North (1994) 12% 1.5/4 EDIT “All in all it's a pretty depressing spectacle.” – Austin American-Statesman Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 87% 2/4 EDIT “Misery never succeeds at the crucial task of finding its tone and sticking to it.” – Austin American-Statesman Jan 21, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “An independent production might have avoided rounding off so many edges on Sorkin's script, but neither would it be able to match the entertainment provided by the raw star power of Nicholson, Cruise and the rest of the impressive cast.” – Austin American-Statesman Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% 2/4 EDIT “It's a nice try, and there are some enchanting moments. But Hook winds up straining under the weight of Spielberg's grand vision. It's a fairy tale that's been shot like a battle epic, and it's lost much its magic in the making.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film remains a breathtaking technical achievement, buoyed by strong performances from both Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. ” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 9, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 3/4 EDIT “The teaming of Schwarzenegger and Curtis is an inspired one, and Cameron proved once again that no director in filmmaking today has a grander contemporary vision. ” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% 2.5/4 EDIT “Cameron delivers some stunning sequences and Arnold has become a joy to watch; but T2 can't match its original.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Predator 2 (1990) 36% 2/4 EDIT “Predator 2, like its predecessor, is a slick, competent, well-paced action film that is limited in its effectiveness because it never bothers to flesh out the details of its horrific story.” – Austin American-Statesman Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% 2/4 EDIT “The movie is a little bit like its title: amiable but transparent, slightly clever but completely forgettable. ” – Austin American-Statesman Oct 3, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “To Sleep With Anger is a brave, compelling film.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% 2/4 EDIT “Waterworld manages to overcome its most daunting hurdle. It qualifies as a film worth seeing for its own merits, rather than for the witness-to-a-train wreck laughs provided by such other budget-busting disasters. ” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 28, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) 77% 3/4 EDIT “It's one of those films that has to keep you laughing to succeed, lest you be given a couple minutes to stop and think about how dumb the material is. The new one succeeds quite well.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Red Rock West (1993) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Red Rock West is a snappy little noirish thriller with a dynamite cast, a strong script and a compelling sense of momentum.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Spielberg is back, and summer theater audiences have something to be genuinely excited about again: Jurassic Park kicks.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Apollo 13 (1995) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Howard does this honorably and creates his most memorable work to date. And Apollo 13, a story of genuine American heroism, becomes the best film of an overwrought, largely disappointing summer movie season.” – Austin American-Statesman Jun 25, 2025 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 92% EDIT “There are scenes here that are as vivid as anything ever seen in animation. ” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 59% 2.5/4 EDIT “As pure entertainment, it works. Thought it won't be as memorable as The Lion King or Aladdin, it's still prototypical Disney fare.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “The balance of songs are co-written by Menken and Tim Rice, whose lyrics lack the snap and wit of Ashman's. But it's hard to find much fault with a film that is as consistently entertaining as this.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% 2.5/4 EDIT “Well worth seeing, but less than magical... The whole thing feels manufactured, lacking in the fluid spontaneity of The Little Mermaid; Beauty has the feel of a film in which everyone was under a great deal of pressure to create "magic."” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 16, 2024 Full Review The Prince and the Pauper (1990) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “Mickey's still a hallowed character at Disney and the short is gorgeously drawn, full of great expressions and wondrous color.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 14, 2024 Full Review The Rescuers Down Under (1990) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “A solid new animated entry from the revitalized Walt Disney Pictures, which after years of surviving on past glories, has rallied in the past five years.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 14, 2024 Full Review Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) 69% 2/4 EDIT “For all its stunning images and sweeping colors, for all its brilliant costumes and grand sets, this new Dracula winds up being a lavish cinematic misfire.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Alien 3 (1992) 44% 2/4 EDIT “In this film, there's not enough complexity or intrigue for [Sigourney Weaver] to work with. Instead, we get the slick self-indulgence of director David Fincher, a man who seems to think he invented the cinematic uses of backlighting and dry ice.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Little Women (1994) 92% 4/4 EDIT “The new Little Women is a graceful portrayal of the spontaneous intimacy shared by four sisters and their mother. ” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 11, 2024 Full Review The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 89% 3/4 EDIT “Darabont's screenplay is too expertly massaged for its own good, but the performances, particularly Freeman's authoritative portrayal, redeem much of the formula.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 4, 2024 Full Review
