The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 94% A EDIT “Like the first two films in this series, it feels complete in itself. But it also serves as a rousing finale to what will stand as a towering film achievement.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% EDIT “For the first time in a long time, a movie offers a portrait of kids that is neither demeaning nor dumb. It shows a clear memory for thrill and pain of those awkward, wonderful years.” – Gannett News Service Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 91% A EDIT “The film's amazing imagery and ensemble cast supplement and enhance what has been distilled into a headlong adventure that fairly flies by... How [Peter Jackson] extracted this film from Tolkien's tedious prose is the real magic.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “"A Few Good Men" is rousing entertainment with more than cheap thrills on its mind. ” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% 3.5/4 EDIT “Reiner, working with a strong cast and an even stronger script (by Nora Ephron) blends sweetness and satire in this telling and truthful film that is both entertaining and painfully honest.” – Gannett News Service Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “Fortunately, that second half is a lulu. It is what one wants from Hook: wit, visual brilliance, heart-tugging emotion. And it more than makes up for the jogging in place of the film's first half.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% EDIT “The film is entertaining in a flashy, high-speed way. But it skimps on its assets.” – Gannett News Service Dec 16, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “True Lies is James Bond with a home life. And therein lies its greatest strength. ” – Gannett News Service Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% 4/4 EDIT “"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" isn't just best film of the summer; it is the standard by which action films of the future will be judged.” – Gannett News Service Dec 9, 2025 Full Review From Beyond (1986) 74% EDIT “Gordon is obviously having a wonderful time imagining this gruesome folic. He invests it with such energy that you're swept away by the sheer, breathless pace of it all.” – Gannett News Service Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% 9/10 EDIT “The film traces the way gay images secretly found its way into mainstream films until, finally in the 1960s and beyond, gay themes could be dealt with openly. ” – Gannett News Service Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% 2.5/4 EDIT “Sure to delight children, it will, at best, hold adults' attention by virtue of its state-of-the-art computer-generated effects.” – Gannett News Service Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Boogie Nights is sprawling and audacious, a wildly entertaining ride that also serves as a cautionary tale and, in many ways, a historical document.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Sep 24, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “Burnett's move-making is often clumsy and stilted.” – Gannett News Service Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Toy Story (1995) 100% 4/4 EDIT “The intensity of the visual experience is potent, even intoxicating. It's so strong that the toys look real. ” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Sep 10, 2025 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% 4/4 EDIT “Reiner perfectly creates the sense of unexpected disaster caught fortuitously on film.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Requiem for a Dream (2000) 80% 3.5/4 EDIT “Burstyn's performance is particularly harrowing, a terrifying look at the unintended consequences of the pursuit of fame.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Braveheart (1995) 76% 3/4 EDIT “An ambitious and satisfying endeavor that establishes Mel Gibson as a director of strength and vision. Though his reach ultimately exceeds his grasp, it's a film that's worth the effort.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) 78% EDIT “The blend of fantasy and surrealism gives everything a larger-than-life quality, like viewing the world through child's eyes. ” – Gannett News Service Jul 30, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) 77% 3/4 EDIT “Verbal, slapstick, silly, sophisticated, vulgar, refined: There's a joke for every taste in The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear.” – Gannett News Service Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994) 66% EDIT “High camp, low slapstick, gross-out humor, sophisticated satire: This movie has it all.” – Gannett News Service Jul 22, 2025 Full Review DuckTales, the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990) 66% 3/4 EDIT “The story moves quickly and imaginatively through the out-of-kilter world of Scrooge McDuck and the altered reality the genie creates.” – Gannett News Service Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% 4/4 EDIT “Jurassic Park is a dead-center bull's-eye, a film destined to be one of the all-time blockbusters -- and one that actually deserves the accolades.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Jul 1, 2025 Full Review The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) 57% 3/4 EDIT “While The Lost World has a number of well-made action sequences and some occasionally snappy dialogue, this sequel feels like a sequel: mechanical plot seemingly designed solely to create set-ups for said scenes of jeopardy.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Jun 30, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park III (2001) 49% EDIT “Jurassic Park III is not terrible filmmaking, but it is formula fare of the least imaginative type.” – Journal News (Westchester, NY) Jun 25, 2025 Full Review
