like Rohmer himself.” – Miami Herald Aug 17, 2021 Full Review A Goofy Movie (1995) 64% 3/4 EDIT “Wisely, this fast-paced movie has enough colorful characters and rollicking gags to keep the tykes from getting bored.” – Miami Herald Aug 17, 2021 Full Review Ethan Frome (1993) 50% 2/4 EDIT “Based on Wharton's chilling, Gothic novel of 1911, Ethan Frome is a claustrophobic tale of thwarted love that never quite stirs your compassion.” – Miami Herald Aug 17, 2021 Full Review The Opposite Sex... and How to Live With Them (1993) 7% 1/4 EDIT “Although Gross (Hexed) and Cox (Mr. Destiny) both seem earnest and personable, the script doesn't allow them to plumb any real emotions. Instead they're a couple of walking, talking singles clichés.” – Miami Herald Aug 17, 2021 Full Review The Ballad of Little Jo (1993) 77% 3/4 EDIT “The Ballad of Little Jo is a taut, unconventional adventure that takes aim at the glorious macho westerns of the past.” – Miami Herald Mar 18, 2021 Full Review Personal Velocity: Three Portraits (2002) 69% 5/10 EDIT “Too often, the grainy digital video format deters from the strong performances.” – Citysearch Nov 21, 2002 Full Review Bloody Sunday (2002) 92% 5/10 EDIT “The result is solemn and horrifying, yet strangely detached.” – Citysearch Oct 4, 2002 Full Review Little Secrets (2001) 62% 8/10 EDIT “Those who say there are no intelligent PG movies out there ought to hightail it to Little Secrets -- a smart, witty and thoroughly modern yarn.” – Citysearch Aug 23, 2002 Full Review Stuart Little 2 (2002) 82% 9/10 EDIT “If it's possible for a sequel to outshine the original, then SL2 does just that.” – Citysearch Jul 19, 2002 Full Review Like Mike (2002) 57% 7/10 EDIT “The movie's gravity-defying dunks are a lot to swallow, but Bow Wow is likable as a down-on-his-luck orphan abused by his greedy guardian.” – Citysearch Jul 2, 2002 Full Review The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) 76% 2/10 EDIT “Too dark for kids but too juvenile for adults.” – Citysearch Jun 14, 2002 Full Review Cherish (2002) 51% 8/10 EDIT “Armed with a rad '80s soundtrack and a winning cast (including indie rocker Liz Phair), Cherish is an ingenious low-budget thriller.” – Citysearch Jun 7, 2002 Full Review Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2001) 83% 7/10 EDIT “The performances are solid throughout, but Arkin is tops as a simmering pencil-pusher incensed by his employees' good fortune.” – Citysearch May 24, 2002 Full Review Ice Age (2002) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Although some early characters, like Kristen Johnson's female sloth, were iced, there's still plenty to like.” – Citysearch Mar 15, 2002 Full Review
