Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “"Misery" falls into the trap of catering to audience expectations.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% EDIT “The young actors are extraordinary and Reiner's direction is sensitive without being self-conscious.” – Los Angeles Daily News Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “I would never have believed that Sidney Lumet ever had anything to do with this... For the first third of the film, he can't even decide where to put the camera.” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 83% EDIT “At least you care about its characters, which is no small thing in a genre where hardware usually predominates. ” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Supergirl (1984) 19% EDIT “Director Jeannot Szwarc never locates any story in all this, so no momentum is established.” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Superman II (1980) 88% EDIT “Personally, I think the sequel is a marked improvement over the first edition. For one thing, this film is relieved of an obligation to establish Superman's credentials as in the opening chapter.” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) Jun 29, 2025 Full Review Planet of the Apes (2001) 42% EDIT “While it's fun to revisit this nearly forgotten planet in the company of a master of movie magic, one gets the feeling that Burton never found a way to embrace this place and make it his own.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 1, 2024 Full Review Almost Famous (2000) 91% EDIT “It's a coming-of-age tale compressed into a few mad weeks. And Crowe, the ex-journalist, captures the essence of good journalism -- its watchfulness, persistence and that instinct for a good human story.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Mean Girls (2004) 84% EDIT “One of the movie's achievements is persuading the audience to stay firmly in Cady's camp during her odyssey of self-discovery.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 8, 2024 Full Review Mulholland Dr. (2001) 84% EDIT “Few will be able to resist its heady sense of intrigue and two riveting lead performances by Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 11, 2023 Full Review An American Tail (1986) 76% EDIT “Once you get past these conceptual stumbling blocks, the full force of Bluth's magnificent animation takes over. It's gorgeous.” – Los Angeles Daily News May 16, 2023 Full Review Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 94% EDIT “The film glories in this deadpan humor and its wacky, improbably escapes and situations.” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) May 2, 2023 Full Review 9 to 5 (1980) 70% EDIT “Colin Higgins directs broadly, which is to say he never knows when to leave well enough alone.” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Chariots of Fire (1981) 84% EDIT “Chariots of Fire is, like all of producer David Puttnam's films, exceptionally well photographed and acted with verve by a fresh crop of young performers. Yet all the film presents are miscellaneous incidents without any real connecting tissue. ” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) Jul 18, 2022 Full Review Ordinary People (1980) 90% EDIT “Robert Redford chose this story for his directional debut undoubtedly because it's an actor's movie. And, boy, can Redford direct actors! There isn't a false note in any performance.” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Thief (1981) 80% EDIT “The film is white hot with data, but the very steadiness of the data, the almost drone-like quality reinforced by the hammering soundtrack music by Tangerine Dream and the clear, close-up images empties the mind and spurs the adrenaline.” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) Jul 7, 2022 Full Review The Godfather, Part II (1974) 96% EDIT “Seldom has a motion picture captured the feel and texture of novel form as this film does.” – Valley News (Van Nuys, CA Mar 8, 2022 Full Review Lucky (2011) 15% EDIT “Nothing is bleaker than failed black comedy, which this is.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 9, 2021 Full Review The Last Unicorn (1982) 75% EDIT “My guess is that The Last Unicom falls into a dangerous no-man's-land: Its storyline is too uninvolving for children and the animation too unsophisticated to intrigue adults.” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) Jul 21, 2021 Full Review Paris, Texas (1984) 95% EDIT “Paris, Texas is the cinematic equivalent of a symphony. The film is composed in movements that chart the emotional lives of its characters -- of haunting images and anxious silences, of gestures, landscapes, weird juxtapositions and epiphanies.” – Escondido Times-Advocate (CA) Jul 21, 2021 Full Review Face (2002) 63% EDIT “[Pan's] actors are exceptional.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 13, 2021 Full Review Tuya's Marriage (2006) 95% EDIT “Yu is an experienced and most talented actress. But the real surprise here is how well the non-pros -- Bater, a Mongolian herdsman, and Sen'ge, an equestrian -- perform.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Conception (2011) EDIT “For a slapdash, no-time-to-think indie production, Conception rolls out with surprising confidence.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 15, 2020 Full Review Arrow, the Ultimate Weapon (2011) 100% EDIT “War of the Arrows is one helluva chase movie.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 5, 2020 Full Review The Green Mile (1999) 78% EDIT “The simple fable can't stand such scrutiny. More pivotally, the weight given to each moment lends The Green Mile a ponderousness that works against the emotions the story seems to want to plug into.” – The Hollywood Reporter Dec 10, 2019 Full Review
